Do you know anything more about the electric fences with collars?

I have the same problems with my dog, Romeo (http://www.mallorn.com/~romeo/).
There's one bed in back that's just about devoid of plants now because he
runs back ad forth over it chasing squirrels on the power lines.

I had purchased an electric fence but never installed it because it sounded
like it radiated out a 6' radius from the wire.  My yard is too small and
has too many beds to create such ambiguous boundaries -- I need something
that works only if the wire is crossed, not if you come near it.

Is there anything out there like that?
