What Does a Wireless Pet Containment Fence Do?

Wireless pet containment fences were developed as a solution for dog owners who had trouble keeping their dogs contained within a certain area. Unlike other types of fences, dogs can’t jump over wireless pet containment fences or dig under them, which doesn’t result in an escape, damagaged property, or an injured dog.

A wireless pet containment fence works by using a remote transmitter that sends singal waves at 17,5 Kilo Hertz. Other parts of the set include a collar that is worn comforably by the dog, 50 training flags that help the dog locate the boundaries of its designated area, and an instructions booklet. The transmitter is plugged into a normal house current outled and it will emit the radio signals that the receiver in the collar will detect. Using the radio signals, the collar can detect when the dog comes close to the fence, in which case it will emit a warning sound. If the dog tries to leave the assigned area, the collar will then deliver a mild static electricity shock that will deter it from leaving.

Installing a wireless pet containment fence is quite simple. The DVD and the manual that comes with the fence will tell you all you need to know. For best results, dog owners should research the several advantages and disadvantages of models before making a decision.

Tips to Choosing a Wireless Pet Containment Fence

The collar that comes with the system should be comfortable to wear and able to resist bad weather and rought treatment. The radius of operation should match and cover completely the area where you want your dog to be contained. Installation of an additional transmitter can pacify the requirement of big areas.

The DVD and the instruction manual that come with the set not only explain how to set up the system correctly, they also actually tell you how to slowly get your dog used to the wireless fence. For this reason, it’s suggested that you make sure the product you choose to buy comes with clear, concise directions.
