Does Your Dog Need An Invisible Fence?
Sponsored linksImagine that you have finally gotten the house that you had been saving up for so long. It has all that you wanted, including that lovely garden or lawn. However, the next day, when you go see your garden, you see that the best flowers have been unrooted and thrown apart. All of that work is now down the drain. You then turn around to see the family dog greet you and cover you with the same mud that his paws are covered with. Maybe it’s time to get an electric dog fence.
Advantages and Disadvantages of An Invisible Fence
Most times people buy an electric dog fence when they have a very playful and active dog. Dogs tend to roam a lot and get into things they don’t need to. This is when an invisible fence can help you. The fence is there to keep the dog within his own boundaries so that he can’t get into flowers, gardens, or even to other animals they shouldn’t be close to. It works by administering a small “punishment” when your dog tries to cross the set boundaries.
The “pumishment” consist of a static shock that is very mild. You might have heard of experiments where they train animals to modify or learn certain behavior patterns by a reward and punishment system. In this case, the punishment is the above mentioned static shock.
The shock is administered through a collar that the dog wears. The owner should adjust the intensity of the collar so that it’s not so mild that the furry and thicker skin of the dog prevents it from feeling the shock, but not so high that the shock hurts it. It might take a few tries to get it right (not on the dog, of course), but once you do, you won’t have to worry about your dog damaging your property or the collar damaging your dog.
