Product Description

The PetSafe Wireless Fence pet containment system is a revolutionary concept that provides the safest, simplest form of pet containment ever. Plug in the transmitter somewhere inconspicuous in your home. The transmitter emits a 17.5 kHz radio signal around your home. Your pet wears a lightweight receiver collar that "listens" for the signal. While the collar is receiving the signal, your dog is free to run and play in your yard. When he approaches the boundary of the signal area, he receives a warning beep. If your dog does not return, he receives a static correction which is startling but not harmful. With a little simple training, your dog will quickly learn his boundaries. The training of your pet is a key element with the PetSafe Wireless Fence. Follow the easy instruction and training manual that is included. For use in the US only. This unit is compatible with all US 110v outlets and are not to be used with 220v international voltage.

Things to Know About Wireless Dog Fences

Petting has increased in the recent times and dogs are considered to be the man's best friend. They are petted for their loyalty and cuteness and hence many developments are made in petting in lines with the technology. A wireless dog fence is one of the latest developments in petting dogs. A wireless dog fence is an artificial fence which involves a transmitter in the hands of the owner and the receiver tied to the neck of the dog. Taking your dogs on a walk everyday is a part of petting. When the dogs are taken out for a walk, the chance of the dog going out of its way is high. The use of wireless dog fences is a solution to this problem. The wireless dog fence creates an artificial boundary to the dog. The boundary could go up to 100mt radius and once the dog crosses this artificial boundary, a mild shock is given to the dog and an indication to the owner that the dog is out of boundary. The shock reminds the dog to go back to its owner or to remain within the boundary.

The configuration of the wireless fence for dogs can be configured in just 2 hours. Firstly for the setting up of the wireless fence for dogs, the right place and the boundary should be known. In case you wish to tie the dog fence to the dog within the house, then you should ensure that the boundary is well outside the house. Else the dog would be corrected unnecessarily. The interferences with respect to the wireless dog fences should be taken care while choosing place to draw the boundary. For example, if the dogs resting place is a metal crate, this could pose interferences to the signals to the wireless fence. The dog collar used in wireless fencing for dogs has a audible beeping sound. This makes it easy to set the boundary for the dog outdoors. When you walk with the dog collar which acts a receiver to the wireless fence before the corrective step is issued an audible beep is made by the dog collar. When this audible beep is made, the landmarks such as the buildings, bricks and others can be noted and checked whether this wireless boundary is satisfactory.

Once the location is established for the wireless boundary, the dog can be trained with the mildest possible shock to gain its attention. The training needs to be done for several days so that the dog understands to refrain itself from crossing the boundary. There are various types of wireless dog fences namely the portable wireless dog fence, Wi-Fi enabled dog fence and also the small dog wireless fence is also available for the small dogs. According to the breed of dogs and the utility needed the type of wireless fence for dogs can be chosen. Viewing the reviews and accessing the forums related to pets online offers a great idea on the type of wireless fence to be chosen for your dog.
