Default electric fence?

Begin by calling a some real garden centers. Most won't carry the stuff,
but eventually, you'll find someone who can recommend a local store. Also,
see if you have one of these stores in your area:

They have LOTS of electric fence supplies. Interesting stores, too.
Explore, and you'll figure out why it helps to be rich if you want to own
a horse. So many accessories! Almost as expensive as owning a boat. :-)


i checked ebay... is this what i want?

Yes. You also need wire, conductors, tensioners, etc. Yu can design
this fence any way you want once you understand your needs. There are
lots of options of course, if you are in the United States.

Below ground fences for dogs are out of favor. Above ground fencing
works very well and is identical to the fencing used to control
livestock. Existing fence posts can be used or new ones if desired.
You can have as many or as few wires as desired.

Anyplace that sells livestock feed can help you. In my area that means
the farmers co-op or the Fleet Farm. Check the yellow pages. Fencing
is a well established technology and any salesperson should be able to
help you. Please use the link I previously posted.
