A Dog Fence Keeps Trouble OUT By Keeping Dogs IN
A dog fence is something all dog owners must install to keep their dogs safe and away from trouble. Perhaps, there have been occasions when you left your dog unwatched in an unfenced yard, only to find it did the usual disappearing act. You needn’t be reminded that a repeat of such occasions could put your pet in harms way, or perhaps worse. That's the reason why a dog fence is so useful; because it allows dog owners to leave their dogs unattended without the constant fear that they will run into trouble.
What Is There To Be Considered?
Choosing a good dog fence requires you to consider the size and type of place you live in, the area that you will limit the dog to, the size and breed of the dog, how much freedom of movement the dog needs when you're not around, and how much you can afford to spend, of course. Because of this, it pays to take some time comparing the different kinds of dog fences that are available and to weight their advantages and disadvantages.
What Types of Dog Fences Are There?
Dog fences don't have to be necessarily made of wood or steel; in fact, manufacturers produce several types of fences that use many materials. You can even get one of those invisible dog fences that use advanced technology. Here are two types of dog fences you may consider.
The wooden dog fence has been very popular for centuries. While installing it is bothersome, it resists all types of weather and is very resistant.
On the other hand, the invisible fence is very original and very easy to install. It involves the installation of an underground cable running along the perimeter of your yard, and over ground flags/posts to indicate where the cable is installed. This cable can detect the collar that the dog is wearing, so if your dog gets too close to the cable, the collar ill emit a sound to warn your dog. If the dog continues to advance, it will get a mild static shock, similar to the one you get when you handle fabric, so that it doesn't try to cross the fence.
Because of their curious nature, unrestricted dogs will wander away at the first opportunity they get. So to keep your dog safe (and your neighbors happy); install a pet fence. This way, you’ll keep trouble OUT. But at the same time, your dog will be kept IN.
