we installed our own fencing... we have electric fencing for our livestock pasture, so we just put in temporary fence poles (used for dividing pasture usually) & strung electric fence wire at 1', 2' & 4' (my dogs are big). then we ran a wire from the pasture fence to the dog fence to charge it. basic livestock fencing isn't too expensive. the chargers are the most expensive part (unless you get rolls of portable fence. that stuff is expensive!). chargers here costs around US$80-100, for under 5 miles. i think you might want to look for a local 'invisible fence' supplier. they install a radio fence line below ground & the dogs wear a collar with a transponder. if they get too close to the buried line, they get a shock. the advantage to that over electric fence is the child won't accidentally get shocked by touching the fence. lee -- war is peace freedom is slavery ignorance is strength
