There is a lot of advise online about every type of dog fence imaginable.  But electric dog fence reviews seem to concentrate more upon the ethical side of the problem than the functional side.  Electric dog fences use an indoor transmitter and collar to teach your dog his/her boundaries.  If you are considering using an electric fence, then honest information is what you crave.

Pros
An electric fence for dogs isn’t the same thing you see outside a jail. These fences are created by digging a wire just below the grass level and using the wire to broadcast a radio signal to a certain receiver on your dog’s collar.  The largest advantage cited by homeowners is that they have no worries of their yard being covered or overthrown by the interuption of a permanent fencing structure.

If you live in a community that has special rules, the electric fence may be the only acceptable and inexpensive option.  It is low up keep and generally invisible.  close when you trained your dog with the flags or if they are close enough to your home to see the connection site for the wire’s ends.~Neighbors will only notice the fence as you train your dog with the practice flags and as you set up the unit.}

Electric dog fences are practical in teaching dogs to remain inside a certain boundary because they feed directly into the reward system, if the training is done correctly.  Since most dogs are very antsy to please their owners, training is quick and with frequent refreshers, consistent.

Cons
Opponents cite the use of an electric intinsity as inhumane.  If you agree with that opinion, you don’t need to read any further.  The shock is reasonable mild, and any experienced trainer using this system will let you feel the intensity for yourself.

There is no promise that a particularly distracted dog will be able to stay inside the boundaries of the fence.  Therefore, this kind of fencing can’t keep others off your property and away from your dog.  Kids can stand just beyond the wire and tease your pet if they are in the yard, and your pet has little barrier.

The fence depends upon your vigilance in keeping up with fully charged collars and a unit that is working.  In a power outage, there is no way for the transmitter to produce either the warning tone or the shock that reminds your dog where to remain.

Helpful Hints
All the fences operate on the same principle.  The transmitting wire carries the signal around the boundary you have set.  When your dog approaches the perimeter wearing the collar, he will first get a warning then a shock.  Look for a system that meets your individual needs.

Additional wire and receivers are available just about anywhere.  Your dog’s weight will need to be taken into occurrence when buying a collar. You will not want to buy a big dog collar for a small dog in case of stronger correction, and vise versa.

You can find many different collar styles and set up directions online.  Figure out which is best for you and your pet and give it a try. You will be suprised with the conclusion.
