How Electronic Dog Fences Work

Many owner are worried when their dog leaves and they are forced to look for it

. Dogs can sometimes wander too far off, and get hurt. The worst part is that some don't come back at all. One effective way of keeping your dog at home, while giving him room to roam, is to install a dog fence. Some pet owners are sceptical about this kind of pet containment system, so here's more info on the matter to help you decide.

The fence is not visible to the naked eye

The principle behind setting up an electronic dog fence is to prevent your dog from leaving the area. The same effect of keeping the dog inside boundaries is also possible with the traditional physical fence. You would have to have the fences themselves installed in the surrounding area. Even if you set it up to be electrically charged, that's impractical in urban settings - not to mention dangerous.

The solution is to have an electronic fence installed. This set up can work in several ways. Many electric fence set ups simply involve a wired buried in the ground surrounding a designated space, say your front lawn. Every time the dog approaches the boundaries, a distinguishable tone is heard, a warning. If the dog ignores the warning and continues to move past the boundaries, it receives a corrective shock. So, over time, even though there's no physical barrier fencing it in, the dog learns to stay in the designated area.

Other pet containment systems also work in the same way. One way is to use radio signals sent from a central device. When the dog leaves a specified radius, the collar it wears sends out a warning, and later on a shock. Another way is to rely for marking the area and tracking the dog on the Global Positioning System. Both methods avoid having to bury wires around a designated area.

Aesthetics - reclaimed space, minimally disturbed soil

For some people who are only renting, putting up physical fences may not be allowed. And then there are area where ordinances prevent the same installation. The work-around, to protect your dog, is to install electronic dog fences. You don't have to ruin the landscape of your home with such a fence, and neither will your dog look like it's hemmed in. Your dog can run around without its view partially hidden by anything.

An dog fence effectively deters your dog from leaving your premises.
