Imagine that you have finally gotten the house that you had been saving up
for so long. You have everything you wanted including that wonderful garden you
have always dreamed of. However, when the next day you go see your garden, you
notice that many of the flowers have been damaged or unrooted. All of that work
is now down the drain. You then turn around to see the family dog greet you and
cover you with the same mud that his paws are covered with. It's maybe time to
invest in an invisible fence.
Benefits and Drawbacks of An Invisible Fence
Most times people buy an invisible fence when they have a very playful and
active dog. Dogs tend to roam a lot and get into things they don’t need to.
That's when an invisible fence can be helpful. The fence will limit the dog to
an area so that it doesn't destroy flowers or gardens by accident. It works by
administering a small "punishment" when your dog tries to cross the set
boundaries.
The "pumishment" consist of a static shock that is very mild. We have all heard
about dog experiments in which dogs are taught not to do things based on
reaching punishment for doing them. In this case, if the dog gets within a
certain distance of an invisible fence it will receive some form of shock.
The shock is administered through a collar that the dog wears. The intensity of
the shock should be adjusted by the owner so that it's not so strong that it
hurts the dog or is painful for it, but not so mild that the dog can just ignore
it (dogs have a much ticker skin than humans and much bigger resistance to
pain). After a bit of experimentation (not on the dog, of course), you'll find
the right level that will work nicely.
An invisible fence is a good idea to keep your dog within a fixed area without altering your property. Your dog will not be able to destroy gardens or other things in your garden. In addition, an invisible fence will protect your dog from running towards guests or running cars.
