Why a Wireless Dog Fence?

Although dogs are certainly treated as a part of the family, many pet owners complain that their dogs are undisciplined and cause a lot of problem when they run out of the house. These circumstances can result in losing the pet forever as the dog might get lost, get attacked by a stray animal and/or run in front of an automobile.

A Wireless Dog Fence is the best method to ensure that the dog learns to recognize and respect the boundary of the house and doesn’t try to cross it.

Many wonder as to why Wireless Dog Fence Product should be preferred over the other fencing systems. This is because the wooden fencing and iron fencing is more costly and can spoil the beauty of the owner’s garden or yard. Installing the fence means restrictions in roaming for the owner and his/her family members also. In case of wireless dog fence systems, the owner just has to install an wireless wire below the ground which would remain virtually invisible.

If the dog owner goes for a conventional collar and hook or a small kennel, then there is the risk of restricting the dog from adequate exercise. This can lead to physical, emotional and mental instability in the pet. The working of the containment system is also simple and the owner doesn’t have to worry regarding pet’s jumping or digging habits as the wireless dog fence covers a height of six to twelve feet above the ground. With this containment system, the owner is giving his/her dog a perfect blend of activity and discipline.

An wireless dog fence is one of the best containment systems as these provide the dog with enough freedom to have the exercise it wants while disciplining them in the set boundary.

Why Prefer an Invisible Dog Fence

An invisible dog fence is the best containment system as it doesn’t spoil the yard and provides the dog with ample space to roam about.

While browsing for pet containment systems, one encounters a number of different Dog Fences which vary in size, budget and the material involved in creating the fence. However, an invisible dog fence is considered the best system as it is relatively cheap, can be installed easily and gives the dog its freedom.

Many budget dog owners go for cheap cages or kennels so as to save money on the system. However, lack of physical exercise can make the dog mentally and physically unstable and installing a wooden or iron fence would mean destroying the beauty of the yard.

All these hassles are created by the Petsafe Wireless Dog Fence systems. As their name states, these systems are invisible. No fence or chain is required which is nicer for the dog as well as the home. These fences are made in such a way that they can fit any house despite the property being small or large.

The owner just has to put an electronic collar or electronic receiver around the dog’s collar. This receiver sends a high pitched sound when the dog comes near the invisible boundary set by the owner. If the pup keeps on ignoring it, then a static shock is experienced by it which is enough to scare it back inside the boundary. However, it is best to train the dog regarding the dog fence so that it can learn to respect the shock they receive and not get frightened by it. The system also comes with a multi level receiver which can be used to reduce the voltage experienced. This is useful for sensitive or small dogs.

Making Best Use of Electric Dog Fence Collar Part I

For beginners, an Electric Dog Fence is a special containment system which uses sound and electric warnings to prevent the dog from roaming outside the fence boundary. In this system, wires are used to place a boundary in (or around the home) and these are connected to the transmitter. This transmitter is connected wirelessly by a receiver which is attached with the collar of the dog (special device included in the electric dog fence package).

If the dog tries to go outside the fenced area, a high pitched sound is emitted to warn it and if it continues to go further, then a static shock is given to make the dog stay inside the boundary. Slowly, it learns to respect and tries to ‘avoid’ the sound and the shocks.

The collar of the Electric Dog Fence Reviews is a very important part and its proper configuration is necessary to make sure that the system is safe and useful. There are certain things which the owner can do to ensure that the collar works perfectly. The first consideration involves the battery. Any containment collar has a battery life of three to four months.

However, this time can vary if the dog is stubborn and keeps on testing the fence even after being trained.
Due to more number of sounds and shocks, the battery gets drained quickly.

If the battery fails without the knowledge of the owner, then the dog might experience a very feeble static (which can be ignored) and run outside the house. Therefore, the manufacturer should be inquired regarding how often the battery should be replaced.

The battery life of the Electric Dog Fence collar should be checked continuously to ensure that it is working fine and the intensity of the sound/shock is maintained.
