THIS IS AWESOME! My favorite dog trainer and dog whisperer of all time has just released a free video online explaining how to eliminate 94% of all unwanted behavior in ANY dog. Her name is Krista Cantrell and I absolutely LOVE the way she teaches. Click on the video to watch. You'll be glad you did...

If you’re researching about pet containment systems, you must know it’s a safe and cost-effective way to keep your pets at home - without the need to hire people or rent machinery to dig up your property. The traditional set up with fences involves exactly that - physical boundaries - but the modern pet containment system uses buried wires around your yard, instead of fence posts. A device sends radio signals through the wires in the ground. The wires broadcast, on either side, from two (2) to twelve (12) feet depending on the setting you choose.

In this set up, your dog wears a special receiver collar that has a device attached to it. This device has nodes or contact points that must be in touching your dog’s neck’s skin. When the dog wearing that collar approaches the boundaries - the buried wires - the collar emits a warning tone followed by a mild, low volt static correction.

Don’t you worry about the shock - it’s harmless; it’s no more painful than walking on a carpet and then touching a doorknob.

Setting up a pet containment system in this manner is easy. You can easily buy one from any online dog supply store, or from a pet supply shop near you. There may be slight variations, but most packages will include the wires, the receiver collar (at least one), marker flags, and the broadcast device.

You will also get an instruction manual on how to set up the invisible dog fence system. But if you shopped online, the good product websites usually contain videos walking you through how to choose pet containments systems, how to install it on your property, and how to train your dog. These videos are no longer than five minutes, which you can watch over and over again, and pause at critical parts. These videos are a must, especially for those who might find technical instruction manuals overly complex.

Your dog’s training is crucial to this pet containment system. After you install the buried wires, power up the radio signal broadcast device, and test the collar’s response to wires (you only have to listen to the warning tone, you don’t have to wait and get shocked), you can proceed to putting your dog on a leash, snug-fitting the receiver collar on him, and walking him to the boundaries. You then need to put your dog on a leash and bring it close to the wires - it should be wearing the receiver collar by then. The proper response is staying away from the marker flags, or the boundary wires, and staying inside the perimeter.
