Electric dog fences are radio wave fences that send a signal out to the perimeter of your yard to contain your dog. It comes with a transmitter and a transmitter collar. The better brands also offer little yellow flags to create a visual barrier for your dog to see for easier training. You should pick a brand that has the flags to show your dog the boundaries instead of confusing them.
You will set up the transmitter first to establish the yard perimeter. Then you will set up the flags to show your dog where they can’t go. Lastly, you will put the transmitter collar around your dog’s neck. All that’s left is to turn on your new fence and let your dog roam in his new yard area.
When your dog approaches the perimeter, a beeping noise will sound off. This beep is a warning to your dog that the fence is near. If your dog ignores the beep and crosses the boundary, they will receive a mild electrical shock around their neck. This is to train them to stay away from the barrier.
Once your dog crosses the line a few times and learns the consequences, they will learn to respect the warning beep and stay away from the perimeter. You dog will not chase after wild animals and ignore the boundary once they learn to respect it. As electric dog fence reviews go, they will guide you about the benefits of the different brands of fences available.
