Kiddies, Work and Electronic Dog Fence
Overall, we highly recommend the PetSafe Stay & Play Compact Wireless Fence for anyone looking for a safe and easy way to create a secure play area for their dog. Best of all, the in-ground hybrid dog fence comes with a one-year warranty. Be sure to register the fence so that you can receive a 5-year warranty instead of just one. If you like to travel, you’ll be glad to hear that this system is portable. This means you can easily bring it with you when camping in the woods or staying at a vacation house.
It’s little wonder, then, why people see electric dog fences as the next best thing. GPS dog fences use a dog’s location to create a boundary, while wireless dog fences use a transmitter and receiver collar to create a boundary. GPS dog fences are more versatile and can be used anywhere, while wireless dog fences require a specific range and may not work in certain areas. The rechargeable, waterproof receiver collar is easy to use and fits comfortably on our dog’s neck. The beep and static shock modes were effective in warning and training our pet to stay within the boundary line.
If they don’t, you will have a difficult time teaching them about the boundaries they need to respect and shocks that come from their collar. Make sure to install the fence at least ten feet away from the edge of your yard. This ten-foot buffer zone between the pavement and the fence is vital for preventing unwanted behaviors.
This is our first pick due to its ease of installation and additional features compared to most other brands. That said, remember that not all electronic dog fence dog containment systems are created equal. It’s a convenient and effective way to keep all your furry friends safe and secure in your yard.
Consider these questions carefully before deciding whether you should get an electric fence or not. While many people disagree, these systems could be effective in keeping your dogs contained. If a small DIY project that will take about a day to do does not scare you, then I’d say the in-ground option is better due to its larger coverage and reliability. They take time to install, and after all of this, many dogs escape artists still find a way to get out. A traditional dog fence is exactly what you imagine—a regular type of fence that you put up to contain your dog. On the other hand, no one can contest the adaptability and convenience of an invisible fence.
Wired systems are typically considered more stable and less prone to interference than wireless options, providing a more consistent means of pet containment. This model also comes with the Link app, where you can customize correction settings and do more than keep your dog in your yard. It includes remote correction to put a stop to behaviors like barking or jumping. The fence has extra settings like Yard Link so you can connect with a neighbor (who has the same wireless fence), letting dogs play together.
