dog containment systems are products of great help for all those dog owners who care about the safety and happiness of their pets. These electronic systems work on the basis of the negative reinforcement training method; the transmitter placed inside the house sends a radio signal to the collar around the neck of the dog, and the collar issues aversive stimuli, like a beep of warning or a mild and painless electric shock. The aversive stimuli are delivered to the dog only in the case it approaches too much of the proximity sensors that border the containment area considered safe by the dog owner.
The proven rationale is that the dog will soon associate the unpleasant sensations provided by the aversive stimuli with the necessity to stop crossing the invisible boundary of the electronic fence
As millions of pet containment systems have already been sold in the whole world, millions of dog owners benefit of their results. These benefits include the following:.
• When your dog is free outside the containment area, diverse misfortunes can happen, like car accidents or animal quarrels, but inside it is safe. You will then be able to save on the psychological and financial costs of such accidents. The dog is protected in two ways. First, you will be alerted to the dog’s attempt to cross the line because of the large beep emitted by the collar, which can give you sufficient time to issue a verbal command or run after the dog or both.
Second, your dog will also be alerted by beep to stop in his tracks. The dog that ignores the warning beep will receive an electric shock that will scare it and stop. This will keep your dog out of the way of cars passing on the road or of other animals wandering around. Train your dog to come in house when it hears the warning beep.
• The electric shock produces a disagreeable sensation that the dog will really soon associate with its improper behavior. You can adjust the level of shock that will be delivered to your dog depending on its size, its temperament and the general circumstances surrounding the attempt to cross.
Such adjustability is necessary since your dog will require lesser amounts of electric shock as his training progresses. Over a period of time, when the dog got used to stop at the warning beep, you can set the minimum intensity of the electric shock, just to remember the dog it behaves badly.
• You will be able to avoid spending time, money and effort to build a material fence. You will also avoid spending on the maintenance and the additional real estate taxes required by the physical fences.
And because these are portable systems, you can easily designate the safe area in a few minutes’ time. After you have delimited the area where you want your dog to be contained, by placing the proximity sensors in some points of its borders, all you need to do is to set ON the transmitter of the dog containment system.
These dog containment systems allow pet owners to have peace of mind that their dogs have lesser risks to be exposed to accidents as well as lesser opportunities to run away, do damage on the neighbors’ property and get into other mischief outside of the house and certain areas of the yard
