Our transmitter is in the garage and we too cross our driveway. We've had no problems at all. We fit the wire between the edge of the driveway which as asphalt and the street curb which is cement.
As far as once they break through---yep, they would get shocked coming back. Chester has only done that once...he was just way too tempted by the Golden across the street (naturally the street). He's learned and now he won't cross at all. When we take him for a walk we always use the same area to leave the yard---kind of a magic door. If we try and take him out anywhere else he won't go...even if we call him.

Jac, I think I posted this on another board, but the fence I got for our doodle is a wireless fence. Its called the Petsafe Wireless Pet Fence. You just plug the reciever in and you can adjust the perimeter with the dial on the reciever to suit your yard (one reciever covers over 1/2 an acre). It will work over concrete or anything else. I have it plugged in the house and the dog is free to roam all around the yard, front and back. It took maybe a whole 45 minutes to get it working and the dog trained. It beeps once they get close enough to be shocked as a warning (and you can adjust the shock or just have the beep) and unlike the wire underground fences, the wireless one will continue to shock until the dog gets back into the perimeter. It retails for about $260, but I got mine off of ebay for $220. It works great and is portable.

Thanks! I like the options on that...lots of choices...sounds like it works as well as the underground, but easier to set up and to take with you if you move!
