Having to make sure your young dogs not run around the village or even just to your neighbors’ house can be a tad of work. It evens becomes more of a headache when they have started committing actual property damage, injured themselves, or, worst, attacked someone while outside. Putting up a fence may contain your pet as long as it is high enough, but it is a serious investment and will be most of the times permanent. Using a leash will not help the situation and may even choke your animal once he tries to escape. Thus, the remaining solution is to have a wireless pet containment system. This system is the best way to train your dog into playing in a wide expanse and stay. It is an effectively and safe method of containing your pet.
It Is an Invisible Fence
The best feature of the wireless pet containment system is convenience. Owners do not have to hire people to build a tall fence just to restrict the movements of their pets. That means more time to actually spend in training your dog.
The system works by using a transmitter to emit a radio signal around your house. The transmitter can be easily placed within your house, and the signal will still be strong enough to the range you would prefer. The range of the transmission will serve as the boundary that your dogs are allowed to roam. In effect, it serves as an invisible fence but is more effective.
Together with the transmitter, dog owners will also get a battery operated receiver and some boundary flags. Once the transmitter has been set, owners can go around the property while holding the receivers to check if they are near the boundaries. Once they are on a boundary zone, they can plant the flags to warn dogs that crossing forward would mean triggering the receiver.
About the Receiver
The receiver is placed around your dog’s neck much like a collar. The receiver constantly detects the presence of the radio signal and plays a sound when it senses that the boundary zone is close. If the wearer is in the boundary zone, the receiver will note the loss of signal and will set a mild static correction to the dog. Since the dog will feel it right away, instinct will make him go back to the place before he felt the static. Together with the boundary flags, the receiver will train your dog to keep his wandering activities only to your designated area.
Won’t Harm Your Pet
The static correction is very safe and will not injure your dog in any way. The sensitivity can even be adjusted from within the receiver to ensure that the dog will not feel inconvenienced by the static effect. As a precaution, though, only dogs over eight pounds can use the receiver so they will not be in any uneasy situation. As long as your pet can perform commands like sit or stay, they can be trained using the wireless pet containment system. After the training period, your dog can now control his actions and will not run to your neighbors’ properties anymore.
