Invisible Fence for Dogs
If you’re worried about making sure that
your dog is safe, an invisible fence for dogs will ensure that your favorite canine is able to skip,
leap and play carelessly in your backyard. These fences are recommended by the national humane society and by
vets everywhere so they come highly recommended and are perfectly safe. They operate by installing a transmitter
near an outdoor outlet and running an underground wiring system around the perimeter of your property or anyplace
you do not want your dog to go, like a pool, garden or flower bed.
The transmitter will relay a
signal to a receiver that you will put on your dog’s collar. The signal, similar to that of a radio wave, will be
transmitted to your dog warning them that they have stepped into an area where they are not allowed to
be. This warning is done in different ways, sometimes just by a beep. Most of the time, your dog will quickly
react and retreat. If your dog ignores the beep and continues into the forbidden area, the receiver will emit
either a static electricity charge (which feels like the shock we get when we scoot across a carpeted floor) or a
light spray of citronella. Your dog does not enjoy this spicy, citric smell, finding it annoying and this will
teach your dog where his boundaries are. They will soon learn to associate these warning signs with knowing when to
retreat.
Using an invisible fence for dogs
will take some training on the part of you and your dog but it will surprise you at how quickly your dog will learn
where the boundaries have been established. The invisible fence for dogs comes with a basic training video and with
a little patience and determination; your dog will be trained in no time. Your new purchase will give you the peace
of mind you need when you’re not at home and your dog will enjoy the freedom.
Back in the 1970s
a Pennsylvania salesman who traveled often became concerned with the growing number of dogs that had been hit
by cars. He made the decision to partner with an electronic engineer to invent a fence that would keep dogs from
getting in the road. After research, trial and error, he patented the first invisible fence for dogs. He
actually partnered with a university to study the short and long term effects this system would have on man’s best
friend. The findings concluded that the system was effective and safe too. Many invisible fence companies have
sprung up since that time and they continue to develop various types of safe and improved methods for using their
invisible fences for dogs. These improved systems have expanded to provide invisible indoor fences that work the
same way. Indoor fences keep dogs away from harmful chemicals and furniture that dogs tend to damage, chew and
tear.
Before you buy an invisible fence
for dogs, be sure to check into the guarantees and warranties that the companies provide. These fences can keep
your dog safe, happy and physically fit. Your dog will thank you for their
freedom!
