Available at innotek.net ($100 for a starter kit), Zones can easily be installed in a doorway or under your favorite lounge chair. As with outdoor invisible fences, dogs wear collars that react when the pets get too close to a Zone. Innotek says the signal is a "nonpainful tingling sensation" combined with an audible cue--a deterrent, but perfectly humane. --By Wilson Rothman
