Dog Fence – Because Only a Modern Invisible Fence WIll Do
You can keep your dog in your yard without spending much for a traditional fence and ruining the soil in your property. If you want your dog to have some space to roam free, so you don't have to keep it on a leash most of the time, then you need a dog fence. You can have a traditional fence or a modern dog fence, it's up to you.
If you do the installation for the traditional fence yourself, be prepared to either make or buy the fence posts yourself. There's also the digging tools and equipment, which you'll either buy or rent. Or you could hire a contractor and it will cost more. Some homes are located where there are portions of shared space, very old trees, landmarks, or structures that would be inconvenient to include in a traditional fence line – an added inconvenience.
If you live in areas where such physical fence installation is forbidden, then you have a problem – you won't get such physical fence installed. For those who rent, a traditional fence is not an option, owing to their contract that includes not performing major remodeling. The alternative, modern dog fences, becomes a serious alternative.
A modern dog's fence differs from a traditional one in many ways.
Unlike a traditional fence, a modern fence is invisible. The buried wires lining around an area on your property serve as the perimeter your dog is not supposed to get out of. A device broadcasts radio signals through those wires, with the broadcast detected by a receiver collar on your dog. When your dog comes too close to the boundary wires, the receiver sounds off a warning tone, which is followed by a shock when your dog tries to move past the boundaries.
You don't need brawn or a handyman, since you can install the modern dog's fence yourself. You can draw your property on paper, to anticipate any problems while laying the wires a few inches underground. Before you train your dog, you need to snugly fit the receiver collar on its neck.
Your dog can't scale, dig under, or claw a modern dog's fence – since there's no physical barrier. A wooden fence runs the risk of letting your dog claw it up, risking some injury. Any dog may still try, despite possible injury, to climb over a fence – any physical fence for that matter. And let's not get into the dug up earth in an attempt to do a doggie prison break. But with a modern invisible fence, you won't have any of these worries.
