Dogs love to run around and as far as they want. Since this is a common issue with untrained dogs, there is a possibility that they will wreak havoc on your neighbor’s lawns and might even scare some folks. Currently, there are only a few options in keeping your dogs from running around outside your property. One is the leash, which causes injuries on the neck and basically prevents your dog from other movements.
The other is put up a tall fence that will discourage them from jumping over. Putting up a tall fence will only cost a lot and cover up your house. Hence, the best choice would be to acquire a Petsafe radio system.
Its advantages certainly outnumber any problems it may have, which is why many owners wanting to train their dogs are happy with their investment. Here are some reasons why:
You have an invisible fence. Using radio signals, the transmitter places a property inside an unseen bubble meant to train and contain your dog. Dogs can happily run around your property as long they do not get past the boundary set. The only things that will remind the dogs they are near the boundary are warning flags and an alarm that comes out of their receivers.
It has safe receivers. Unlike leashes that can injure or suffocate dogs, the receiver only delivers mild static correction to the dogs. What they feel will automatically go away once they get back within the boundary. The static can also be adjusted, so the very sensitive dogs can still be trained with the system. After several sessions, dogs will realize that they should not get past the warning sound, so they won’t feel any discomfort. They also remain just a discomfort and will not traumatize or leave any physical injuries to whoever is wearing the receiver on the neck.
It works on multiple dogs. Since the transmitter basically broadcasts using radio signals, it does not matter whether an owner uses one or five receivers. The signal will not get reduced just because there are many dogs relying on the system. To understand this, it is necessary to understand real radios: even if two radio players were tuning in at the same station, the signal will be the same as if there is only one radio playing. In theory, the transmitter can handle hundreds of receivers, but it is advised to keep the number to five or less to provide proper training to each dog.
It saves money in the long run. Though many new users might get a sticker shock when looking at the prices, it is less arguable when you factor in the costs that you will save because of the Petsafe radio fence system. The savings come from the possible vet clinic consultations of your dogs after getting injured and hospitalization of people, who your dog may have accidentally injured. Then you are most likely to pay damage to property as well. Putting up a fence requires manual labor and a huge set of materials because it will have to surround the property. Moreover, it’s going to be a permanent fixture and cannot be removed unlike the Petsafe radio fence system.
