Protect Your Pet

with Invisible Fencing

By Teri Ostenkowski, Dog Watch by K9 Fencing

While a fenced yard can protect your pet, a wood, chain link or wrought iron fence may not be the best solution. Physical fencing always allows the possibility of gates being left open or your dog jumping over, chewing through or digging under it. A better option may be invisible fencing which is preferred by many homeowners who don’t want the look or maintenance of physical fencing.

With hidden fencing, a “boundary wire” is buried a few inches under the ground around the area where your pet can roam. This boundary wire carries a harmless, low level radio signal from a transmitter installed in your house or garage. Your dog will need to be trained to recognize the boundary area which is marked with flags. Pets wear a special receiver collar that recognizes the radio signal. As they approach the buried wire the receiver emits a warning signal. If your pet gets too close to the wire they will receive a mild but safe “stimulation”, called a correction. With training your pet learns to stop at the warning signal.

Homeowners are often surprised to learn that a hidden fence almost always costs much less than traditional fencing. While hidden fencing cannot keep others dogs out, it will keep your pets confined to your yard.
