Chip it, I know several people that got their dogs back because of the chip. Oh, and one person that had to pay a lot of money because his chipped pit bull went on a rampage...

Have you tried training your dog not to leave the yard?
My pitties are pretty good about not leaving if they see the fence open. I had one instance they left and they came back 30 min later. Thank goodness they didn't get into any trouble.

I accidentally let my girlfriend's two mini dachsunds in with the garage door up and entry door open. Luckily they weren't real interested in going for a stroll last night...

We have spent a LOT of time training the dog. Like I said, she listens perfectly while in the house and in the backyard. It's when she gets out that she doesn't listen.
When she does get out, she usually returns within the hour. This last time was the only time that she has been "lost" and she went like a mile + away from the house.

My sister did the wireless fence one. Worked well her, but her dog is a pansy.
It only shocked him twice before he knew his boundaries. Heck, the actual collar was only on for 3 months (or so) and he's been collar free for a year plus and still won't go anywhere near the edge of the property.
I'd say chip him at least though.

yeah, some dogs learn that its the collar shocking them and then will go back to their old behaviors once the collar is off
