The Basics Of Electric And Wireless Dog Containment Systems

The fundamental components of invisible pet fence systems whether they are electric or wireless, are quite similar. They both include a receiver collar that your pet wears, and a transmitter which sends a signal to the collar. In some manner or another, you can establish the range of the system. With an electronic products, wire is hidden around the perimeter of the area to be protected. A wireless version is much less complicated. Just specify the range on the transmitter.

That determines a boundary for your canine in which the receiver collar provides a static correction any time the boundary is approached or crossed. The invisible dog fence transmitter will first send out an audio tone that your furry friend is able to hear letting your canine know that he has gone past the boundary. If the sound is disregarded then the sound is followed by the static correction, generally known as the "shock." Most of these systems have a safety feature that halts the static correction after a short period of time, should your pet gets trapped on the incorrect side of the boundary.

The fundamental functionality of most canine containment products is the same. After the boundary has been determined, you need to use correct training methods to keep your furry friend contained inside the chosen area. The majority of the top quality products come with first-class training guides, and many even come with a training DVD. Some of the advantages of each type of system are listed here:

A wireless canine containment system is a great portable way to contain your dog. They are great to bring along with you anywhere you go. They are also excellent for home use. They do handle a decent size area with a single transmitter by itself, however more transmitters are necessary to protect bigger areas.

The electric kind of pet containment uses hidden wire buried around the outside of the area to be contained. They are fantastic for home use, and with the purchase of extra wire, most are able to cover up to 25 acres sometimes more on one transmitter alone. The majority are available ready to protect 1/3 to 1/2 acre. They are usually less expensive than the wireless models, but your specific needs can help you determine which is right for you and your pet.

With an invisible dog containment system appropriate training is a crucial element to the safe and effective use of these types of systems. I am a big promoter of employing appropriate training techniques for your pet, and highly recommend you comprehend the training required before selecting one of these systems.
