How Do Electric Dog Fences Work?

How Does Dog Guard Out of Sight Fencing Work?

Dog Guard Out of Sight Fencing provides a safe, effective alternative to traditional fencing, giving your dog the freedom to enjoy your yard while giving you peace of mind.

Our system uses a digital radio signal to create a customized boundary around your property. Your dog wears a small receiver collar that communicates with the system and provides a warning as they approach the boundary.

The most important part of the system is professional training. We work with you and your dog to teach them where their boundaries are in a safe, positive, and easy-to-understand way.

With proper training, your dog learns to respect the boundary while still enjoying the freedom to run, play, and explore your yard.

Training

The boundary is marked off with flags, creating a visible boundary line for the pet. For four days the dog owner should spend fifteen minutes, twice daily, walking the dog on a leash around the flag boundary. If the dog moves toward the flags, he should be told “NO!” The dog should then be moved away from the flags and given lots of praise.

By using this technique, the dog will quickly learn where the boundary is located. Once the dog becomes familiar with the visible boundary, the flags can be removed. After your system is activated, when your pet enters the reminder zone (3 to 6 feet from the signal wire) they receive your choice of an audio signal or a mild correction stimulus, warning that they are approaching the boundary.

Our highly-trained pet behavior specialists will work with you and your pet throughout the initial process to make sure training techniques and boundaries are clearly defined.
