The good news is that the answer is yes – a wireless fence really does work! If you are a dog owner and has a dog that likes to escape from the confinement of your back yard, then you understand the problems of keeping him within the boundary of your home. What are the alternative options to a wireless fence, they are to chain your dog up all the time or have a new fence errected
There are a couple of different types of wireless fence, you can get one for inside your house and one for the yard. Click here to read about how a wireless fence works.
Both the PetSafe and Innotek wireless fence takes into account the temperament of your dog when training it to stay within the boundary of your yard. Should your pet dog get to close to the fence the collar will deliver a light static correction. The first correction will deter many pets but some will keep going. For this reason, the PetSafe wireless fence has six levels of static shock. Therefore if the first level has no effect, you can increase the setting to level two. The levels can be adjusted up to and including level six.
Because of this feature, the invisible dog fence will handle all dog characters from the mild to the stubborn. Dogs are extremely intelligent and learn very fast, they soon realize that when they get to close to boundary flags, they will get a static shock from the wireless fence.
The wireless fence is based on proven dog training methods. The three principles of dog training are timing, consistency and negative correction. The first rule is time or timing, as soon as your dog crosses the boundary it needs an instant response. Your dog must receive a negative correction every time it tries to cross the boundary, this re-enforces the training and will shorten the training time, the negative motivation then ensures your dog is paying attention puts him off from crossing the line.
A bitch trains her pups by nibbling their neck should they do anything to displease her. The static correction works the same way; it nips your dog’s neck when it tries to cross the boundary of the wireless fence.
You should also be aware that in very few cases a wireless fence may not work for your dog. This very unlikely but it can happen.
