Choosing Between Visible And Invisible Pet Fencing

By Janine Hughes


Loosing the family pet is an agonizing experience and sparks debate about containment. When the decision is made, there are options depending on your neighborhood rules, type and size of compound and the type of animal you are dealing with. There is no universal solution to pet fencing. It calls for a customized approach based on your situation.

The reasons for installing containment range from health to reproductive, leash laws, courtesy and good neighborliness as well as housing covenants. You have the traditional options of wood, chain link and rail. A trend is emerging in many homes that has made wireless or underground fences very popular.

Underground, invisible or wireless fencing succeeds through a combination of electronics, technology and training. Experienced technicians install the apparatus and conduct induction on its operation. When making a choice, consider the cost benefit and the advantages you get compared to conventional options. Manufacturers accompany the kit with caution instructions to avoid injuries to pets or their handlers.

The popularity of invisible fences is driven by certain considerations. Some of them are the rules governing the existence, size and type of fence within a certain area. Pet lovers need to be sure that their companions are not in trouble or exposed to straying. Wireless fences make owning pets a reality despite stringent rules and personal concerns.

The cost benefits of invisible fences make them the best choice in many areas. With a budget of 300 dollars you can secure an area that would cost over 2000 dollars using wooden materials and over 1400 dollars using chain links. Life fences take time to take shape and are not always reliable.

Three components will complete your underground pet fence. A transmitter, underground wiring and a receiver. The receiver is worn on the collar and is very light in weight. The area this system will cover and its correction options depend on the strength of your transmitter. This is where you will need a professional to recommend the right gadget depending on your compound.

Enclosing swimming pools, flower gardens and vegetable patches can also be done using underground fences. It marks areas within the compound where the pets should not access. This maintains the beauty of the compound without erecting additional structures. It allows pets to roam freely without the danger of drowning or straying.

The collar works as a reminder that going past a certain section will cause harm. This means that you have to teach the pet where the boundaries lie. With physical fences, they can be seen. The invisible options restrict movement through shock. There is a warning that comes from the receiver which will cause the dog to retreat. It takes training to ensure that it retreats instead of freezing at the sound of the receiver.

Traditional chain link, wooden, life and rail fences fail to work because pets dig under them or jump over. Life fences are the most unreliable since the animals can pass through. Areas with strict fencing and pet restriction rules will be a headache to their owners. With the underground fence, you have peace of mind knowing that you are not exposed to penalties or fines for being nice to your companion.
