How Does An Electronic Dog Fence Work?

Thursday, June 28, 2012

Since 1991, the friendly staff at Pet Control has been answering that question for Australian residents. If you’re thinking about installing a wireless dog fence in your yard, it’s important to understand the way in which it works.

Basically, after running the provided wire around the area in which you want to make a boundary, you must plug both ends into the transmitter. This creates a closed circuit for the radio signal to travel on around the barrier.

A lightweight receiver is attached to your dog’s collar, which picks up on this radio signal when your dog is nearing the boundary line. That way, your dog is warned when he is nearing the no go zone through a noise emitted from his receiver.

If your pooch ignores these signals and continues towards your electronic dog fence, he will receive a static correction, which startles him without causing harm. This is enough to send him back into the area you wish for him to stay in.

Training your dog with an electronic dog fence

Training your dog to understand the newly installed electronic dog fence is key to its success. This is something that can usually easily be achieved within 7-10 days, with only short 5-7 minute training daily exercises required.

When you talk to the expert team at Pet Control on 1300 720 910, we’ll be able to answer any more questions about training your dog, or electronic fences in general. So if you want an effective way to protect your pet that is easy to set up and aesthetically pleasing, browse Pet Control’s great range today!

Tips For Training Your Dog With An Electric Fence

Monday, May 7, 2012

For almost 40 years, the concept and design of electric fences for dogs has been researched and developed to the current high standard they hold. During this time, the amount installed in the homes of concerned pet owners has rapidly grown. There are numerous reasons why an owner may want to section off their yard or parts of their home, and all lead to benefits for both their pet and other’s safety.

Getting the most out of an electric dog fence

After selecting from a broad range of electronic fence options, the ‘training period’ in which your dog is taught to understand his or her new barrier is key.  If done correctly, this process can be quick and easy, and the full benefits of your new electric fence will be realised almost immediately.

For the first week, it is beneficial to introduce your dog to the boundary line. You may want to spend time in the yard with a lead fitted to your dog, playing within the safe zone and controlling the limited times your dog goes towards the electronic fence.

After a short while, your dog will start to learn about the new boundary line. It is very important to spend time with your pooch playing inside the area he or she is allowed to be in, to encourage them that the yard is still a fun place, just now only inside the electric fence.

Keep Your Dog Safe And Secure

Wednesday, March 28, 2012

Do you go to work worried by what your pet dog will get up to while you are away? Are you afraid your pooch will wander off and never return or get run over as he chases a cat down a busy road? Well, worry no more. There is an electric dog fence that will give your pet the freedom to roam your backyard and at the same time keep it safe from any of the incidences described. The PetSafe PRF-275-19 Stubborn Dog Radio Fence will help train your dog to keep within the limits of your yard without harming it.

Ensure Your Dog’s Protection

The fence comes as a set complete with a collar containing a receiver which communicates with a signal transmitter that runs along the entire perimeter of the electric dog fence. When your dog begins to stray too close to the boundary, a warning beep is produced to warn him and if he doesn’t turn away, a small static charge is released to startle him. Keep your dog safe by ordering the PetSafe PRF-275-19 Stubborn Dog Radio Fence from Pet Control today.

Tuesday, February 28, 2012

The Easter long weekend is just over a month away. It’s a time when many of us will take the family away for a few days up the coast, possibly go camping in the bush, or maybe even visit friends interstate.

Electric Dog Fences – not just for property boundaries

Tuesday, December 6, 2011

When people think of electric dog fences, they often assume they are only used on big properties where there is limited or minimal fencing around the outskirts. Whilst this is a common use, an electric dog fence is just as handy for keeping pets out of sections of your backyard that you want to remain pristine.

Even if you have large walls that will keep your pet on site, areas like vegetable patches and pools can still be open to pet invasion. Electric dog fences negate this possibility, providing a safe, invisible shield around that area to keep your dog out.

Protect your pet with electric dog fences

Electric dog fences aren’t just about keeping your favourite plants at their best, it’s also protecting the safety of your pet. Pools and pesticides can be major hazards to your dog, especially if they are only young pups. Install a Pet Control electric dog fence, and these hazards won’t be a worry anymore.
