If you’ve looked into getting an invisible
dog fence for your yard, you’ve found that there are many different
options to choose from. This quick guide will point out some of the features
that are most important for you to consider to ensure you get the best dog
fence for your situation.
Why Use an Invisible
Fence?
Reliable Containment: Some
dogs have a strong desire to get out into the great, wide world beyond their
yard - and they’ll do whatever it takes to get past a traditional fence. These
escape artists are often better contained by an invisible dog fence. When your
dog gets close to the boundary line, their e-collar will let out warning beeps,
followed by a mild, static shock if the dog continues approaching the
perimeter. This deters dogs so they’re unable to get close enough to dig under
or jump over the fence line.
Unobstructed View: Fence
choice can also be a matter of style. If
you have a housing authority that prohibits fences, an invisible dog fence is
the safest way to contain your dog and follow the rules. If you have a gorgeous
view of a waterfront, golf course, or mountain, for example, you may not want
to place a fence that would mar your view of the landscape.
Inexpensive: Traditional
fences can cost thousands of dollars to purchase and install. A DIY
electric dog fence, on the other hand, can cost less than $300
total. Even with more expensive systems, invisible dog fences are usually more
than 80 percent less expensive than traditional fences. Installing your own dog
fence will also save you more than $1200 on installation fees. If your budget
is modest, you can still have a secure area for your dog.
Features You Must
Consider
When selecting an
electronic dog fence system, there are many different features to
keep in mind. Different systems have different specifications, and it’s very
important to select a dog fence system that’s appropriate for your yard and
your dogs.
Size of Yard: Some
electronic dog fences can secure up to 100 acres of property. It’s best,
however, to choose a system that has a maximum size capacity that’s only
slightly more than the size of your yard. Most electronic dog fence systems
come with 500 feet of wire to start. You’ll need to know the size of your yard
so you can purchase the correct amount of extra wire.
Number of Dogs: If
you have more than one dog, you need to make sure you buy a system that can
support the necessary number of e-collars. Some systems can support an unlimited
number of dogs, and others can only support one or two. The limit is important
to consider, especially if there’s a chance you may get more dogs in the
future.
Size of Dogs: Small
and large dogs need different levels of correction, which is why most e-collars
have several settings. They also make specialized e-collars for dogs that are
extremely small or large, but these specialized e-collars aren’t compatible
with all dog fence systems. You must determine the range of correction levels
your dogs will need, and you’ll need to find out the weight limits for the
e-collars that go with each system.
Power Sources
-Main System: A nearby
electrical outlet is required to power your dog fence. If your power often goes
out, due to storms, for example, you may want to get a system that has battery
backup. You can also purchase solar panels to power your dog fence if no outlet
is convenient.
-E-Collars: E-collar batteries need to be changed 2-4
times per year, and they are inexpensive. There are also rechargeable
e-collars, which are generally preferred.
Wired or Wireless: Wireless
systems are extremely simple to install and portable, but they are more
expensive, and most do not have the capacity of more than an acre. Over larger
areas they tend to be less reliable, so a wired system is better for a farm or
ranch. Your wireless dog fence might not support more than
two e-collars, so these are all limitations to keep in mind.
Comparing Invisible
Fences
Invisible fence reviews are extremely helpful
for comparing and contrasting different features. Online customer reviews are
also helpful for evaluating how a particular dog fence may or may not work for
your yard or your dog. You may also want to read over the manufacturer's
instructions so you can get an idea of what goes into installing a
dog fence, as well as what the training process for your dog is like. No matter
which dog fence system you choose, training your dog is always the most
important step of the installation process.
