His dog wouldn't want to go back because he would get shocked trying to go home.
We have 10 acres we went with Red Brand Horse fencing attached to drill welding pipe.
You also have to figure gates that are dog proof.
We have horses also, like the safety factor of having good fences.

The ones with the wireless transmitter work better. I know several people that had dogs figure out if they run through the area with the buried fence they were free with minimal pain. The transmitter administers a shock while out of range a, for up to 30 seconds or if they return to the range of the transmitter. It does beep for two seconds when they get close to the edge of the range before the shock comes. Nothing is foolproof though. You still need to check the batteries and check for dead spots. For 2.5 acres you would need more than one transmitter and power to them.
