Wireless fencing can give many benefits to the dog owner. Have you ever wanted to keep your dog with you, without using a fence? Does your dog have a problem with digging under your current fence? 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? Are there some rooms in your house where your dog should not be? If your answer to any of these questions is “yes,” you may want to consider the advantages of a wireless dog fence.

Underground fence is 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. It will give your dog plenty of freedom to run and play, while at the same time keeping him safe, secure, and well behaved. 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. You can’t see it and no one knows it’s there except you and your dog.

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. You can even teach your dog to respect your physical fence if they are consistently kept within it, but most dogs learn it’s the collar they need to respect.

When choosing a wireless dog fence for your dog, keep in mind a few important details. We always recommend that you purchase your system from a reputable manufacturer with a good warranty, for peace of mind right from the start. The best ones are Petsafe, Innotek, and Perimeter. Your transmitter needs to be appropriate for your dog’s weight. Also, you may want to consider purchasing an additional transmitter which can be used to enlarge the area. A wireless dog fence may not be the right choice for you if your yard is sloped. And we strongly recommend that you should buy a model that can be adjusted to several correction levels.

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. Consistency and persistence in training will pay off. Watch your dog closely for the first few times you use the fence. You can also place flags to mark the boundaries and use them to show your dog where he is allowed to be. Make sure you have a leash on hand, because you will need it for your first few times. Also, you need to turn the correction level to the lowest point. Put the leash on him and walk around with him until he gets shocked when you come to the boundary. This shock is very humane and is not designed to harm your dog, but just to get his attention. The static shock is similar to discharge you get after rubbing your feet on the carpet and touching a ground point. Pull back and praise your dog after they receive the shock.

You can also give treats at first to reinforce your training. Your dog may learn to respect the boundary within one or two times, or it may take a bit longer for him to understand. 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. The method for training a dog to an radio dog fence is very similar.

Wireless dog fence is a great new thing today, and is good for dog owners as an affordable fence for their dog. 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!
