An Electric Dog Fence Will Help Keep Your Bird Dogs Safe
Posted in Dog Training Supplies on 05/05/2009 03:58 am by adminWe all worry about our hunting dogs and their safety. Concerns about what could happen if your dog was to escape from your yard and wander the neighborhood are normal.
The most well behaved dog is liable to create all types of havoc in your neighborhood including killing other animals, biting children, digging holes in other people’s yards, eating anything they find in the street (or the garbage) and heaven forbid – coming home a parent.
Many dog owners will put up a traditional wood or chain link fence to keep their pets safe. However, these fences aren’t always ideal. They’re not pretty to look at, dogs can get over or under it, and can cause the value of your home to decrease. This has a lot of dog owners looking for an alternative to allow their dogs to remain safe on the property and still have the peace of mind of knowing that their dogs can’t get into trouble.
Today, more and more responsible dog owners are electing to use an electric dog fence, which is designed to keep your dog safely in your yard. Some people feel that these systems are inhumane because they correct your dog’s errant behavior by jolting him with a small electrical charge. The fact of the matter is that these electric systems actually are designed to not harm your dog, instead they provide a ‘reminder’ that they are going into areas that they should not be going into.
Electronic dog fences are great for those who don’t like the look of a fence. In fact, these dog fences aren’t fences at all. They are a system of wires that are buried a few inches below the ground. The wires act as a boundary for your dog and is controlled via a transmitter that can be located anywhere you choose. The system works by receiving a signal that indicates your dog is crossing his boundaries, and will then send a small electrical stimulation to the receiver collar around your dog’s neck.
Originally, electric dog fences would fail quite often, usually because they issued a shock only when the dog crossed the boundary. Innotek’s system, however, contains your dog safely and effectively.
Today’s Innotek systems have all new features that increase the “shock” as your dog continues to test the boundary in addition to continuing them for a range after the dog has left the boundaries to roam. For most dogs, this is more than enough.
With Innotek’s newer fence system, previous models are obsolete. Older models were limited in range, making it difficult for your dog to enjoy larger spaces for running and playing. Now, even the lower end Innotek systems cover as many as five acres, and the top model can go up to 25 acres, which is great for those who have large properties.
Another challenge that was faced by many dog owners is what to do about multiple dogs, but Innotek has also addressed that concern by allowing you to purchase additional collars for use with the electric fence system.
