I have a non-intrusive, innocent looking wire running around my landscaping 
in the front of the house.  I had a duck that liked to lay her eggs under 
one of the larger Yews.  The dogs (Southern dogs)  liked to steal her eggs. 
The fence has deterred the dogs from entering the area (they stay away from 
it even if it is unplugged) and the duck is happy.  However, if I 
accidentally touch this wire, it will put me on the ground.  I guess this 
would serve your purpose, but you'd have to get a duck and a dog to justify 
it.
