The need to fence dogs has existed for several years now. That is because, under law, an owner is liable for anything that the dog does in or outside his property. Inside the property, the dog can be controlled or will follow the orders of its owner, but it can be difficult to do that if the dog manages to escape.
If a dog injures someone or another dog outside the property, the owner can still be liable for the actions of his pet. This can cause the owner to pay a lot of money for the compensation of injuries that the victim receives from the canine.
Physical Fences Were the Norm
In the old days, people had to erect physical barriers in which the dog can visually identify as the boundary of its “freedom.” A dog trained well in fences will ultimately learn to keep himself inside the definitions of your territory, so he doesn’t do anyone or even itself any harm.
Physical barriers, however, can be weak. Dogs can leap over short fences with ease; thus some people go to the extent of erecting fences with heights that the dog cannot reach. This can sometimes give the appearance of a fortress rather than a home of a friendly neighborhood family.
Innovations in Fence Technology
Some scientists and inventors associated with consumer electronics manufacturers have come up with a new way of keeping the canines within your property without the need to put up a fence. This new way has also been effective in eliminating the worry that your fencing is too short that a dog can easily climb over it to go outside.
This new technology is the wireless dog fence. As its name suggests, it doesn’t use any collars, chains, or wires of any sort. All it uses is a wireless transmitter and a receiver collar in the dog’s neck. The transmitter measures the distance of the dog from the house from sending electronic signals to the receiver, and if the dog exceeds the maximum allowable distance, it sends a stimulation to remind the dog not to walk too far.
Benefits of Using the Technology
This new technology has several unprecedented benefits that a dog owner can enjoy. First of all, dogs don’t have to be chained in or caged. This can boost the emotional state that a dog has, since dogs excessively restrained can be moody, brooding, and even angry. With this new technology, the dog can walk around free until it walks too far from the house, that is.
Second, of course, is the absence of the need to construct a physical fence. Hiring skilled workers to do that can be expensive, and on top of that, you have the buy the materials needed to do such a task. With a wireless dog fence, however, all you need to do is just plug in the wireless transmitter to a dedicated 110V outlet, and you’re all set to start enjoying the “discipline” these fences give to your dogs.
