How To Use A Wireless Dog Fence

By: Gen Wright

Not everyone has the energy to constantly run after a pet. If one has more than one pet, constant surveillance is well-nigh impossible. This is why electronic devices to keep your pet within safe limits become a necessity.

One of the implements that help to keep pets within a previously fixed radius is the wireless dog fence. The wireless dog fence works by sending a 17.5KHz radio signal around a transmitter unit, across a predetermined radius. The area across which the signal spreads is circular, but this shape can be manipulated by using a number of transmitters together.

The dog is made to wear a light collar - hardly 2.5 ounces in weight - which receives the signal being transmitted. As long as the signal is received, the dog is seen to be in the "safe" zone and the collar remains inactive. If the dog comes near the boundary of the "safe zone", however, it lets out a warning beep. And if the dog crosses the boundary, the collar generates a slight static correction - just enough to be uncomfortable, but not enough to harm. The correction continues for as long as the dog stays outside the boundary.

The same transmitter may be connected to an infinite number of collars. For the wireless dog fence to work properly, it needs to be set up according to the following stipulations:

• The transmitter must have access to AC power. It can be plugged into any 110V wall outlet, or into DC to AC inverters.

• For multiple-transmitter setups, two transmitters must be placed at 150 feet apart or less. (Note: do not worry about areas of intersection. Signal is automatically cancelled in these areas, allowing the dog to roam freely)

• The signal must be set up to the required perimeter, and flags placed along the perimeter. A large number of flags placed closely together is good for the training period, and slowly you can increase the perimeter - automatically decreasing the density of the flags.

• The level of correction in the transmitter must be set up to match your pet's tolerance. Initially, a "beep-only" training mode can be set up, during which you can train your pet with positive reinforcement to stay within boundaries, without resorting to the discomfort of the correction.

Once your pet has been trained to respond to the wireless dog fence, you can use it to take the pet anywhere. Just plug in the transmitter, set up a perimeter which seems safe, and let your pet roam around happily, while you stay in one place and relax.

One word of caution, though.

The wireless dog fence and collar setup is not meant to substitute a pet owner. While you can let your pet run free with the transmitter and collar set up, the machines do not give him/her the companionship and love that a human master will. So be prepared to take care of your pet just as you did before - just rest assured that there won't be as much running to do.
