Re: Fencing
So in summary, check that you are permitted to erect a fence at the front, and if so, check with the landlord if he will contribute to the (reasonable) cost of erecting one, either directly or by rent reduction,...if it is to be a permanent one, or if he won't contribute, and you don't want it to be permanent, take it with you when you leave. Simples!

I fear there's a hint of sarcasm there. If you'd like I could elucidate at some length.
I don't think invisible fences are a good idea. The snag is that the dog will ignore the pain if it's excited enough about something across the barrier, it's exactly when there's something exciting outside the fence that you don't what the dog running out.
I suppose people don't often use invisible fence for children. It may be very British of me to say so but if I can't use it on my children I certainly wouldn't use it on my dogs.

Having this fence has allowed our dog to have a lot more freedom than he would have had in a traditionally fenced backyard. He loves to sit in the driveway and watch the world go by, he would not have been able to do that with a traditional fence. Another plus is that it is portable, so if someone else looks after him or you take a vacation rental then the dog can be similarly contained on those properties too.

I get the whole electric fences thing, the dog is over excited and ignores the pain. Then when they want to come home again they are calmer and remember the pain so don't cross.
Invisible fencing for children sounds a good idea. Could also try the anti-bark collars too, especially when in public places.

Re: Fencing
Ignoring the pain is very dependent on the dog, ours won't even ignore the beep which comes first to warn the dog that he is somewhere he shouldn't be. Even when one of his buddies is walking just past his boundary he won't cross it, and will chase a ball, squirrel, rabbit up to the boundary and then stop. Actually I tested the fence on both of my kids (they volunteered) and myself before I tried it on the dog, at the level ours is set it is a very mild tingle - one of the kids quite liked it, but he is weird
