electric Dog Fence - Answers to often Asked Questions

"I'd like to use an hidden electric dog fence, but I live in a cold climate. Will it work?"

It will be leading for the control transmitter to be kept inside in a dry area like a shed or garage. Large amounts of snow can originate interference with an hidden electric dog fence system. You may have to change the signal to adapt the interference. The hidden theory would have to be set up when you can dig a trench for the hidden wire to be settled before the ground becomes frozen.

If you are seeing for a more secure recipe for holding the dog far adequate away from an existing fence so he won't jump it then the wire can be attached by securing the wire to the fence with ties, no digging. You can also use staples to secure the wire to the ground if you don't want to dig a trench for the wire, but, again, this must be done before snow hits the ground.

"My theory is suddenly sending signals to my dog when it shouldn't. What's wrong?"

If your theory starts acting up in ways that are unusual, check out each part of the system.

1. Check that the dog is receiving the correction. Are the prongs touching the dog's skin? If not, then shave or trim the dog's hair around the receiver collar.

2. Check to see if the batteries are still working. Their life ordinarily runs around three months.

3. Check the transmitter for allowable power.

4. Look for a break in the wire theory running through the yard. There is a dog fence wire break locator available (approximately ) that will help you detect a power break in the wiring. It makes a noise that you can hear on an Am radio. Walk around the perimeter and when the noise level drops you have found the break. Fix the break immediately or mark the area so when you return later for the repair it can be found easily.

5. I t might be time for repair if the collar, for instance, starts shocking your dog when there is a power outage or when farther away from the perimeter than usual.

You can have warranted items repaired, or you may have to replace worn out parts. Go back to the builder and have the transmitter and receiver professionally evaluated if whether seems to be the cause of the problem.

"I have a large yard, is there a theory that can adapt me?"

Some systems allow looping of the wire that can add extra space. Others provide extra wire (for a price) that will adapt up to 100 acres. Look for a theory that will allow multiple dogs to run in a large area.

"My mixed breed dog chases all and doesn't seem to observation pain either. What will work for an exuberant dog?"

Dogs who have a high tolerance level may not feel the improvement from low-level shock impulses. Look at getting a Stubborn Dog theory that has five levels of correction. Again, make sure that the dog is feeling the prongs from the collar. After all, no shock, no response!

"I have a small Yorkshire Terrier. Is there anything special just for small dogs?"

There is a limited dog collar from PetSafe that works great on small dogs under 10 lbs.

"I didn't train my pet in the beginning. She just runs through the boundary like it's not there. Is it too late now?"

First, make sure that the theory is working properly and she is getting the shock.

To change bad behavior, you must start from the starting as if you've never used the electric dog fence product. Set up the flags. Put the dog on a leash and walk the perimeter. Then let the dog enjoy short periods on a longer leash that still allows you to definite poor behavior. Give this training duration time to work! It may take longer to retrain the animal. Never let the dog out alone until you are indubitably safe bet that your dog has learned respect for the boundary. All the time be sure to give your dog safe bet feedback throughout the training period.

Training helps our popular pets to be more comfortable in their space and therefore happier companions to us.
