Just as there are many different kinds of traditional physical fences, there are also different types of wired dog fences. While the basic concept is the same, the qualities and features are not. Not all fences come equipped with these features. You should consider how many levels of correction the product offers.
If you have a stubborn, strong-willed, or physically strong dog, or if you have multiple dogs of varying sizes, you will want to have more correction levels available in order to custom-design the corrections for your dog.
Some wired dog fences have a battery-backup function, but this is not standard with all systems. A battery-backup capability is a very good safety feature, covering the possibility that you forget to check the battery, or are late in changing it.
It simply is not worth the risk to opt out of this feature. Another factor to consider is the amount of interference that could impact the deterrent to your pet. Some wired dog fences have low interference while others can be comparatively high. With all the potential interferences available in our environment these days, it is very important to find out what the capacity is for any wired dog fence you are seriously considering purchasing.

By: Melissa Russell-Ausley. Want to keep Fido from fertilizing the neighbors yard? See more pet pictures. A Little Background While the exact date of its origin is unclear, the underground or wireless pet fence industry started to gain momentum in the early s.
Why the Increased Popularity? Components of the System: Transmitter Most underground pet fence systems consist of three components: A transmitter Underground wiring A lightweight receiver worn on your pet's collar A sample layout of a yard using an underground pet fence.
This layout illustrates the many ways that the underground fence can work for you. The driveway and sideways represent areas for your "invisible gate.
The transmitter must be mounted in a dry location such as a garage or shed , near an electrical outlet. Mounting the transmitter is really easy. All you'll need is a few screws to hang the transmitter on, a screwdriver, and the electrical outlet.
Components of the System: Underground Wiring The buried wire is just that -- a single strand of insulated wire. Spool of gauge, multi-stranded wire Most basic underground or wireless pet fence kits come with a foot roll of 18 gauge multi-stranded wire, wire nuts and a wire fastener.
Components of the System: Receiver Photo courtesy The collar Most basic underground or wireless pet fence kits come with one waterproof, lightweight receiver and a collar. How It Works The idea behind all underground pet fences, regardless of the manufacturer, is the same. The Correction An underground pet fence is basically a psychological device. Training: The Basics Underground pet fences should not be used as a replacement for obedience training , but as a supplement to it.
Boundary flags : Boundary flags will serve as a visual training aid for both you and your pet. The flags should remain in place for at least two weeks, but in some cases as long as 30 days. Your pet will eventually associate everything inside those boundaries as its safe zone , the area where your pet can roam freely without getting a correction.
Correction Training : The first time your pet receives a correction should be on a leash. This enables the owner to easily redirect the pet to the appropriate behavior should the pet become startled or confused. Consistent Training : Some pets are more stubborn than others and need the system to be on all the time to contain them.
The Dummy Collar Effect : This is where the activated collar is eliminated as a learning factor, typically for three to seven days. This way, the pet learns to avoid the yard boundary altogether. If you have a stubborn pet, this probably is not the best training method. Training: Additional Notes A dog working under a lot of adrenaline can power right through the fence barrier.
Is this Right for You? Cautions Underground pet fences will not work in the following situations: An underground fence cannot contain an untrained dog. If you do not have the time to train your pet , or if your pet is totally wild, an underground fence is probably not for you.
