subject: Basic Principles Of Wireless And Electric Dog Fence Systems [print this page] The fundamental elements of invisible dog fencing systems whether they are electronic or wireless, are quite similar. They both include a receiver training collar that your pet wears, and a transmitter that transmits a signal out to the receiver. In some way or another, you are able to set the range of the system. With the electric system, wire is hidden surrounding the perimeter of the area to be protected. A wireless variation is a lot easier. Just set the range on the transmitter.
That establishes a boundary for your puppy in which the receiver delivers correction any time the boundary is neared or surpassed. The invisible dog fence transmitter can initially transmit an audio signal that your pup is able to hear letting your pet know that he has gone beyond the boundary. If the tone is disregarded then the tone is followed by the static correction, generally known as the "shock." These types of systems do have a security feature that ceases the static correction after a short period of time, should your pet becomes stuck on the wrong side of the boundary.
The fundamental function of most canine containment products is the same. After the boundary is determined, it is essential to use correct methods of training to keep your four-legged friend contained inside the specified boundary. All of the top quality fences come with first-class training instructions, and several actually come with a training DVD. A few of the benefits of each type of system are listed here:
A wireless pet fence is a great transportable method to contain your furry friend. They are wonderful to bring along with you anywhere you decide to go. They are also fantastic for home use. They protect a good size area with a single transmitter on it's own, but more transmitters are necessary to protect larger areas.
The electronic pet containment system uses hidden wire buried surrounding the border of the area to be contained. They are wonderful for use at home, and by purchasing extra wire, most can protect up to 25 acres sometimes more on one transmitter only. The majority come ready to protect 1/3 to 1/2 acre. They are usually more affordable than the wireless models, but your particular requirements will help you decide which is better for you and your furry friend.
With an invisible dog fence appropriate training is a critical component to the effective and safe utilization of these types of products. I am a big promoter of employing correct training methods for your pet, and recommend you comprehend the instruction required before selecting one of these products.
