How do electric dog fencing solutions work?

Some pet owners may worry that using a static shock collar on their dog could be harmful – however, these collars offer various correction settings, such as an audible beep, vibration, or static correction. Research has shown that these shock collars can be an effective way to correct unwanted behaviours in dogs. The static correction is typically perceived by dogs as a mild, surprising stimulus rather than a pain.

Electric dog fences work by using collars that pick up radio signal frequency emitted from the transmitter box . As your dog approaches the boundary, the collar emits an audible warning followed by a vibration and if your dog continues forward toward the fence, the collar will deliver a static correction until your dog moves back to the designated safe area. The intensity of the shock is adjustable, depending on your dog’s temperament.

Once you’ve installed the electric dog fence, it’s crucial to spend time training your dog to understand the boundaries. This process requires consistency, positive reinforcement, and patience. Start by walking your dog on a leash near the flagged boundary line. When the collar emits the audible warning sound, immediately stop and take a step back, call your dog to come to your side, have them sit, and then reward them with a treat for listening and moving away from the boundary. After a few training sessions, your dog will learn to associate the sound with retreating into the safe area.

The flags provided are essential during the training phase, serving as a visual aid for both you and your dog. With repeated short training sessions, your dog will begin to understand that the warning sound signals the need to retreat back to the safe area.

If you do need to allow your dog to cross the boundary, you can either turn off the system or remove the collar. The best approach is to remove the collar and give a verbal command, as this clearly signals to your dog that they are free to cross the boundary. This approach reinforces the idea that crossing the boundary is only permitted under your direction, maintaining the integrity of the boundary training

Patience is key throughout this training process, as every dog learns at their own pace, but with time and positive reinforcement, your dog will learn to understand what areas are safe areas and what areas are out of bounds.

It also depends on what you are training your pet to do, the type of dog being trained and the trainer's skill. Your pet learns in small stages and its understanding is tested at each stage. On an average, it takes 10 minutes, twice a day for 2 weeks to train it to be comfortable with the electric dog fence (Please refer to the article in our Resource Library called Importance of Dog Fence Training)." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Do electric dog fences work?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "If you train your dog with the fence properly, electric dog fences have a great success rate.

For dogs that weigh or measure below this range, there are no collars available." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Can I use more than one receiver collar on the system?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes. There is no limit to the number of pets you can contain with the containment system. It’s as simple as purchasing an additional receiver collar for each pet. Please visit our store if you wish to buy additional collars." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Will the correction in the dog collar harm my pet when it crosses the electric fence boundary wire?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Never. The mild static correction is designed to get your pet’s attention by being undesirable enough to avoid the ‘out of bounds’ area while being totally safe, harmless and humane. The correction produces less energy than that produced by a static shock from carpeting." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Will it harm me or anyone else to walk cross the electric dog fence boundary wire?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "No, you will not be harmed.

To achieve this, you would need to place a long leash on it. Turn the system off, remove the collar and put it on the “sit” and “stay” command near the area that will become the gate. You walk out of the yard and ask it to follow." } } ] } { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "FAQPage", "mainEntity": [ { "@type": "Question", "name": "What is the dummy collar effect?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "This is a procedure where the collar is eliminated as a factor in learning.

This way, it will not learn that the collar triggers the correction unless it gets too close to the boundary." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "How long should I take to create the dummy collar effect? How many days should the dog wear a deactivated collar before receiving the correction for the first time?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "On average, it will take at least 3 days and as long as 7 days. How do I prevent one dog from chewing on the collar of another dog? If you see this happening, pull your dog away and redirect him to “sit” and “stay.” A daily spray of Lysol on the collar will help repel the other dog." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Why can't I leave the dog collar receiver on my dog for more than 12 hours?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "When any dog receiver collar is worn for extended periods (more than 3 days), the metal prongs can irritate the skin and cause a condition similar to bedsores.

The wire is installed around ‘the safe area,’ which is the area your pet is allowed to access. The transmitter box emits a radio signal, 360 degrees around the wire to the receiver on the electronic dog collar that beeps to alert your dog if it gets too close to the boundary (buried wire). If your dog continues moving towards the boundary wire, it will receive a correction from the radio signal. When it is properly trained, it learns to go back to the house when it hears the beep." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Is the system complicated to install and operate?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "From installation through training, the easy-to-follow manual enclosed will walk you through every step.

(Please refer to the article in our Resource Library called Dog Containment Layout). If your yard is larger than 1/2 an acre, then you will need additional wire and flags that are sold separately. The 300m roll of wire in the fence kit will only cover approximately 1.2 acres, and the 150m roll will cover approximately 0.5 acres." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Where can I install the wire?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Using an underground fence, you can fence out flowerbeds, driveways, gardens, landscaping, go around trees or down steep lots and even run it underwater! Product models contain detailed instructions on how to install the wire in these environments. The wire needs to form a closed loop circuit around the area in which your dog can roam freely. Where the ends meet, you need to either twist the wires or use twisted wire to cancel the signal, and then run it to the transmitter box in your house or garage. This allows your dog a free zone all the way around it. In some places, you will need to bury the wire, put it through a water hose (like with underwater installation), or attach it to a surface such as an existing fence. Do not use a garden hose with a metallic coating, as that would block the signal. Adjust the signal field by taking a charged collar and walking toward the wire. Set the boundary flags in the ground when you hear the collar beep. Adjust the button if it beeps too close or too far from the line. Do this around the entire containment area, setting your flags." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What are the most common mistakes people make when installing the electric dog fence?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Rushing the training or putting the fence up and expecting the dog to know how it works. See how to train below. 2. Putting out too few flags. You may have seen people install the flags every 3.5-4.5 metres apart in their yards. This is one of the most common mistakes. Dogs do not sit around connecting the dots, and will often attempt to run in between the flags. Definitely get enough flags to mark the wire every 1.5 metres. We recommend using string or marker tape from flag to flag, or grade stakes to show the dog a clear line." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Does the wire have to be buried?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "No, the system will operate properly above ground. We recommend that you bury the wire approximately 10-15 cm to prevent damage. You can rent an electric edger or trencher that quickly makes the slit in the ground for the wire. One person can go along with the edger to make the slot and the second can follow with the fence wire, drop it in the slot and step on it to close the slot. You can do this all around the boundary of your pet containment area. It takes no time at all to bury the wire." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What is meant by the pet area or pet containment area?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "This is the ‘safe’ area where the dog can roam freely without getting a static correction.
