There are plenty of ways to keep a dog confined to a certain area, but each method seems to come with its draw backs. For example, you could build a traditional dog fence around your lawn or property. However, this is generally rather expensive, and it is extremely time consuming as well, especially for those that have a very large yard. And on top of that, if you do not own your own land, and you rent, then there is a very good chance that your land lord would never even consider letting you put a fence around the property that you live on.
So what about chaining your dog to a tree, or using a "dog run" (which is basically just a longer chain when you think about it). While people use to do this sort of thing on a regular basis, the general theory nowadays seems to be that this is very inhuman for a dog, which it sort of is in a way. Just think about how boring life would be for you if you could only move back and forth just a few feet, and you were confined to the same tiny area day in and day out?
Wireless dog fences are also known as instant fences. This type of dog fence uses either single or multiple transmitters that produce radio signals that are picked up by the collar worn by your dog. Wireless dog fences can be used either inside the home or outside the home.
As your dog approaches the boundaries that have been established, he will hear a specific beeping sound. If he continues to get closer, he will feel a mild static shock. Many dog owners use this type of dog fence to quickly train their dogs to stay within a "safe" zone.
So now that we have gone over the benefits of these fences (which are worth their weight in gold in all honesty), lets go over some of the bad things about them as well. For starters, if a dog gets excited enough, for example, if they see a small animal run by, then they can actually force themselves to run out of the fence's perimeter, ignoring the pain of the shock. This is a pretty bad scenario, because once the dog is out of the fence, they will be afraid to go back in, for fear of being shocked when they pass through the boundaries of the fence.
With these corrections come small electric pulses that will get the dogs attention and teach him that what he did was wrong. As long as your dog listens to the electronic or electrical signs there will be no problems at all using the wireless electric dog fence for many years to come.
An electric fence wire is buried under the ground, surrounding the perimeter of the area in which you'd like your dog confined. It is similar to the invisible dog fence in that your dog is outfitted with a special collar that contains a receiver. The difference is that when your dog gets too close to the perimeter of the area that is fenced off, he will hear a loud beep or tone. As he gets closer and closer, the sound will change in frequency. Eventually, he will learn to return to the safety of his yard. If for some reason your dog does go across the electric wire, he will receive a "correction".
Invisible dog fences are also known as hidden fences. This type of dog fence is ideal for those homeowners who may not, due to zoning restrictions, be permitted to erect a fence around their property. Invisible dog fences are also the perfect choice for those who prefer not to see any fence whatsoever around their home or yard, but still desire to safely confine their dog.
