I had a giant schnauzer (85 pounds of muscle) and she would never break through the fence whilst chasing someone off the property. She only broke through the fence if we were on the other side and strangers (door-to-door salesman, mormons, jehovah's witnesses, just plain weirdos) approached us. Then she'd sit next to us growling and showing the teeth. We took the collar off for her on our way back home. Casey didn't like getting near the fence, if she was chasing something/someone, chasing them off the property was enough.
The best way to have fun with the invisible fence is to install part of the line indoors and then get gullible friends to walk over it while holding the collar.
