Do you want to keep your dog in your yard without a fence? Is your dog an escape artist? Do you enjoy traveling with your dog? Would you like to own an underground dog fence, but don't have time to spend on installation? Do you have certain areas in your home which you would like to be off limits to your dog? A wireless dog fence might be a good option for you if you answer positively to any of these questions.



Wireless dog fences are becoming very popular nowadays. Purchasing a wireless dog fence is a good option for budget conscious dog owners who need an effective solution to a nearly universal dog owner problem. Do you want your dog to be safely contained but to be able to exercise too? This is the thing for you! A wireless dog fence is safe for your dog, doesn't put you into danger of bankruptcy, and doesn't take but a few minutes to install. It is much cheaper than building a traditional fence, and does not obstruct your view or give your yard an unsightly appearance like a fence can. Some wireless dog fences are also available for use inside the home as well as outside, giving you the ability to allow your dog some freedom inside your home while still controlling his boundaries. Unlike other fences, wireless dog fences are portable. This makes them wonderful for use while traveling, and are especially useful and popular for hunting and camping trips. If physical fencing doesn't keep your dog in, adding a static correction will keep them from even challenging the physical fence. With training, your dog will learn that the fence boundary itself is to be respected because the wireless dog fence can be set up within it.

A wireless dog fence does have a few priorities. The most important is that you need to get your fence from a good company. The best ones are Petsafe, Innotek, and Perimeter. Your transmitter needs to be appropriate for your dog's weight. Another transmitter may be better than one if you need a larger area. A wireless dog fence may not be the right choice for you if your yard is sloped. And you should definitely choose a model that has adjustable correction levels, so that you can personalize the training program for your particular dog.

Once you have purchased and have your wireless dog fence in hand, it should only take a few minutes to install using the instruction manual which will be included. Your home and your garage are both a good place to put the transmitter where it will not get rained on! You can then place the wireless dog fence collar on your dog and begin training him; do not neglect this essential part of the process.

Training your dog to respect the boundaries of your new wireless dog fence usually takes a few weeks, but the time period greatly depends on each individual dog. Persistence and consistency in training will pay off. You should always supervise your dog for the initial period after the installation of your wireless dog fence. Flags would be a good idea to show your pup where he's supposed to be. Keep him on a leash at first, and set the correction level on his collar to the minimal level. Then follow him on the leash, allowing him to explore until he reaches the boundary and receives a mild shock. This shock is very humane and is not designed to harm your dog, but just to get his attention. It is similar to the shock you receive from the carpet when you rub your feet on it. Pull back and praise your dog after they receive the shock. You can also give treats at first to reinforce your training. Hopefully your dog will be understanding of the boundary after just a few times, but of course some dogs are more stubborn than others. He will eventually learn, however, and then you will be able to remove the leash. Keep an eye on him until you know that he will stay in the fence. You can use the same method for indoor fences.

A wireless dog fence is an exciting new product in today's modern society, and is worth considering by dog owners as an affordable and effective option. While there is possibly no perfect solution to keeping our dogs safe and contained, today's inventions such as the wireless dog fence are coming very close!
