Wireless pet containment fences were proposed by manufacturers as a solution for dog owners who wish to contain their animals in a part of their property without using a leash. 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. 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. Once the transmitter is plugged into an outlet at home, it starts emitting radio signals which are in turn interspersed by the receiver. 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.
It’s not difficult at all to install a wireless pet containment fence. With the help of instructions given in a booklet or DVD, owners can set everything up themselves. 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
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 coverage area should be big enough to cover the area that you want to assign to your dog. If you need coverage for an unusually large area, you can always buy an extra transmitter.
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. 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.
