Should I use an electronic fence to contain dogs and stop fighting?

Question

Hey, I was thinking about using shock collars on my dogs for containment. As of right now they stay on chains, but i want them to have more room to run around. When they were young they’d fight over food or they would mess with one another by barking or dominance. Do you think this would be a good idea? I just dont want them fighting. Its the momma dog (7) and the siblings which are almost 2. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Female | spayed | 1 year and 10 months old | 70 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I like this idea. Electronic fences can be a great solution. The caveats: some dogs will get so excited by something (bird, squirrel, etc) that they ignore the shocks and keep right on going. Use the collars EXACTLY as recommended. I have seen plenty of horrible neck wounds from collars left on too long. Best of luck to you and the dogs!
