There are a few pet owners who want to understand how an electric invisible fence works, and if it harms their dogs. An invisible fence gives off an electric shock, however this is not a true description and so projects a false image. Some animal right activists think that using any form of electrical training products are bad for dogs and so misrepresent all electric dog training methods.

In reality, if you take a close look at an electric PetSafe fence, you’ll find that they don’t harm dogs and are very effective. The shock delivered by an invisible fence is very mild and does not harm your pet, it is like a static shock not an electric shock. It is no different to the way the mother dog disciplines her pups. If a puppy is doing something which displeases the mother, she will give the puppy a nip on the neck. The puppy dog will quickly learn and starts to behave. This is exactly the same way an invisible dog fence works, when the dog attempts to get outside the boundary it gets a nip on the neck. It is not cruel but it is very effective.

Does your dog find it fun to climb over the fence or dig holes under it and escape, because this is a big problem for many dog owners. The problem is doubled if you have a dog which does not accept the conventional form of dog training and completely ignores any instructions you give it to stay within your back yard. So what are your options; don’t let the dog out or chain it up. In my opinion, you can’t get any more inhumane than that.

A dog fence is not cheap and so dog owners do not make a decision to buy these lightly. Only when a dog owner runs out alternative things to try, do they then turn to a dog fence. They want their pet to be able to frolic around outside, and if it is a guard dog then it is not that much of a deterrent if it is locked up inside. If a dog does escape it runs the risk of being run over if it gets out on the road and I have heard some people who get into a lot of hot water because their dogs escape and chase other pets or farm animals. Farmers have a real aversion to having stray dogs on their land and will quickly reach for their gun if they find one. So when you think about these problems, it makes the electric dog fence a very humane option.

The great news is that if you are looking for a dog fence, the new ones are very easy to set-up. You can have as many dogs as you want being contained by them, and they are unobtrusive.
