I'm looking to buy a house, and I'm wondering how you can tell if a house has an invisible fence. I currently live in an apartment, so I have no idea. What should I look for to see if a house has one of these?
Ask the owners, they would definitely know. Why does it matter either way? It's not something that is an issue, unless you plan on wearing a shock collar calibrated to that particular fence...
The invisible fence companies recommend keeping a sign visible in the yard. If you are viewing the house, typically there will be a 'control system' somewhere in the house. When we had one in our old house, it was in the garage.
I believe that new collars can be purchased and calibrated to that sytem. Not 100% on that though.

A neighbor of mine has one. I only know because his dog will only go to a certain point, although, while they were training him, there were flags up indicating where the fence was.
Can't you just ask the seller or the agent?
