Do you want to keep your dog in your yard without a fence? Is your dog an escape artist? Do you take your dog with you on hunting or camping trips? Would you like to own an underground dog fence, but don’t have time to spend on installation? Are there some rooms in your house where your dog should not be? If your answer to any of these questions is “yes,” you may want to consider the advantages of a wireless dog fence.

Wireless dog fence is a new and popular product in today’s electronic world. If your bank account is a concern then a wireless dog fence is a good option saving lots of money spent on a physical fence that can be dug under. It will give your dog plenty of freedom to run and play, while at the same time keeping him safe, secure, and well behaved. A wireless dog fence is safe for your dog, doesn’t put you into danger of bankruptcy, and doesn’t take but a few minutes to install. It is much cheaper than building a traditional fence, and does not obstruct your view or give your yard an unsightly appearance like a fence can. Some brands can be used inside or outside giving you flexibility to control their boundaries inside too! And because they are easily portable, traveling is a cinch when you use wireless dog fence! Lastly, if you already have a fence and your dog is an escape artist, a wireless dog fence can help solve this frustrating problem. You can even teach your dog to respect your physical fence if they are consistently kept within it, but most dogs learn it’s the collar they need to respect.

A wireless dog fence does have a few priorities. The most important is that you need to get your fence from a good company. Examples include Petsafe, Innotek, and Perimeter. Your transmitter needs to be appropriate for your dog’s weight. Another transmitter may be better than one if you need a larger area. A wireless dog fence may not be the right choice for you if your yard is sloped. And we strongly recommend that you should buy a model that can be adjusted to several correction levels.

If you use the instructions, then installing will be easy and only take a few minutes. Your home and your garage are both a good place to put the transmitter where it will not get rained on! You can then place the wireless dog fence collar on your dog and begin training him; do not neglect this essential part of the process.

Training your dog to respect the boundaries of your new wireless dog fence usually takes a few weeks, but the time period greatly depends on each individual dog. Persistence and consistency in training will pay off. You should always supervise your dog for the initial period after the installation of your wireless dog fence. You can also place flags to mark the boundaries and use them to show your dog where he is allowed to be. Make sure you have a leash on hand, because you will need it for your first few times. Also, you need to turn the correction level to the lowest point. Then follow him on the leash, allowing him to explore until he reaches the boundary and receives a mild shock. This shock is very humane and is not designed to harm your dog, but just to get his attention. The static shock is similar to discharge you get after rubbing your feet on the carpet and touching a ground point. Once your dog receives the correction, pull him back from the boundary and praise him. Give treats if you want to make your training better. Hopefully your dog will be understanding of the boundary after just a few times, but of course some dogs are more stubborn than others. Take off the leash when you feel that he understands about the fence. Keep an eye on him until you know that he will stay in the fence. You can use the same method for indoor fences.

Wireless dog fence is a great new thing today, and is good for dog owners as an affordable fence for their dog. While there is possibly no perfect solution to keeping our dogs safe and contained, today’s inventions such as the wireless dog fence are coming very close!
