Suggestions in Dog Containment

By Colin Seal


Traditional dog containment is slowly losing its acceptance and wireless, invisible or underground fencing systems have become more preferred by pet owners due to safety factors and the economy. The wires are buried underneath the ground round the borders of your home while your pet is fitted with a collar that sends a correction or static heartbeat when it approaches the defined perimeter.

Benefits of this Approach

- The wireless dog containment system is cheap compared to the conventional wooden or concrete structures.
- All you have got to do is to submerge the wires from one to six inches below the surface. You don't have to purchase materials or hire many workers to build the fence.
- Many dogs learn to distinguish and understand the bounds in one month. You just have to train the dog properly so it can forestall the animal from running away.
- The wireless system is definitely invisible so the landscape, garden and the stunning front view of your place are not deformed.
- It can be prepared in such a way that you can create no-dog areas in your property. These are the areas that you want to be out of bounds to animals.

Disadvantages of Using this Modern Invention

- Some dogs are literally capable of breaching the fence due to their dominant prey instincts. This will comprise stronger levels of correction for dogs that steadily violating the boundary.
- You will be notified of any break but it is kind of tricky and time-consuming to find the damaged wire. Once it is exposed, you want to repair and bury it again.
- It's vital to install the wireless fence rigorously. Unburied wires are at risk when a break occurs.

Useful Tips for Dog Owners

- It's critical to observe the lifespan of batteries every six months and replace when necessary.
- The collar should be fitted round the dog's neck brilliantly so it does not accidentally fall off.
- The perimeter fence should be far from the dog house.
- You want to hang around for at least 3 months before start training your baby dog. Your pet must be capable of walking on a harness and understand elemental commands such as sit down, stay or continue. Beginning prematurely is not desirable.
- Never leave your dog alone regardless of if has been trained successfully.

The dog containment system is an efficient and modern mechanism. However, be sure to follow the above pointers in order not to waste time, effort and money in canine training.
