Wireless Dog
Fence
If you've ever
found yourself driving around your neighborhood, calling out the
window for the family dog, you've probably thought about pet
containment systems! There are many reasons for using pet
containment systems, including health and reproductive issues, leash
laws, housing covenants, and good old neighborly courtesy. While
there are many conventional options such as wooden, rail, or chain
link fences, one of the newer and increasingly popular alternatives
is an underground or Wireless Dog Fence.
The underground
or Wireless Dog Fence is a combination of training, technology, and
electronics. Let’s see about the history, components, comparative
cost, benefits and cautions of underground Wireless Dog Fence, so
that you and your family will be informed consumers when looking at
these systems!
While the exact
date of its origin is unclear, the underground or Wireless Dog Fence
industry started to gain momentum in the early 1970s. Each brand of
underground or Wireless Dog Fence has its own history and
interesting story. The industry originally began as a way of both
protecting pets and making image-concerned owners happy and has
become a wildly popular in recent years. Today's larger, underground
or Wireless Dog Fence companies have grown through professional
resellers and distributors located across the
country.
Underground or
Wireless Dog Fence are intended to be a correction deterrent to your
pet, not a punishment. Many of the more popular systems are endorsed
by national humane societies and animal organizations such as the
Humane Society of the US, the ASPCA, vets, vet publications, animal
behaviorists, and major university veterinary schools.
Wireless Dog
Fence is a solar-powered transmitter that emits a circular signal
field. It is linked via a unique radio signal to the receiver in the
collar worn by your dog. The area within the circle is the 'safe
area' where your dog is free to roam. If your dog tries to venture
outside this circle he receives a tone followed by a harmless
correction stimulus, reminding him to retreat to the safe zone. You
may think this kind of correction is harsh, we know, even we were
reluctant at first - but it doesn't hurt your dog (we've tried it
our self). Secondly it is a pretty humane solution, especially when
you consider the alternatives. Wireless Dog Fence is very easy to
install and it shouldn't take more than 5 minutes. It is portable so
it can be taken along on family camping trips or other outings.
Although
Wireless Dog Fence unit is solar powered it contains a back-up
battery to power it during periods of reduced sunlight. For example,
the Innotek Smart Dog Solar-Powered Wireless Dog Fence provides 8000
square feet (100' diameter) of dog containment area. Other features:
3-volt lithium battery operated water-resistant collar receiver.
Includes boundary training flags and two sets of collar
probes!
As suburbs
continue to pop up around cities and as more neighborhoods and
subdivisions are formed, so too are restrictions. Many homeowners
associations have policies that restrict the type, size, and
existence of any Wireless Dog Fence system. At the same time these
associations also restrict the freedom of pets. Underground or
Wireless Dog Fence makes the association and the homeowner happy.
The homeowner is able to contain the family pet and the association
is happy because there isn't the visual clutter of conventional
fences. Even without restrictive covenants, you may still choose
underground or wireless pet fences because of aesthetic
appeal.
