Wireless Dog Fence Reviews

A wireless dog fence or electric dog fence is used to confine the dog without the use of a traditional fence. The wireless dog fence is buried around the perimeter of the property or other boundary for the dog as established by the dog owner.

The two parts of an electric dog fence system are the collar and the wireless fence. The collar is activated by be buried wireless fence and delivers a shock to the dog when the dog comes too close to the fence or crosses it.

One of the benefits of a wireless dog fence is for people who do not want a traditional fence around their yard. Many homeowners enjoy the aesthetics of an electric dog fence since it is completely concealed.

Traditional fencing requires regular maintenance and painting or staining to prevent the fence from becoming an eyesore. A neglected fence can also become a less secure boundary for the dog if boards become loose.

A wireless dog fence can keep the dog more secure than a traditional fence since many dogs will dig under a traditional fence to escape. If a dog escapes, it could come injured, stolen, or lost. Electric dog fences also eliminate the need for the dog owner to fill holes the dog may dig in attempts to escape.

Many times, a wireless dog fence can be used in locations where a traditional fence may be prohibited by local zoning laws or homeowners associations. A person considering installing a wireless dog fence should check for any restrictions.

A wireless dog fence does not provide a physical boundary for preventing animals and people from entering the property. This can be a disadvantage to an electric dog fence if the dog owner wants a fence for a sense of security.

Another disadvantage is that the shock of the dog collar could be set at a setting that is to low to prevent the dog from escaping. It may take some time for the dog owner to determine which setting is appropriate for the dog.

Dogs that escape from the property and are shocked when they cross the wireless dog fence to return to the property may become confused by this perceived punishment. A dog may learn that it is bad to return to the property.
