Choosing Between Visible And Invisible Pet Fencing

By Janine Hughes


The thought of a lost family dog is very traumatizing. This is the point where containing your pet becomes a priority. There are many pet fencing options depending on your compound, the neighborhood and the risks facing the animals. This means that there can never be a one-fit-all solution.

The reasons for installing containment range from health to reproductive, leash laws, courtesy and good neighborliness as well as housing covenants. You have the traditional options of wood, chain link and rail. A trend is emerging in many homes that has made wireless or underground fences very popular.

Underground, invisible or wireless fencing succeeds through a combination of electronics, technology and training. Experienced technicians install the apparatus and conduct induction on its operation. When making a choice, consider the cost benefit and the advantages you get compared to conventional options. Manufacturers accompany the kit with caution instructions to avoid injuries to pets or their handlers.

Certain reasons have made underground fences very popular. They include restrictions on the type, size and even the existence of fences in neighborhoods. Pets have their freedoms restricted which is likely to inconvenience their owners. In order to circumvent these rules, invisible fences become an option.

The cost benefits of invisible fences make them the best choice in many areas. With a budget of 300 dollars you can secure an area that would cost over 2000 dollars using wooden materials and over 1400 dollars using chain links. Life fences take time to take shape and are not always reliable.

Underground fences are completed using three components namely underground wiring, a transmitter and the receiver. The pet is made to wear a light weight collar which acts as the receiver. The transmitter determines the area of coverage and correction for your system. This determination is done by a professional.

Invisible fences can also be used to enclose swimming pools, vegetable gardens and flower beds where you do not want the pets to access. It maintains the aesthetics around your compound without endangering pets. A professional will help do an excellent job of mapping areas where it will be activated and others that can be used for free roaming.

The collar works as a reminder that going past a certain section will cause harm. This means that you have to teach the pet where the boundaries lie. With physical fences, they can be seen. The invisible options restrict movement through shock. There is a warning that comes from the receiver which will cause the dog to retreat. It takes training to ensure that it retreats instead of freezing at the sound of the receiver.

Traditional chain link, wooden, life and rail fences fail to work because pets dig under them or jump over. Life fences are the most unreliable since the animals can pass through. Areas with strict fencing and pet restriction rules will be a headache to their owners. With the underground fence, you have peace of mind knowing that you are not exposed to penalties or fines for being nice to your companion.
