How a Wireless Dog Collar Works With an Electronic Dog Fence

By Brenda Minica

Your best friend Fido has a tendency to chase cars. You want to let him enjoy the outdoors, but sometimes he's too quick for you to catch, and before you know it, he's tearing down the street after a truck. You're left searching for options. What should you do?

Well, ensuring that your dog stays in your lawn can be a bit of a challenge. Of course, it seems like with some training you could keep your dog safe in your yard, but temptation can often strike. That is where a wireless dog fence and collar can come in.

Wireless dog fences are exactly what they sound like. An electric fence that doesn't have any cumbersome wires. This will allow you the flexibility of not having to dig several holes in your lawn. Instead, you will be able to simply place the fences transmitter into an outlet that is near where you want your dog to be contained.

Basically, a wireless dog fence and collar will keep your dog into a area that is circular in nature. To use it you fasten the receiver collar onto your dog's neck. This collar will receive the signals from the wireless fence transmitter. The transmitter will be placed indoors in an outlet near the area that you'd like your dog to remain in. If your dog starts to go outside of the area that you've mapped out for them then a signal will be sent to your dog's collar.

Of course you want to know how that signal is going to keep little Fido in the area that you've designated for him. Basically, on the transmitter you would set the size of the circle's diameter, then holding the collar you can verify exactly where the circle is when it beeps. Once your zone is set up if little Fido starts to head out of it the transmitter will send a signal to his collar and it will sound a warning sound to alert your dog that he's headed in the wrong direction. If he doesn't return to the safe zone then a small electric pulse is sent to him. The pulse is not at all painful, but instead serves to shock him out of his current mindset.

Most wireless dog fences have several different features that can make them more appealing to you. Many wireless fences are portable which will allow you the flexibility to take it with you if you need to. Additionally, some varieties allow you to have an unlimited number of dogs monitored by the system. Another great feature is that your wireless fence can have a run through protection. Meaning, that if your dog takes off chasing something a signal will be sent to your dogs collar letting them know that they need to return to their specific area.

Your dog is not called your best friend for no reason. Our pets mean the world to us, and their safety should be the top priority of any dog owner. By using a wireless dog fence and collar, you will be able to provide your dog with the guidelines that they need, but the truth is that your dog needs guidelines. Giving them a routine and signal that lets them know where they can be will help keep them safe and happy.

Setting up flags to mark the boundary and training your dog are essential parts of establishing the boundary in your dog's mind.
