Absolutely, a wireless fence will ensure your dog stays in the yard and doesn't go running off. If you are a dog owner and has a dog that likes to escape from the confinement of your back yard, then you understand the problems of keeping him within the boundary of your home. What are the alternative options to a wireless fence, they are to chain your dog up all the time or have a new fence erected.
Both the PetSafe and Innotek wireless fence takes into account the temperament of your dog when training it to stay within the boundary of your yard. When your dog approaches the boundary it gets a mild static correction. The negative correction will work for some pets and not for others. Because of this, the PetSafe wireless fence has 6 levels of negative correction. Therefore if the first level has no effect, you can increase the setting to level two. The levels can be adjusted up to and including level six.
This means it will cater for all dog's personalities, from the timid to the stubborn. Dogs are extremely intelligent and learn very fast, they soon realize that when they get to close to boundary flags, they will get a static shock from the wireless fence.
The wireless fence is based on proven dog training methods. The 3 fundamental dog training must haves are time, regularity and stimulus. The first rule is time or timing, as soon as your dog crosses the boundary it needs an instant response. With consistency you want to make sure your dog is corrected every time or else it gets confused and finally negative motivation - the static correction.
A bitch trains her pups by nibbling their neck should they do anything to displease her. The static correction works the same way; it nips your dog's neck when it tries to cross the boundary of the wireless fence.
You should also be aware that in very few cases a wireless fence may not work for your dog. It is rare for it not to work but there are times when it doesn't. In this unlikely situation what recourse do you have?I would recommend you buy your wireless fence from somebody who can offer you a money back guarantee. It is important to find a reputable supplier who comes recommended and will offer you a sixty day money back guarantee if you are not satisfied and preferably with a lifetime warranty on all parts.
