We like Dogwatch, albeit if it is the same in NH as Conn. We paid $1,000 for 2 collars, training, and installation of the control box and buried wire. it has worked well for nearly 10 years. The only "escapes" we have had was when the battery died in the collar and we didn't notice. Also, we tried not having the dogs wear the collars and after a while they get very close to the edge as time passes. We learned that not putting the collars on every time is a no no. One thing about the installation of the buried wire. Don't make it too close to the sidewalk as people walking by may try to unwittingly coax the dogs out of the area to pat them, or feel threatened if the dogs get too close.
There are kits you can buy that are significantly less expensive, but without the proper equipment to bury the wire, you will be doing a lot of digging by hand. Good luck!
