Installing A Wireless Pet Fence

By Clementine Jacobs

Utilizing a wireless pet fence to keep your pet safely within the yard is not only easy to set up, but it is also a safer alternative to traditional fences. You may think that these kinds of fences may be harmful to the dog if used for a long time, or even if used only once. Truthfully, it will be relatively easy for you to train your pup to avoid the boundaries of your property so they will not get shocked often. What's more is that wireless fences do not do any long term damage because of the small amount of electricity they use, making them completely safe.

The reason that many people feel that these fences are not safe is because they send a small jolt of electricity to the dog via collar whenever they get too close to the fence. These are not actually fences, but really wires that are electrically charged. They are run underneath the ground around your home. Your dog must wear a special collar with a receiver to make the wireless pet fence effective: when the collar gets near the wire, they are jolted. Often two or three times of experiencing this jolt is enough to deter your pooch from getting too close to the outside of the yard, but he or she will still require some training from you to really get the gist of it.

These types of fences are also affordably priced in the low hundreds, making them a much cheaper alternative to wooden fences. They are also easy to install. To install, you need to dig around the outer diameter of your lawn and lay the wire underground. Many people mark where the wires are with marks so that you and your dog can take notice of where it is later on. It is very simple and takes almost no time at all.

While caging your dog up in your yard may seem like it is going against their nature, it is necessary to ensure their safety. Keeping them on a leash can be painful and is almost always constricting. Dogs are never happy to be tied to a tree or a post. They want to have free range of where they live and play, and you can give them that to a point.

Do not worry about the safety of your dog if you decide to go with this type of fence. These fences may seem cruel at the start, and training can take some time, but your pooch will figure it out in no time. Soon enough they will be running and playing happily within your yard. A wireless pet fence is a great way to both give your dog some space to run in, and to give you some peace of mind that they will not be escaping anytime soon. They are happy to be able to run around, and you will be happy enough to know that they will not be in any sort of danger after you set up the fence. - 29895
