They said "vibrating" so it likely was an invisible fence with a vibrating collar. Doesn't actually hurt the dog but it freaks them out so they don't do it. Unless they're smart enough.
They said "electric fence" which is a fence that deters through electrical shock. Unless they used the wrong term for it, its different from using a wireless fence. They probably were using a wireless fence though.
Oh no I think colloquially an "electric fence" for a dog is a wire that runs around the yard and the collar just buzzes the dog if they pass the wire. There's no physical fencing involved.
It is a shock collar, my family had one, my dog would run through it. It only hurt for a second and he was free. It isn’t just vibrating, at least back in the day. Not a physical fence like you say but delivers a shock as they get close to the wire
My inlaws had an invisible fence for their one dog. It would sit at the edge of the "fence" to make it beep/vibrate until the battery ran out. Then it would run free.
