How Gentle Is The Electric Dog Fence?
There are some people who are not sure if a dog fence, which uses an electric collar, is humane. An invisible fence gives off an electric shock, however this is not a true description and so projects a false image. On the other hand, there are people who campaign against any form of stick and carrot method to train a dog and who misunderstand how electronic training devices really work.

When you study how a wireless or underground PetSafe fence works, you will understand how humane they are. The electric shock is not like sticking your fingers in a plug socket, it is more like brushing against some nylon and getting a static shock and the idea is to get your pet to take notice. It works the same way as a mum dog will correct her puppies. Should her puppy mess around and annoy the mother, the mother will chastise the puppy by nibbling it around the neck. The pup gets the message very quickly and changes its behavior appropriately. A wireless or underground dog fence takes the place of the mother dog; when the dog looks to go beyond the boundary, it experiences a little nip to the neck. No harm comes to the pet, and it works well at keeping it within the boundary.
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. What makes the situation worse is having a pet dog that is difficult to train, is very disobedient and if anything feel that they are the master of you and so takes no notice of your instructions about not escaping over the fence. Therefore, if your dog does not stay in the back yard you are left with 2 choices, you can tie the dog up, or you keep the dog shut up indoors. In my opinion, you can’t get any more inhumane than that.
Because a dog fence cost quite a bit of money, dog owners put a lot of thought into it before buying one. So you find them buying a dog fence as they do not have any other options, especially if their pet dog doubles up as a guard dog because you want them to patrol your grounds. If your dog does escape, putting aside the hassle of trying to find it, your dog could be at risk from injury from a motor vehicle or even worse if it runs after animals on a farm. If a farmer catches a dog chasing his animals, then he has every right to shoot it dead. 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. They serve an unlimited number of dogs, and as they are out of sight, they do not clutter your garden
