Dog Fencing Solutions For Escaping Dogs

So your dog is getting out and you've had your first council fine. Or, you may have just paid the Vet bill after your dog was injured by a car. Both unpleasant scenarios to consider, but they happen daily around the country.  The next step for most dog owners is obviously to stop it happening again.

You may be thinking that installing your electric fence is all you need to do, unfortunetly that is not the case. The most important part of dog containment systems is the training...

If you have a dog that is prone to escaping your physical boundary no matter how many modifications you make, or you simply don’t have a physical boundary in place, an electric dog fence is one of the most reliable, cost effective and SAFE containment options to consider for your pets.

Do Electric Dog Fences Really Work?
Electric dog fences are an extremely effective way to prevent your dog from escaping when you choose a quality system based on your dogs to breed, physical characteristics, age and motivation to escape. Your property size, existing fences and how the dog is escaping will also help determine the right electric dog fence.

First of all, please note that when we talk about containment fence systems, electric dog fences, hidden dog fences, in-ground radio fences etc, we are effectively talking about the same thing.

Unless otherwise stated, all dog containment systems come with 150 metres of boundary wire. If you need to cover a larger area, you will need to add extra boundary kits to your dog fence...

Why is the training so important once you have installed your dog containment fence?

Simple answer, we want to teach the dog that approaching the restricted zone of your dog fence is better avoided and staying in the safe zone is the safest place to be! Imagine if you set your containment system up, whack on the collar and just let your dog figure it out.
