For pet owners, the most dreadful thing to happen is a pet going out of the fence and roaming in the open roads. If you live in a small village, it is easier to locate your dog and have it back safe and sound in less than a few hours. But many families live in the countryside or in a location with lush grounds and wooded backyards. Somehow, putting up a fence that surrounds the entire property is more costly than training your pet to know where it should roam and how much space is allotted.
With modern technology and electronic advancements, the wireless dog electric fence came about. This is a training and barrier system in one which includes an e-collar that responds to the fence. Your pet can roam around freely without a leash if it has been trained to adapt to the system and its surroundings without straying away from your property.
The electric fence can be in the form of a rock or anything that blends with the environment. The dog collar responds by producing a pulse that's electronically powered and this happens when your pet roams outside of the allotted perimeter. You can set the perimeter depending on the size of your property and the needs of your dog. If it happens to be a herding dog, make sure to give it more space because it is in its nature to roam larger areas. For house dogs, it is best to start with a smaller area while still in training. Gradually increase the surrounding areas until you feel comfortable and confident that your pet won't roam outside the allotted area.
Some dogs get excited and forget about the pulses and beeps involved in the system. You can help correct this by using a leash just to be sure or by reducing the area allotted for play and roaming around. Your pet should learn that a pulse or electronic stimulation is a consequence for not staying within his area. So, training is vital in order to establish a specific behavior when it comes to being outside of the house and within the 'safe' area.
