Are you one of the many individuals who have purchased and set up an invisible electric dog fence? At this point, you can vouch for the effectiveness of the system in keeping your dog from running away. However, there is more to the system than just containment. There are still many ways to maximize the use of your invisible electric dog fence.
Here are some of them:
Increase your range. At first, you might have been constricted by the circular barrier and created a small area for your dog to play with. Now that he has shown discipline and restraint, it would be best to reward him by moving the boundary as far as possible. The maximum range from the transmitter is 90 feet. This means you can have a play area as wide as 180 feet. No what if some portions of your signals reach your next door neighbor’s property? You don’t have to worry since you can simply place the flags on the wall, and still your pet won’t climb over it.
Adjust the receiver. As the discipline of your dog becomes imminent, another reward that you can give is by lowering the correction level. It will make the receiver much more comfortable to wear. The receiver is safe and will not harm your dog. This reinforces the idea that the static correction is not there for punishment, but for attention calling only.
Try the system on more pets. As long as the pets weigh at least nine pounds and understand commands, you can actually try the invisible electric dog fence to many pets. The receiver works like a radio. Even if there are more radios in the same place, the signal doesn’t change. Thus, having many dogs with receivers will still be fine. This will also reduce the isolation your dog may have been feeling.
Bring your pet outside. Pets that love to run around end up getting lost in the woods or even in the park. However, the light and small size of your transmitter means that it is possible to create invisible barriers to areas you and your dog couldn’t go before. Now you can relax with your dog while fishing in the bay. You can also use your car to power the transmitter.
Complete your pet’s training. Even if the system is good in containing pets, it is with training that an invisible electric dog fence can reach its final goal: a dog that is able to stay in a designated area. The dogs have strong discipline and self control. To do that, they should go beyond knowing where the boundaries are and completely avoid them. Moreover, they would feel the static corrections but should treat them as strong reminders.
You can also try putting his favorite snack outside the boundary to see if he would try to sneak around. The final test, of course, is the removal of the receiver and its replacement with a regular collar. This will confirm whether he will still remain in the vicinity or head straight to free land.
