An invisible dog fence is a wire buried around your property making sure the dog does not go beyond the safety of its home. Additionally, It also helps dog owners make sure that their dogs cannot do any inadvertent damage to other people's property.

Electric dog fences are pretty simple. The wire carries a signal transmitted from a small unit. The dog wears a special collar which receives an electrical shock if it goes near the wire or crosses the fence. More precisely, these electrical signals are usually zoned. When the dog gets into a 'warning zone' anywhere near the wire, it will hear a warning 'beep' from his collar. If it gets even closer, it will receive a buzz from a small electrical impulse via the collar. These fences are easily adjustable and can be set up to suit any dog and any layout defined by the owner, including the distances of both the warning and the correction zones. Additionally, the strength of the electrical impulse can be altered to suit the size and temperament of the dog.

This invisible fence can effectively keep dogs within the owner's property and also help them learn to know their boundaries. After getting a few shocks, the dog is automatically trained by the system to stay away from the boundaries of the property. Additionally, electronic dog fences are very practical in the fact that they don't take up any considerable property space. They are controlled by the collar the dog is wearing, and the predefined areas the dog is allowed to stay in.

What is great about electronic fences is the fact that they can be wired and programmed to protect almost any sensitive area of your home that is prone to the playful mischief of your energetic dog, such as gardens, swimming pools, driveways, fish ponds, flowerbeds and other sensitive areas. The only problem with these invisible fences is that it does not avoid other people or animals trespassing onto your property.

Dogs should always be safely contained so that they cannot be teased or injured by other animals or by children and so that they cannot escape. Invisible or electronic fence is one of the best alternatives, however, owners should also conduct a through research on each company and each do-it-yourself kit to make sure it fits their needs. Then, they should keep the collar in working order and supervise the dog while it is outside.
