My fense says to use Solid core copper burial wire, however I have a friend with a genuine Invisible Fence and he's using stranded copper wire just fine (ie: the core of the wire is many fine wires instead of one solid wire). Just make sure you get burial grade wire.
I'm going to get stranded for my fence.

They only work for your dog.
Bond's Right, I just bought a Fence bout' 3 weeks ago, ran out of the 500' wire that came with it, went to ACE, picked up another 200 ft. for like $15, then proceded to finish my fence. Easy as pie.
BTW the dog hates this fence, the first week he was afraid to go outside.

AHah hilarious!
ive wondered how long does it keep shocking him/her when it crosses the 'fence' line.
i mean if its a shock and then when the dog is 5 ft on the other side of the fence it stops again.
whats to stop the dog from enduring the brief pain for freedom if it is that way?

i had a really bad experience with it and in the end we just got a wire fence around our backyard anyways.
originally we had invisible fencing installed. the fvckers made the strength of the fence too high and it was being amplified by the cars on our driveway. the result: when we took our dog between two of our cars, he was shocked.
the following event was the worst, and as a result we stopped using the fence: our dog, niku, had a problem being contained within the fence. he would often run really fast past the wire, get a quick shock, and then escape. as a result, the inviso fence ppl came over with a larger collar that delivered a higher voltage shock.
again, niku tried to escape, but this time he stopped within the "shock" radius of the fence (i.e. he was continuously shocked). this occurred while i was sleeping in the morning, and i heard him screaming in the backyard. I shot out of bed (boxers and tshirt, barefoot), ran to the backyard and into the woods, picked up niku and ran back inside the house.
to this day, when niku sees the collar he hides his tail between his legs and runs away. what a horrible horrible experience with this system. i will NEVER recommend this to anyone. (btw the shocks are nasty; i tried one on my hand).

My fence shocks him when he gets within ~1 foot of the actual line, but it will beep variably according to how high a setting it's on. (i.e. 1=10 feet, 10= ~1foot before it shocks). I believe my Minature Schnauzer (15 lbs) has ran through it once, the time he did, I drug him right back through it to the right side of the fence, after that, we've had no incidents with him running across. When it begins to beep, he slowly backs up until it stops. Very effective IMO and doesn't really hurt them (that bad).

I use one to back up my chain link fence for one of my dogs that likes to escape all the time. I am using one of the extra strong collars and it does jolt you pretty good but its not that bad. In 2 years he hasn't once escape while wearing the collar. he figured it out pretty damn quik. Now I usually only make him wear it at night and early in the morning since he isn't as bad about it anymore.
As for the people that think its cruel it was either the shock collar or chaining him up. I think he is happier this way.

FYI - I'm not saying it's a bad thing.
It's better than a cleeted collar and 1x1/4" chain link at 6 feet on 4 cinderblocks.

We used to have a large yard with one of the underhground systems. The problem was, the dogs were a bit too smart. They would lay right next to the wire so their collars would beep, and wait until the batteries ran out.
