Do you have a dog that loves to run around in places other than your property? Do you get calls and complaints from neighbors about the behavior of your dog? If you say yes to both, then the Petsafe radio fence is right for you. By using the system, you will be able to see a change in your dog’s behavior, especially with his attempts to wander off. If you need additional convincing, here are other reasons to let you grab the system:
Your dog will never be lost again. Part of the reason is that your dog would not be leaving either or at least without you permitting it. If you plan to use it that way, you can be assured that your dog will not attempt to cross the boundary flags. Another notable change would be the silence of your neighbors. They would stop complaining.
The system is easy to install. Because of the technology involved in the radio fence, setting up the entire system is actually quick. All you have to do is to look for a suitable place to position the transmitter. It should at least be a few feet from the ground and not close to any metal objects. Also, the controls are not confusing, and there are only two that you need to set. Setting the boundary flags is easy because of the receivers. In total, it will only take less than two hours to make the invisible fence.
It’s an invisible fence. Now it is not exactly the type that still bumps you even if there is nothing in front. There is basically no physical barrier to speak of. The fence is made of radio signals that are broadcasted in the center of the house. In fact, a more accurate description is a bubble. The play area would be a bubble created by radio signals. The point where the signals become weak is the boundary.
The receiver’s job is to monitor the signal. The designated area for your dog will be the part of the bubble where the signal is strong. When the dog crosses the boundary, the signal drops, causing the receiver to sound an alarm and then deliver a mild static correction.
The static correction is safe. It is emphasized that the correction is mild; there is discomfort, but it does not last long. All in all, the receiver is safe and doesn’t cause any medical or emotional issues to the dogs. The correction is not for punishment but as a form of reminder for the dog to go back to the play area. The level of correction is also adjusted to fit the size of your dog and to his sensitivity. Also, the receiver is only for dogs that weigh nine pounds and above. They should be able to understand some commands as well.
It trains your dog. Though the system does a good job in containing dogs, the ultimate solution is to train them to remain in place. The system provides you with a daily manual on how to guide your dogs in the next two weeks of training. It involves familiarization and association of the boundary flags and receiver alarm. Ultimately, it will end with your dog feeling comfortable staying in a designated area even without the receiver.
