A
wire dog fence can contain a dog, keeping your pet safe in your yard.
One of the biggest concerns for pet owners is how to keep them safe.
Dogs want to run and play. Adding a visible fence is an expensive
alternative. When this is not an option, consider the method of burying
a wire underground that transmits a signal to a receiver in the dog’s
collar.
A wire fence requires you to install or lay the wire underground.
The most economical option for most budgets is a kit that includes
the needed supplies. Some specifications on the kits include:
• The acreage that the kit will cover in terms of wire to be
laid.
• The size of dog (in pounds) that the kit will normally be
successful with.
• Transmitter range can vary from kit to kit. A small kit might
cover an acre; a larger one may cover five acres.
If you are interested in a wire dog fence, it is best to consider
your dog’s size and temperament as well as your property. Some
hills and slopes may not work well for transmitting a signal. Do your
research and consider your situation before investing in a wire dog
fence.
