I have used the wireless version with great success. We also have a busy road in the front of our house which almost killed two of my dogs. The idea is to use it to train them to stay within a perimeter. Once they are trained and understand their limits, they do not need them. It isn't meant to cause pain as someone stated earlier. It took my bullies a little longer to grasp the concept than it did my APBTs but they all stay in bounds without their collars now(with my supervision of course). If I go inside I will put the collar on the dominant dog just to be safe, as the others will hang near him and he knows that collar time means stay close to home. Most people use these collars incorrectly. They think you can just strap it on them and that's it.....WRONG!!! They have got to be trained with these collars. You have to show them where and where not is permitted. Just like any other training, praise and reward when they listen and BZZZZZZ when they don't...haha. I make sure to always say "Far Enough" when they get close to the boundary to warn them. If they choose to ignore me then they recieve mild jolt. I had my first three dogs trained without these collars but as I got a few more dogs...things got out of balance and I needed a helping hand.

Everybody's case is different. With me, it worked. I'm sure they would bolt past it if a rabbit ran in front of them but then again nothing is fool proof...not kennels, chain link fences or steel cable runs. I suppose those huge ass chains would do if you want your dog hauling those things around all day. My dogs like that sense of freedom and only at night do they go on chains and in their kennels.
