Wireless pet containment fences were developed as a solution for dog owners who had trouble keeping their dogs contained within a certain area. They have some advantages over traditional fences, for example, your dog can’t jump over them or dig a hole to go under it, which sometimes resulted in a stuck or injured dog.
A wireless pet containment fence comes with a transmitter that emits radio signals at 17,5 KHz. It also includes a light-weight receiver collar worn on the dog’s neck, 50 training flags and an instructional booklet that aids in training the pet. 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. The receiver can then identify how close the dog is to the wireless fence, and it will beep if the dog comes clost to it. 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.
The installation of a wireless pet containment fence is simple. The DVD and the manual that comes with the fence will tell you all you need to know. These fences now come in different designs and models so it’s important that the owners make the right choice before making a purchase.
Tips for Selecting a Wireless Pet Containment Fence
First of all, the collar with the receiver should fit the dog’s neck comfortably, yet not too loose that the dog misses the correction. The radius of operation should match and cover completely the area where you want your dog to be contained. If you need coverage for an unusually large area, you can always buy an extra transmitter.
As mentioned before, an instructional booklet or DVD explaining the operation of the wireless pet containment fence you purchase is very much essential since this would clarify everything including installation and training to the management of the pet. Because of this, never buy a product without instructions.
A wireless pet containment fence can help you keep your dog in your property without the use of a leash. They come with a DVD and booklet with instructions. Reading and/or watching the instructions is essential to getting good results with your wireless pet containment fence.
