opinions on electronet

So this stuff seems to good to be true. Inexpensive, portable, whats the catch? Does this stuff really work?
I have a nigerian goat, and probably another one this year too, along with mini pigs. Will it eep them in, and predators out? How do you get in and out of it without getting zapped? It would seem that it isnt convenient to enter and exit, unless the was a seperate gate, or a non electric handle to open part of it?

Yes, and it's the ONLY thing that worked with my pygmies. With Nigerian Dwarf goats, as long as you don't have anything next to the fence that gives them a jumping off point, you can get a fence that is 36" tall and just step over. Or, put a cut off switch nearby so you can turn it off when you want to go in.
