subject: Pet Fencing Wiki - Some Problems With Traditional Wooden Fencing [print this page] Many pet owners would like for their pets to stay at home, if they could find a way to keep them there without making them feel imprisoned. Some dogs, for instance, gallivant around the neighbourhood and even come home, if they ever, with wounds and perhaps fleas from other dogs. The last thing you want is for you dog to get hit by a car and later hear about from a neighbour. Traditional wooden fences is one way to keep your pets inside your property. But there are some disadvantages to having this kind of pet fencing system.
It's possible one could underestimate the resourcefulness of dogs, and forget they might find ways to scale the fence or squeeze through it. That fence and the dog's enthusiasm or desperation could end up hurting that animal. Consider also that not many have the extra time or skill to put up the wooden fences themselves. You may have to do most of the shopping for the materials and tools yourself. Each post - one-third of each post's length - has to be buried securely, and you need a digger equipment to do that safely. Despite your efforts, you have no guarantee the dog will not be able to hurt himself while trying to get over or through the fence you erected.
You don't necessarily have to do all these yourself, you could hire help. But for some who are only renting, and who do not own their home, it might be prohibited to conduct such digging. Some people live in areas where ordinances prevent them from building such a set up.
Invisible pet containment systems can do the job better, without ruining the landscape and costing you fees in violations of those rules. Pet fencing can work in several ways, all keeping your pet safe inside a perimeter. The kind of set up most employed makes use of wires buried around a perimeter. As with many other fencing systems of this type, it also uses a collar your dog is to wear. Any animal wearing that collar, when it nears the boundaries, hears a warning sound. Should the animal keep walking past the boundaries, it receives a mild corrective shock.
Another kind of pet fencing makes use of no wires buried around the "fenced" in area. The system relies of the reach of radio signals and the collar the central radio source senses when the dog tries to leave the marked area. Should the dog try to escape from the perimeter, the collar also sends out a warning prior to a static correction.
Training your dog to mind the warning and heed the shocks are needed. Whatever the cast, it is up to the dog owner.
