Invisible Dog Fence

An invisible dog fence is the modern way to keep your dog on a short leash and keep your property looking great. In the past, if you had a pet, you either had two choices – keep it locked up inside or have a fence to keep it from running loose. A fence is difficult to install and completely changes the look of your property. For many homeowners, the open landscape is an appealing looking to a home and allows them to more greatly appreciate their gardens and lawns. Putting a fence up, immediately destroys this effect and simply blocks one’s view of everything that is on one’s property. Additionally, an actual fence is just simply not very inviting to look at for yourself or for others.

These products are therefore the simple answer to a pressing problem of securing your home for your pet and creating the look and feel for your home that you’ve always wanted. They allow you to have a clean and open yard without any visual hindrances. Moreover, they don’t require the maintenance that a standard fence would such as painting and other upkeep. Also, they are going to most likely be cheaper to purchase and install then a standard fence as well.

How do they work? These devices work quite simply. They are composed of three main parts that all work to keep your pet safely, and in many cases legally, on your property. Inside your home a transmitter emits a radio signal to a system of wires that set up a boundary around your lawn. This can be set up anywhere and is much easier to install than a normal fence. Your pet wears a color that will detect these radio signals and when your pet comes to close to the boundary and series of reminders will keep them from passing over the boundary. Usually this will take the form of a simple beep as they approach and as they get too close a mild shock. This shock doesn’t hurt your pet, but it will definitely get their attention.

These fences are not complete barriers it should be noted. They are training tools used by pet owners to build up the sense of space of their pet rather than actually keep them in bounds. If your pet really wanted to, it could cross the boundary and run off. This of course would take them further from the transmitter, meaning that any reminders to stay in bounds would stop.
