Many a times we see that there are posters and advertisements given on the Television and various other sources that there is a clearance sale for particular products. Many people feel that the products or the articles sold in the clearance sale may or may not be good, but this is absolutely a wrong thinking. The articles and products sold on the final clearance sales are also absolutely beautiful and good. Some of the final clearance articles on sale these days are the dog accessories. While I was going through the internet to collect the information about the latest dog accessories, then I also came across that there is a final clearance sale on many dog products. After I gathered some more details I decided that I will place an order for the Blue Bell Designer Dress and Hair Bow for my little princess puppy. She would really look lovely in this dress. I did not want to miss the opportunity to buy this dress because it was mentioned that there are dresses in limited quantity of this particular design.

I always wanted something unique for my little princess and I try that what ever I buy for her should be praised and appreciated by one and all and she should be the center of attraction always. In fact I have so many articles and toys for her and all are unique and beautiful. She is my only companion in this world as I have no one else in my life and so I always pamper her as if she is my child and obviously if I had one I would pamper her also like my sweet little princess. Just the day after I received this fabulous Blue Bell Designer Dress, I had to attend my friends’ daughter’s wedding. So I dressed my sweet little princess with this beautiful attire. This dress was in a pastel blue color designed with a chiffon style skirt elegantly spread over the surface additionally decorated with flower pointing with the delicate bright material. The collar was placed with three flower rosettes which gave an elegant and a decent look which was further lined with matching satin ribbon with a complete perfection to look more beautiful. An adjustable Velcro finishing was given for the ease and a satin ribbon was given which could be tied around the tummy. The main attraction of the dress was the satin bow which was decorated very stylishly. Moreover this bow was sewn and not glued to the dress. The material used to complete this dress was of good quality and I was the happiest person to see my lovely princess dressed in a stylish way. She had indeed become the center of attraction that day when she was walking in a well-dressed manner with me. I had also bought a matching pair of shoes for her and also a beautiful cap which was also blue in color and my charming princess even won the prize because she was the only one dressed so beautifully.

Wouldn’t it be great if you didn’t have to keep your dog tied all the time when he’s outdoors? Wouldn’t you just love it if you could rely on your dog to stay within the boundaries of your property, and not go chasing after, other dogs, cats, cyclists, pedestrians or even cars?  Wouldn’t it be such a load off your mind if you could let your dog roam free in your front yard without having to worry about him using your neighbor’s yard as a toilet or even destroying your neighbors prized flowers?  The electronic dog fence is just the high tech device that can make those once impossible concepts a reality.   

Unlike a physical fence which is often unsightly and expensive to set up, an electronic fence can be made virtually invisible.  Your dog can be kept within the boundaries of your property without a chain or a physical barrier to hold him back; what’s more, you can even use an electronic fence to mark off areas in your own home that you don’t want your dog to go near, like maybe your wife’s prized flower beds.  The system works by delivering a mild, non-harmful electric shock to a dog whenever a dog gets too near a place where he shouldn’t be.

Here’s how it works: 

1. Wiring your home – The closest thing this system has to a physical fence is a series of thin antenna wires, the wires can be buried or concealed around the perimeter of your property, and in any other place that you would like to be off limits to your dog.  The wires are small, unobtrusive and can be buried, or installed virtually anywhere with simple fittings you can find at hardware stores.
2. The collar- The second hardware component is the electronic collar, you fasten it around the dog’s neck like a regular collar.  The collar detects the antenna wires, and if a dog gets too close to an area were an antenna has been installed, first he will hear a high frequency beeping noise warning him that he is too close to an area that is off limits to him.  If the dog continues to approach the area, the collar will deliver a mild, non-harmful electric shock.
3. Training your dog- The system is extremely useful, particularly for training your dog.  Dogs have the capacity to learn from experience and can pick up rules provided they are laid down consistently enough.  That being said, it is important that you never change the location of the wires you lay out, this will confuse a dog an cause anxiety or depression.  After just a few unpleasant but non-harmful shocks, your dog will get the hang of the system, and the audible warning will save him from more shocks.    

You can actually help the system along with the use of flags, the flags should be uniform and should be placed at the eye level of the dog.  After a while the flags can be done away with.  There are those that have an objection to the use of electric shocks, but the alternative is to keep your dog caged or tied for long periods of time.  Ultimately, it could be argued that an occasional electric shock is far more humane than long hours of confinement.  If you believe that, then the electronic dog fence could be just what you are looking for.
