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?\u00a0 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?\u00a0 The electronic dog fence is just the high tech device that can make those once impossible concepts a reality.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Unlike a physical fence which is often unsightly and expensive to set up, an electronic fence can be made virtually invisible.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n

Here’s how it works:\u00a0<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Wiring your home \u2013 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.\u00a0 The wires are small, unobtrusive and can be buried, or installed virtually anywhere with simple fittings you can find at hardware stores.<\/li>\n
  2. The collar- The second hardware component is the electronic collar, you fasten it around the dog’s neck like a regular collar.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 If the dog continues to approach the area, the collar will deliver a mild, non-harmful electric shock.<\/li>\n
  3. Training your dog- The system is extremely useful, particularly for training your dog.\u00a0 Dogs have the capacity to learn from experience and can pick up rules provided they are laid down consistently enough.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    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.\u00a0 After a while the flags can be done away with.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 Ultimately, it could be argued that an occasional electric shock is far more humane than long hours of confinement.\u00a0 If you believe that, then the electronic dog fence could be just what you are looking for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
