Wireless Fence - Is It Safe For Pet Dogs?

You need to be careful because not all wireless fence products are safe. There are some products manufactured in China and other places which I wouldn't buy. One problem is that interference from other devices could trigger them to go off. Many of these cheap imported electronic products don't use up-to-date technology in their design or manufacture, and this usually means they do not work as intended which means they may harm my pet dog.

Having said that, branded wireless fence products like PetSafe or Innotek are perfectly safe because they are designed and manufactured by trustworthy companies who produce top quality products. Just be sure you read the instructions carefully. PetSafe and Innotek have both developed a wireless fence which can be used indoors or outdoors.

A wireless fence will ensure your dog is not able to jump over your fence or to dig under it. It is probably the cheapest way of solving this problem. If you don't get a wireless fence, the other thing you can do is install a new six foot high fence and this is a very expensive alternative solution. Even if you did install a new fence, it still might not be the answer to your problem because your dog could still burrow underneath it.

You will find that all the training material which comes with a PetSafe wireless fence is very good and very thorough. The training covers a fourteen day period and leaves no stone unturned. The training includes three main stages, which are flag awareness, coping with distractions and unleashed supervision. The distraction part of the training is one of the keys to the success of a wireless fence, as you can train your dog to ignore things happening on the other side of the fence.

To train and to test the training in the distraction phase can include putting a hot dog on the floor or have a family member walk past, it takes a few days for your dog to learn but it is surprising at how quick it picks up what it can and cannot do. This distraction part of the training shows how effective a wireless fence is.
