Farm gate problem

I have a very similar situation, there are a couple cattle gates that I don't want the dogs crossing, even if they are open. I was "on the fence" 😆 so to speak. Invisible fence was the solution. I don't have "door dashers" but if you open a gate long enough to get a tractor through , by the time you walk back to close it a curious dog will go through. Now the doggies thing the fence shoots lightning and they know it's "range". It's not as gentle as I'd like to be, I really am one foot in on any type of Ecollar, but a lightning bolt to the neck is a lot nicer than letting fido pick his boundaries and having him get run over or shot by a trespassing hunter.

Oh, most importantly. This method works with no treats. I will not do treat work. AND this method requires no commands. A dog cannot hear "sit" , "stay", or any verbal command while a tractor is thundering through. My dogs learned quickly that the only time they go through the gate is when a leash is on, and a sit,stay,and break are issued.

The only one I've used is "extreme dog fence by perimeter technologies" on amazon. I like it, it has variable power levels and apparently you can change the range from the wire but I haven't tried to do that .

It's not necessary to bury it all the way around, they send you a quality wire that can sit in the sun. I just stapled it up to my fence posts and only buried it at the gates.

One thing to note, if you want off limits areas within the fence, they send you the twisted wire and splices, but double your wire because that can only be done with a double perimeter wire, according to the directions.
