Pet Containment Systems: A Brief Overview

By Paul Burrows

Nowadays, thanks to technology, dog owners are able to contain their pets to a safe area with practical hi-tech pet containment systems.

Kinds of Dog Containment Systems

These systems can be either electronic wired or wireless.

The wired version of the pet containment system involves a collar and a transmitter. An invisible fence is installed by burying a wire in the desired limits of the dog containment area. The transmitter is then placed anywhere near the wiring, and thus the circle is completed and ready to detect the dog's collar. Powered by a rechargeable battery, the containment system then warns the dog through a sound when this one is approaching the invisible fence. If the dog tries to cross the invisible fence, even after being warned, then a mild and harmless static electric shock will be administered through the collar.

The wireless system works similarly but it doesn't involve the problem of wiring the system. Every single dog containment system comes with a training DVD that will let you understand how the system works and how to use it to train your dog.

Advantages of Getting A Pet Containment System

Being confined to the boundaries set/customized by you, your dog is protected from trespassers and vehicles plying on the road. Spending fortunes on fines and the episodes of escapades and intent searches are no longer a necessity with pet containment systems in place at your home. They are effective and affordable when compared to electric fences.

It also takes very little time and training to get results. These pet containment systems are very versatile too, since you can make them adopt almost any size or form that you want, and you don't need to restrict to certain standards. Trenches and pits will be a thing of the past.

Moreover, any number of dogs can be contained with one of these pet containment systems. Your dog and your guests will be safe, even if you're not home. - 29953
