Are you worried that your dog will get into the garbage, neighbor’s compound, or into the attic when you are not around?
And every time you go out, you have to chain it to the kennel and go, leaving your poor dog barking and whining all day.
Now there is no more need to worry. You can leave your pet safely roaming around when you are not there.
The dog fences are a solution to this problem. Two types of dog fences are available – electric dog fence and wireless dog fence. These are invisible fences which are either buried or wireless.
An electric dog fence is a pet accessory which you can use to put your pet dog in control without roaming out of the specified limits. An electric dog fence has two parts – a wire and a pet collar with a receiver set. The wire is buried underground along the line of the perimeter of the area being fences.
The wire transmits signals. So if your dog crosses or tries to cross the fence, the transmitted signals are picked by the collar set and produce a sound. A mild electric shock also will be given to the dog while crossing the fence, but the shock does not produce any undesired effect on the animal.
The benefit of electric dog fences is that no physical fences need to be created. So you can maintain your landscape design as it is.
Also your pet will stay within the area you specify and will not sneak out without your permission. You can get customized dog collars along with the electric fence.
These collars can be chosen based on your dog’s neck and body color.
The collars are made of light weight materials and will not be irritable on your pet.
It can be made of soft rubber or other materials friendly on your dog’s fur. These collar sets are usually powered by lithium eco-friendly batteries.
These batteries provide long life and do not require changing the batteries often. You can also buy rechargeable batteries for the purpose.
Wireless dog fences do not have wires and is a more innovative way of keeping your pets within your specified area. It has a transmitter and a wireless receiver.
Some wireless dog fence receivers allow you to add more than one dog to the safe list. The collar is made of water resistant material, has three electric correction modes and a beep mode to warn your dog when nearing the fence.
The receiver works on batteries and gives indications of the amount of power left in the battery.

Wireless Dog Fence for your loving pets
The setup of a Wireless Dog Fence needs some steps to complete.
The wireless dog fence is a good thing to train your dog. This is a scientific method and you have to install the system in your home manually. The process is not so hard; you just have to follow some basic steps.
First step: First of all, you have to put the transmitter inside the house. The usual range is 110 volts in the USA, Canada or many European countries and 120 for some Asian and some other countries around the world. You need to be sure about the voltage support by the transmitter from the manufacturer or better use a voltage converter.
Second step: Now you have to setup a range of the boundary. The area can vary over your space or the space you want to give the dog. In normal situations, the transmitter can support up to maximum 180 foot range. You can enlarge it by using multiple transmitters. The transmitter works in a circle.
Third step: The next step is to put the collar around the neck of your dog. The collar holds a receiver which will maintain a continuous connection with the transmitter and let you know if the dog is near the boundary. If the dog crosses the boundary, the collar will give it an electric shock to make the dog obey the fence.
While you are setting up the boundary, you should follow the guideline of the manufacturer very carefully to get the maximum result. If you don’t understand anything, you better call for expert help.
