Dog Fences - Do They Work?
Dog fences are the perfect solution for someone looking to keep a dog safely contained in a garden in Ireland. Their simple set up and effectiveness make them a necessity for any dog owner. Whether you need one to stop your dog chasing sheep or to stop them digging up your newly-planted flowers, these fences will make life much easier for you.
The set up is easy. Firstly install the wire around the perimeter. Then put the transmitter in the house or the shed. This sends a signal along the wire. The receiver is in the dog collar. The collar then receives a signal when the dog approaches the border.
Will A Dog Fence Hurt My Pet?
No is the answer, our fence will not hurt your dog. Of course the shock may be a little uncomfortable and startling, but it has to be in order to work effectively. If there was no consequences for approaching the boundary then the fence would not be capable of keeping your dog in your garden.
Your dog wearing the collar around the house for a few days will help him to get used to it. This helps to disassociate the idea of containment with the collar. If you have done this and your dog gets outside without the collar he will not be as likely to make a run for it as he will still think he will be shocked.
The only thing that may hurt your pet is the collar itself. Leaving the collar on for more than twelve hours is the only time this really becomes an issue. You should check your dog’s neck daily to ensure that there is no irritation. If he has a thick coat you may need to trim back some of his fur before applying the collar. The probes on the collar must be making contact with skin in order for the electric dog collar to work correctly. If you can insert a finger under each of the probes the collar is likely on properly. If you cannot then the collar may be too tight.
Is There Much Training Involved?
Setting up a dog fence in Ireland is not as hard as it seems. The most effective way to implement this system is to spend time training your dog to use the electric fence. This helps to make sure that your pet understands the concept of the pet fence and learns to stay away from it. This will also help to deter swiftly moving dogs from making a run for it. Furthermore, it will prevent a dog from wearing out the batteries by sitting near the boundary, as they will learn that this is wrong.
Will This Type of Collar Work On My Dog?
Yes, once the pet fence is correctly set up and the dog is properly trained this system will work. Dog’s of all sizes, breeds, ages and temperaments have been successfully trained to use this type of fence.
We offer collars to fit small, medium, large and extra large dogs. Any type of dog from a chihuahua to a german shepherd can be trained to use these fences.
However, an improper setup or training will prevent the fence from working properly. It is essential you follow the instructions we have provided on how to do both of these.
Wireless Dog Fence for Multiple Dogs
Our electric fences can easily keep multiple dogs safely within your garden. If family or friends have our system your collar will automatically work on their system with no extra set-up involved. This makes going on holidays much easier as your family can safely look after your dog without you having to worry about providing cages.
On our website we have the option of adding additional electric dog collars if required. This means that if you have two or more dogs you can safely leave them in your garden to play together while you go to work. With this setup dogs will have the freedom to do as they wish rather than being stuck indoors all day long. This means that your dogs will stay much healthier and happier than one permanently indoors.
Electric Dog Fence Across Driveway
Setting up a dog fence in Ireland underneath a driveway is nowhere near as complicated as it sounds. If you have a tarmac drive you could use a console in order to dig a narrow trench. This only needs to be a few inches deep in order to place the pet fence down. If you have a gravel drive bury a piece of insulating pipe with the wire inside. This ensures that the fence maintains full functionality while allowing you to safely drive in and out of your house. Thus leaving your gate open will no longer mean that your dog has an easy escape route.
Electric Dog Fence for Small Dogs or Large Dogs
We have specified electric dog collars for small dogs such as chihuahuas, cavalier king charles, jack russell and springer spaniel sized dogs. We also have larger dog shock collars for collie, german shepard and great dane sized dogs. No matter the size of your dog we most likely have a fence that will keep them in your garden. There is also, as mentioned above, the option of getting two different sized collars for use on the same fence.
Dog Shock Collar for a Large Area
No matter what size your garden is, dog fences are an easy way to keep your dog in your garden. For a particularly large garden you may need an extra mains unit. You may use as many rolls of wire as you wish in order to keep your dog safely in your garden.
The benefit of the type of fence we sell is that it can cover a specific and defined area. This is unlike other types of dog fences available. This means that your dog can be kept exactly where it is safe and where you want him to be.
