Is your dog a runner? Different to cats, dogs are quite active animals that like to be on the move almost all time and get bored when they are alone, having no companion to play with. Many of these dogs will typically find ways to get out of fenced in areas and other containment areas. There are lots of reasons why so many houses don’t have their back yards fenced and the presence of a running dog won’t change this situation. Luckily for dog owners, technology has advanced to a point where you now have more options than going through the laborious task of building a fenced in area for your dog. Of course the electronic dog fence is not simple equipment, but dog owners just need to read the instructions in order to easily use it.
An electronic dog fence is usually installed around the area you wish to fence in for your dog by a professional company. Several sensors are placed around the fenced in area that interact with the specialized dog collar used for the fence. The sensors will sense when the dog approaches them, and then the collar will issue a warning sound to make your dog turn back. In the beginning, the dog may not stop when hearing the warning sound and the collar will deliver it a mild but unpleasant electric shock. Not even one dog within a hundred will need more than two or three shocks until he or she will learn to stop the moment they hear the warning beep.
There are people who oppose to the use of such type of dog containment systems as they consider the electronic shocks to be inhumane treatment for animals. However, the technology has been refined to be completely dog friendly. The collars usually have a shock setting on them that you get to set for your animal. In order to be sure the settings you make will not hurt in any way your dog, the vendors of these equipments will encourage you to test them by yourself. At the maximum setting, when trying the collar you will feel something like the electric static shock you’ve already experienced at home some times. The dog will be astonished by the shock, not hurt. The shock is more surprising than anything else.
This mild shock is a very small price for the safety of your dog. Your dog is better protected inside one of these fences and getting a few shocks at first than having a yard your dog can get out of to roam the streets and fields unsupervised.

Buying an electronic dog fence means paying for the safety of your dog. They are safe and easy to use devices. So what do you have to lose? Your dog will be happy to run free of the long leash.
