An electric dog fence system is an innovative way to solve the age old problem of the dog that will not stay in his own yard. Are you tired of chasing your dog down the street every time you open the front door? Do you have the dog on a tie out or run who digs holes in your yard because he is bored? Do you have a physical fence that your dog climbs over or digs out of? And do you have flower gardens that you would like to keep your dog out of?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, an electric dog fence is the answer! Our electric fences for dogs offer state of the art features guaranteed to keep your favorite escape artist in his yard. Don’t fence yourself, fence your pet and save yourself a significant sum of money versus professional installers such as Invisible Fence, DogWatch or PetStop. Do it yourself pet fences are easy to install when you purchase from Electric Dog Fence.

How does it work?

An electric fence for dogs consists of three components: wire buried around the perimeter of your yard, a transmitter box (which controls how close your dog can get to the buried wire), and a collar for each dog you wish to contain. The perimeter wire must make a continuous loop or circuit. Unlike a physical fence, your electric dog fence cannot start and stop in random places. There are many ways to layout an electric dog fence. We recommend that you plan your layout prior to beginning the burial of the perimeter wire. Please consult our installation guide for layout suggestions and detailed instructions.

You control how close to the perimeter wire you would like your dog to go. Typically, your dog will stop about three feet from the buried wire. Your dog will hear an audible warning tone (designed to alert him that he is getting close to his boundary) before his collar would give him a static correction. The static correction is designed to alert your dog that he is at the end of his boundary. It will not hurt your dog in any way. The correction is designed to alert your dog, not hurt him. Please note, the level of correction is adjustable on most systems we sell.

Are you putting more than one dog on an electric dog fence? No problem. You can have as many dogs, cats or a mixture of both as you would like. The only factor that is the same for all animals is how close they can get to the boundary wire. Each dog or cat’s correction level is determined by his own receiver collar.

We recommend using training flags to help your dog understand his new boundaries. The training flags are very important in places where there are few visual cues, such as a driveway, sidewalk, or an open grass area. The training flags are not permanent. Your dog will learn his new boundaries in about two weeks. Once your dog is familiar with his boundaries, you will remove the training flags in stages. You will work with your dog during the training period. Our training protocol was developed by dog training experts. It is easy to follow yet highly effective.
