How do you test an invisible fence, if you don’t have a dog with you? That’s the question some buyers and I pondered at a recent home inspection.
One of the buyers, Deeya Pavelle, was willing to model the electronic dog collar (shown left), but I couldn’t persuade Deeya to take a walk in the back yard where the invisible fence was installed. Home inspector, Kevin Fulara, wasn’t willing to wear the collar. I suggested offering extra credit to Kevin’s student inspector from McHenry County College who was shadowing Kevin, but he didn’t volunteer either. 
Deeya and her partner, Dayle, will have another opportunity to test the invisible fence at their final walkthrough, if they choose to bring their dog, Bandit, with them. My guess is Bandit will have a mixed reaction to his new back yard, but he’ll adjust in no time. The view is much better!
