by Sharon Dairenemin

If you are looking for a safe and very effective way to train your dog to stay in your own yard, consider the wireless fence. With this system, you can avoid the unattractive appearance of some fenced yards and let your pet enjoy the scenery. The best and easiest way of dog training today, wireless fence is very new. Wireless fence is made up from a transmitter box and receiver collars that help your dog know where he’s supposed to be. You can program the wireless fence to have your dog stay away from other yards, the road, and your gardens, just keep in mind with wireless the area covered will generally be circular.

Before you begin the training process, it’s best to familiarize your dog with the area in which you will restrict him. A good idea to do this is placing colored flags at his boundary limits. This will help your dog visually note the area. The use of voice commands will also be very useful as cues when teaching your dog about the area limitations.

After several days, you should have given your dog a good idea of the area in which he is free to roam. While this training is underway, you can put the collar on your dog to give him the feel of it. Once the first part of the training is completed, you will connect the transmitter that accompanies the system. The transmitter broadcasts a signal where your dog’s boundaries are not. The collar is set to pick up this signal should your dog stray into the frequency field.

If your dog comes into the place that has the signal going through it, the collar will pick it up and make a warning noise. This warning will increase in intensity until it is able to force the retreat of your pet from the out of bounds territory. If it can’t, a static shock is added. The warning is only a warning and won’t hurt him. It is a way to deliver negative reinforcement as a training method. The dog will quickly realize when and why the tone and static shock is happening and will identify the colored flags, the tone, the static shock, and the training as being the same thing. It will not be long before he stays well inside his allotted area. Wireless fence does not lessen his playfulness but does eliminate the use of chains, leashes, and fences.

This method of training will work for multiple dogs on the same property as long as they are wearing one of the wireless fence collars. These collars will all be capable of picking up the transmitted signal frequency from the transmitter. The equipment for these wireless fences is easy to install. There are no holes to dig. There is no wires or fences anywhere in this wireless fence making. Wireless fences need no fixing at all. You need only replace the transmitter box or receiver collar when necessary.

There are several brands of wireless fences and collars that are on the market today. You can control your pet safely and humanely using one of these systems. Many dogs can handle using the collar without any batteries. They will still stay in their yard because they know where they are supposed to be.
