Your puppy may be adorable but headstrong, or simply curious about the world around. He may want to chase after anything that catches his fancy or even the mailman. One way to keep the dog safe is to set up a dog fence with wire or mesh, but this may not work, since dogs know how to get around them. Dogs have been known to dig under a fence or find a gap and break free. This can be really dangerous. Innotek Dog Fences are a much better solution to this problem.

Innotek Fences are electronic fences. They are set up with the help of radio signals. A transmitter is set up specifying the limits that the dog can go up to. The dog collar has a receiver and if the dog wanders beyond the limits, it sends a mild jolt to the collar. The jolt does not harm the pet but it is unpleasant.

Not only is the Innotek Fence a great way to keep your dog safely on your property, you can also use it to train your dog. The makers of Innotek provide a training remote along with an easy to understand instructional video, so you will be able to train your dog to sit and stay on command.

Dogs soon understand to link the transgression with the jolt and avoid stepping beyond the specified limits. Once they are trained, you can set the fence up to just emit the tone and not the jolt. Innotek Dog Fences come with training manual and detailed instructions on how to set up the system. You can get Innotek Dog Fences of various types from PetKlace.

You want your dog to be happy and healthy, for that it needs exercise and space. While you would love to make your dog happy and let him loose, the neighbors will not appreciate this. Moreover it is risky. You would not like the pet to go dig up someone else’s yard.

If you have a lot of space, you could erect fences and let your dog roam around the yard free. In case you do not have so much space, you would require a pet containment device. Technology has helped us get one such device, the dog fence collar. It teaches the dog how to stay within an assigned area.

There are two types of containment systems; one is the wired one and the other wireless or electronic. The wired one would require you to lay down wires at the assigned boundaries and a control system on your garage wall would monitor the perimeter and jolt the dog if it tries to cross the boundary. The wireless one allows you to set up an electronic radius and if the dog attempts to wander away, it is given a corrective jolt. PetKlace has modern dog fence collars suitable for one dog or more than one.

Invisible dog fences are wonderful devices because they allow your pet to roam in the yard in total freedom, while preventing the dog from running off on to the road or coming under a speeding vehicle. It works in a simple way. It has a transmitter that monitors the yard boundaries. Set it up clearly defining boundary in which your pet has to stay. When the dog comes close to the boundary, the receiver which is in a collar of the dog emits a beep. If the dog does not retreat into the allowed area, it gives a mild electrical shock.

It is not inhumane since the electric shock is not more than an annoyance. However intensity may be increased if the dog ignores first jolt. It can go up to four settings, depending on the manufacturer of invisible dog fence.

The advantages of having an invisible dog fence are obvious, you don’t need get leashes and chains or confine the pet into cages. Your pet can happily roam around in relative freedom, which keeps them happy. These easy to install devices are great to train the dogs too, they learn to stay within the yard, and leave the milkman alone.
