Be aware of what the risks are, and watch for any problems. If your dog reacts poorly to the fence, you may need to stop using it — know this going in, and be prepared to call it quits if necessary. So if you can — spring for a real, physical fence. You know your dog better than anyone else, and you also know what options are feasible for your living situation. Life is full of calculated risks.
Excellent analysis of invisible fence systems. I had an invisible fence for a brief time many many years ago. One of my dogs with high prey drive quickly learned if she ran fast enough she could get through the line before the shock. So it was not effective at containing my dog. So the fence hugely undermined the trust my dog had in me…trust that cannot easily be re-established!.
I also had a problem with a neighbor dog coming in my yard and attacking my dogs whenever it got loose. So the invisible fence offered absolutely no protection for my dogs from other dogs or wild animals or thieves , and actually made them more vulnerable, as they had no way to escape the attacking dog.
I also had a problem with the system shorting out frequently when there was a thunderstorm. So it was unreliable. And I have come to firmly believe that training a dog with electric shocks is inhumane and totally inappropriate. Yes, some dogs do fine with an invisible fence, but I would never again risk it with any of mine.
There are way too many serious risks and downsides. So sorry to hear about your bad experiences! Lots of potential issues. It has to hurt enough to dissuade the dog from approaching the boundary line again in the future, even if they would otherwise be highly motivated to leave the yard. Over the years a number of other fosters and I have discussed the merits of invisible fencing to protect dogs and the predominant conclusion is that it does not.
In short, you have to do your homework! Many dogs do poorly with them, for a variety of reasons. So do your homework, and be aware of the risks.
He was an easy-going, unaggressive dog with little to no prey drive. He was never left outside if we were gone, and he never went out alone after dark, because there are coyotes here. It worked like a dream for six or seven years, but eventually he figured out some way to slip through.. But yes, even these guys can eventually learn how to get out of the yard if they want to. This is a great point, so thanks for bringing it up! Electric fences are illegal in Europe.
Agreed that there are significant ethical issues with causing pain or fear to any dog in the name of training. Europe is more advanced than we are here in the US, in many respects. I have had mixed results with clients who use this method of containment. One client called me after the unit inside the house malfunctioned and never shut off, so the dog was screaming under the car and truly traumatized.
The vet in that case was worried the dog would end up losing the leg the current traveled to the ground through nerve damage , but he came right after about months. In another case, a foster was placed, trained to the fence correctly and still went through it to grab a toy dog on a lead as it passed her property. I have several clients who have used them successfully. When the dog gets too close to the buried wire, the transmitter sends a signal to the collar, which administers a correction to the dog.
The transmitter must be mounted in a dry area close to an electrical outlet, where it is plugged in. The collar uses an alkaline battery that must be periodically replaced. The key to success with an underground fence is training. All underground fencing systems come with instructions on how to train your dog or cat to respect the fence. Boundary training is the first step, and involves teaching your dog to use a visual cue in the form of a flag to determine how far he can go before the collar emits a warning tone.
Training at this stage involves keeping your dog on a leash, and rewarding him with treats and praise when he stays within the allowed area. Eventually, your dog is introduced to the electronic correction when he strays beyond the acceptable boundary.
Collars that work with underground fences can be set at different levels, depending on your dog's sensitivity. Some dogs only need a mild correction, while others require a stronger message.
Underground fencing systems can only be used with dogs who weigh at least 8 pounds. Dogs who weigh less than this are too small to support the weight of the collar. Puppies must be at least 8 weeks old to be contained by the underground fence, and should know some basic commands to learn the fence training. While most dogs respect the fence once they learn the connection between crossing the boundary and getting a correction, an occasional dog will accept the correction as the price for crossing the fence and getting off the property.
In these cases, you can try retraining the dog to the fence with the help of a professional dog trainer.
