Any dog owner who wants to keep his dog within a secure area needs to use a type of dog containment systems, electronic or else. These electronic products are basically composed of a radio waves transmitter placed inside the house or in the middle of the established perimeter that will trigger the collar around the dog’s neck to deliver it aversive stimuli, such as a warning beep followed by a safe, mild and painless electric shock. All this electronic system is in stand by when the owner is not at home and it triggers if the dog attempts crossing the boundaries of the containment area.

As the dog is an intelligent animal, it will soon recognize the boundaries of the perimeter its owner established, and will stop approaching these boundaries that it will quickly associate to the unpleasant feelings provided by those aversive stimuli.

These dog containment systems have numerous benefits that millions of pet owners have enjoyed and continues to enjoy. Here we overview some of these benefits.

• Your dog will have better protection against road accidents, animal run-ins and other possible mishaps borne of being outside a designated safe area. These accidents and mishaps imply financial and psychological costs that you will be spared of. The electronic device acts in two diffent ways to keep the dog inside the secured area. You can firstly use the device to train the dog, commanding it to stop when it approaches the perimeter line and the collar beeps.

Second, your dog will also be alerted by beep to stop in his tracks. In a few seconds after the beep, the collar will issue a mild electric shock that will stop the dog if it continued to approach the established boundaries. You dog will then not go into the road in the line of passing cars or not be engaged in fights with other animals. The dog will eventually head towards the house after receiving some of these mild but unpleasant electric shocks.

• Most of the dogs are smart enough to associate their bad behaviour with the unpleasant consequences after one only shock. After a few adjustements, you will be able to set the proper intensity for the electric shocks to be delivered.

Such adjustability is necessary since your dog will require lesser amounts of electric shock as his training progresses. For example, during the initial stages of use, you can set the shock at its maximum setting and then lower it to the minimum setting when your dog has been trained to respond to the beep alone.

• The set up of physical dog containment systems like fences made from wood, stone and metal is more expensive. Keep in mind, too, that these physical fences require maintenance expenses including additional real property taxes, which is in contrast with wired and wireless electronic systems known colloquially as invisible fences.

Moreover, you can easily designate the safe area because the electronic dog containment are portable systems. Just install and set up the transmitter in the middle of the place you want to contain the dog.

Due to the electronic dog containment systems your dog will be less exposed to accidents and will have less opportunities to run away.
