How Does the Invisible Dog Fence Work?
Most invisible fences have a buried wire (although there are wireless versions now available) that signals a computerized unit and will send a message to the dog letting him know that he is going out of bounds. Once the dog has tripped the signal, he will get a warning sound. If he ignores the warning, he will get a short, mild shock from his collar that will warn him to back away. The more determined the dog is to cross the line, the stronger the shock will be. Training With an Invisible Dog Fence The invisible fence should include training materials and yard flags to show the dog where his boundaries will be. The dog shouldn’t be expected to know those boundaries immediately. Expect the training process to take about 2 weeks. The dog will experience fewer shocks and warnings as he learns to play in his designated area. Don’t rely entirely on the invisible dog fence to restrict the dog until he is fully trained.
