 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!
