Underground Or Wireless Dog Fence, Which One Will It Be?
I cannot emphasize enough regarding the underground dog fences and the wireless 
dog fence, just how stable they both are in keeping control over your dog outdoors in your front or back yard. I have mentioned before that I have had personal experience with the underground dog fences that we installed ourselves, and I will tell you that my dog respected the dog fence with very little training. After digging a small trench, the wire was set around the perimeter of our house, and the training flags were set in place, I put a leash on and walked him around the perimeter to get the feel of what was with these silly flags. He would try to go ahead of me and see what in the world was going on here, but as soon as he did, a constant clicking would begin and if he walked over the flags, he would receive a shock, not a drastic one, but one that he learned to respect very quickly.
The wireless dog fence is attached to the ground, no digging is necessary. Each dog 
fence has their own collar and adjusts accordingly to levels of correction for your dog. The wireless dog fence is portable and can be plugged into a cigarette lighter of your car, boat or RV. We took our dog on vacation with us to visit relatives, and their back yard was not fenced, but I had decided to take the flags and his collar along, so before letting him out in the yard I set the flags all around the area of the back yard, and guess what, he never crossed over the training flags. What a good boy he was. Be Happy!

Safety for Your Dog with an Underground Dog Fence
We talk about training dogs to do different things upon command, and when accomplished is a great day around the pet parents’ home knowing you can depend 
on your dog to behave. Almost everything we do with our dogs goes through some sort of training, whether it be potty training, the ‘heel’ command, or having an underground dog fence for your dog. Command training is usually something that does not just end, but continues throughout your dog’s life as a reminder to obey, because sometime they may forget. If the pet parent has a large front and back yard and wants to be able to let their dog outside without worrying, underground dog fences will not take away the beauty of your home.
There is nothing like letting your dog have the run of the yard and know that their safety is under control. Underground dog fences are easy to install with minimum 
effort by digging a shallow trench to lay the underground wire, then after covering the trench, flags are set several feet apart inside of the fence. A transmitter and receiver is used for training and the flags are an indication of just how close the dog can approach the underground dog fence before a warning clicking noise is heard. The underground dog fences are awesome for your dog to have the run of the yard and still keep safe in doing so. Be Happy!
Control Dead Stinky Varmints
I talked to a friend yesterday to keep in touch and find out how they were all doing. Snowing, she said, but the days upcoming is supposed to be warmer. Sometime last year a couple of dogs were wandering around their area and one ran away, but the other dog decided to go home with these newfound friends. Unfortunately, the 
previous family did not take good care of them, and being unhappy ran away. My friends took her into their home, fed her, and let her have the run of the house. Well, she made herself comfortable on the living room sofa and refused to get down when her new pet parents told her to do so. This dog also had and still has a separation anxiety toward her new family and wants to go everywhere they go. However, the dog won out on this problem because she is riding in their pickup truck all of the time. However, one evening when she was waiting in the truck for her pet family to finish their dinner at a local restaurant, she became bored and started tearing up the front seat of the truck. That became a huge problem, because that was a naughty thing to do to someone who was giving her a loving and caring home.
Things started to settle down with her behavior, but every time she went outside, she would wander off to investigate. There are several acres around the home for her to roam and hunt. The problem is she brings things home that are annoying to the pet parents. Such as a rotten deer leg, horns off a dead buck, dead squirrels, rabbits, dead birds and whatever else she could find. After a few weeks of this nonsense, guess what the pet parents did? Installed an underground dog fence around the 
perimeter of their home, which gives the dog a lot of room to run and play without wandering off to no telling where. They are still having a few problems because she ignores the training flags and goes across the line. The underground fence installer that they hired is coming back this week to increase the voltage. Evidently, the shock that the fence emits was too low. After the correct voltage is adjusted accordingly to keep this dog within the area designated, then her safety and well-being will relieve the concern of her pet parents. It will not take long before she will know not to cross the line. Then all will be happy campers, and good-bye to stinky dead varmints. Be Happy!
Happy Easter to Pet Parents and Their Pets
Petguardianangel and Petsafetyblog wish all a Happy Easter
I was just thinking the fun we had as children growing up and having Easter egg hunts on Easter Sunday. All the preparations ahead of time dying eggs, coloring them and creating delightful Easter baskets with goodies galore. Please keep in mind that dogs love chocolate, but do not give them any because it can be fatal. You do not want to experience a tragedy that could have been avoided. Give them one of their treats they love instead.
Just because we are not children anymore does not mean that this tradition should stop, and I am quite positive that it is still a celebration that will go on … Happy Easter , and Be Happy!
Safety And Security With An Underground Dog Fence
Yard fences are great to have, but some areas do not allow fences to be installed other the ones that are already in place. However, suppose you do not live in an area such as this and have a sizable front and back yard that your furry friend would love to run around and play in, but not fenced. This is a dangerous situation in keeping 
your dog safe. Most dogs will not stay within the perimeter of the home and have a tendency to roam checking out the neighborhood. Helplessness and heartbreak that many pet parents experience when they cannot find their family pet, causes emotions that pet parents do not want to face. Your dog may have slipped out of the front or back door when accidently left open, or you may already have a fenced yard, but digging is their favorite pastime when bored and can escape underneath the fence out of curiosity. There is a choice that should be made in protecting your dog by installing an underground dog fence. Underground dog fences do not require a great amount of labor or materials to construct. Maybe you overlooked the area that you wanted to install the fence and decided that you wanted a larger or even smaller fenced area. Move the fence to you and your dog’s need for better use of performance. Safety and security for your pet is important in containing your dog to an area that will be safe without constant worry for their safety.
Some underground dog fences will contain your dog in your yard up to ½ acre and with additional wire and flags, up to 5 acres in size and contain an unlimited number of pets. There are only three basic steps in the installation, and then you are ready to train your dog to their allowed areas of safety. Training flags come in the installation 
kit and will require placing them a certain number of feet from each other to a distant that you do not want your dog to cross. Underground fences for dogs deliver a slight shock through a special collar worn every time the dog wanders out of a designated area on your property. The intense shock depends on the strength of the system you purchase and will have more than one setting of control. Usually most dogs will catch on to their limits quickly and happily stay inside the yard. In the flag training, walk around with your dog showing them what the purpose of the flags are. Once you are confident your dog knows their boundaries, the flags can be removed, but this may take several weeks. If you ever move to a new location, the underground fence can be removed and installed once again. Be Happy!
Wireless Dog Fence
Before I submit an article on wireless dog fences, I wanted to share an article just received on dog poisoning. There have been three other deaths reported due to poisoning in the Spokane, Washington area recently and now another one just reported. A fast acting poison that is used in pest management is similar to strychnine. If a pet parent suspects poisoning, it has been advised to inject a water and hydrogen peroxide solution into the dog’s throat to cause vomiting. I hope that this will save your dog if this happens to you.
Now, to the wireless dog fence, most cities have a dog leash policy to control dogs running loose and doing things in your neighbor’s yard that they should not be doing. This can cause an unfriendly situation between you the pet parent, and your neighbor. If your dog has a fenced yard, you 
will not have to worry about the whereabouts of your dog, or if you live in a restricted area that does not allow fenced yards. A wireless dog fence is your answer. They are less expensive compared to having a traditional fence built, and leaves an appearance of not having a fence that takes away the beauty of your home. A wireless dog can be placed in boundaries that you decide upon, such as keeping your dog out of your garden, flower beds, entrance to your front door, or wherever you want to control their running and playing, or just relaxing watching the traffic go by. This is an awesome way of control and takes little time in the installation. However, you must keep in mind that a wireless dog fence will not work if your ground is hilly or you have many trees in your area. Not only can a wireless dog fence be used around the perimeter of your yard, but can be used inside your home as well. Another way you can utilize a wireless fence is if you are going for an outing, you can take the wireless dog fence along and plug the control into your vehicles cigarette lighter, even into your boat, (do not forget their dog life jacket) if you are a boat enthusiasts. Your dog will love it and you will love the convenience of having your dog go along with you, enjoying the fun and activities. Be Happy!
Install An Underground Dog Fence, You Won’t Be Sorry
It does not matter what kind of dog fence you have for your dog, but that you have one if your back yard is not fenced. There are many types of dog fences that can be installed and vary in cost of the installation involved. Wire, wood, brick, decorative, or fences that are 
underground, are critical for pet owners. Whatever is decided upon, each has a purpose. Avoiding accidents, keeping your dog safe in an area you choose, is an excellent way to confine your pet for peace of mind. If possible, with cost effectiveness in consideration, an underground fence is your answer. Underground dog fences can be installed very easily with less effort than building any other kind. The pet containment you choose will relieve constant worry about your dog getting out side and running off or hit by a car. You still need to monitor them as to there whereabouts.
Underground dog fences are installed in and around areas that you do not want your dog to get into, such as your garden or flowerbeds that you have worked so hard in establishing. You certainly do not want your dog galloping all over the place, destroying what you are proud of. Underground dog fences are placed a few inches below the surface, and have a special collar that can be programmed within the perimeter that you decide upon. It is important to decide where you want to place the transmitter into the electrical outlet. A signal is transmitted to the 
underground wire that will send a warning beep to your dog’s collar, cautioning your dog not to go any farther. Training flags are set several feet apart where the underground wire is buried, and this indicates to your dog just how far they can go. The signal can be anywhere from four to 15 feet from the wire. Just a short anecdote to the underground dog fence was an idea that I had. Traveling with my dog to visit relatives I decided to take his collar and the flags that I used to train him with, placed the flags around the perimeter of the back yard, and bingo. My boy (dog) actually thought that he would get a warning beep if he went to close to the flags. It was unbelievable to watch him. Here he was in a place that he was not familiar with, but still respected the flags. He was either a very smart boy or I was a brilliant pet parent. Either way, it worked. Be Happy!
Wireless Dog Fences Are Money Savers
Due to our nation’s economic upset, money is not something you want to throw away on products that will not be beneficial in keeping your dog out of 
harm’s way. Living in the city limits, or out in rural areas where there is a lot of room for your dog to run and play, but are not contained in a specific area, your dog could run away, get lost, or even have an accident. Older residences have back yards that are fenced in for privacy, a place for your children to play, and an area where your dog can be safe. Most fences that are constructed around perimeters of a new home have a wooden fence, about six feet high or so. Older homes may have chain link fences, or split-rail fences that are attractive, but not entirely safe for your dog. They can dig under the chain link fence, and probably walk right through the other fence. Masonry walls are beautiful, but expensive, and fences that are made of narrow slats of wood are okay, but you have to keep them painted regularly to look nice. There are so many different types of fences to consider, choose the one that is right for you and your dog.
A wireless dog fence is inexpensive compared to installing any other kind of containment for your dog to have some independence, but will still be controlled by their pet parent. Wireless dog fences are easy to install, no digging trenches to bury wires, just has two items, a transmitter, and a remote collar. The only drawback is that the wireless fence will not deter 
other animals. The transmitter will control an area from ten feet to ninety feet. Depending on the area selected, the dog collar is signaled from the transmitter causing a beep which will caution your dog to the limit allowed within the perimeter of your yard. Be Happy!

Off Limits Control – Install an Electronic Dog Fence
Electronic dog fences are designed in limiting your dog to areas that are off limits for them to run and play. They can do all of this within the perimeter of the area that the pet parent chooses, and still have enough room to play. 
Dogs will learn their limitation of areas within their pet parents’ property. Keeping your dog from roaming beyond their limit of safety will protect them from harm, and you will have peace of mind knowing where they are. Underground dog fences relieves the fear of your dog running off, and possibly getting lost if the identify information on their tags has not been updated. Always check to make sure the information has not been worn off accidently in the wear and tear of your dog’s collar and tags.
Underground dog fences are easy to install, and training your dog in the areas they are allowed to wander within the perimeter of your home, is a true comfort level for the pet parent. A small wire is buried under the area you choose, and a pet collar with a 
receiver is used to control your dog’s allowed distance. A link connecting the pet collar to the buried wire is battery operated, and will enforce the distance allowed from the inside of the wires perimeter. If your dog moves too close to the governed area, there will be a slight shock from the pet’s collar warning them they are too close. The shock is nothing to be concerned about because it is minimal, but affected. Training flags are provided in training, and are set several feet apart for visual experience to the dog. When all is complete with training your dog to the distance allowed, your dog may not even need their collar, but I would be very careful in making a decision such as this. Be Happy!
