Wireless Dog Fence

While safety and security for your yard and home is important, many home owners have pets that also need to be kept safe and secured.  Wireless dog fences, also known as invisible fences or electronic dog fences keeps your dog contained in a specified area within your yard, while allowing them the freedom to run around and get their daily exercise.  Coupled with a healthy diet, this is so important to your dog’s overall health.

Dog fences have come a long way over the years.  There was a time when the only route was a non wireless underground dog fence system that was cumbersome to install.  It involved burying wires in your hard and the whole process of training your dog to understand the signals and different queues was involved.

With a wireless dog fence, there are no wires to bury and training your dog to stay within a confined area has never been easier.  The most notable brand on the market today is the PetSafe Wireless Dog Fence.  The PIF-300 model comes with an adjustable five level receiver collar for dogs weighing eight pounds and up.  The collar weighs about 2.5 ounces, which allows for use on very small dogs as well as very large dogs.

The nylon collar is also water proof.  This means your dog can go swimming without any damage done to the collar. The collar also has a built in low battery indicator and a safety measure that turns off the collar if for some reason power is lost to the fence.  This prevents the dog from getting unwanted corrections from the fence’s transmitter.

Other brands like Dog Guard makes use of flags as part of the training process.  The flags give your dog a visual reminder of where not to go.  Dog Guard dealers will actually work along with you during the most crucial stage of training to ensure everything is progressing nicely for both you and the dog.  After about two weeks, you and your dog can begin to enjoy the benefits of this system. The Dog Guard also comes with a lifetime warranty and everything is tested and assembled in the US.
