Your Dog Feels the Invisible Dog Fence
When we say runner, we usually think to a convict or a sportsman, but dog owners think at their dogs.
What do pet owners understand when they speak about runners?
A runner is a dog that likes to get out of its confined area and run about on its own. Most of these dogs wouldn't hurt a fly on the wall and are just out and about having fun without a care in the world until a driver doesn't see the dog until it is too late or a non-dog person decides to take matters into their own hands. We all want our dogs to have as much freedom as they possibly can, but don't let your energetic canine companion become prey to the dangers of the outside world. We can keep our dog at home through different methods, but most of them will not allow him the possibility to move for free within the whole space we dispose of at our homes, where it is safe for him. Nevertheless, a new option is now available on the market, and we speak about a special type of fencing system that is usually called the invisible dog fence..
These fences work through the installation of sensors around the area you want you want to allow your dog to play in and a special collar that is placed around your furry friend's neck. The array of sensors that border the restraining space will sense the dog approaching and then the collar will by trigger by the central unit to issue a warning beep, in order to indicate your dog to stop or turn around. While firstly using such a collar, the dog will probably not understand the meaning of the warning beep and will continue advancing towards the limits of the yard, but in this case the collar will be trigger to deliver it a mild electric pulse that will convince the dog to stop. Shocks are delivered only when they are required, but after a couple of such unpleasant experiences your dog will learn that is better to stop when he hears the warning sound, so there will be no more need of the shocks.
Some people, most of them having no dogs to care about, say this type of fence is giving to the dog inhumane treatment, because of the shock delivered by the electronic collar. Maybe this belief was true in 1971, when the invisible dog fence has been first invented, but since then the whole containment system drastically improved. The shock given to your canine companion is little more than the same static shock you can get from rubbing your feet on carpet with socks on and then touching a metallic object. The dog is not harmed but astonished. You can set the shock to an intensity you consider acceptable.
It is less cruel than exposing the dog to accidents or other mishaps.
Invisible fences have been rewarding for dogs and their owners for decades now. They are worth the money you invested in.
Your dog will be happier than ever that you allow him or her to play and frolic in an open area where they can see everything around them. Both you and your dog will benefit.
And regrets for no one.
