Introduction to the K-9 Electronic Dog Containment Fence System

The K-9 Electronic Dog Containment Fence System is a method of pet containment that keeps your dog safely contained within an area you designate without the need for any physical barriers.

An electronic dog containment system is made up of three parts: the transmitter, a hidden wire that carries and broadcasts the radio signal, and the receiver electric collar. Your dog wears the electric collar which receives the radio signal from the underground, containment fence wire that goes around your yard. When your dog approaches the underground fence, the signal is picked up by the electronic collar and a high pitched warning tone is heard by the dog.

In addition to this audible signal, flags are positioned in the containment fence area to provide visual cues. If the dog continues in the direction of the hidden, underground wire, AFTER hearing the warning tone, the dog will receive a mildly unpleasant shock (similar to the sensation you feel touching a metal door after walking on the carpet).

Through Incremental Distraction Training and the reminder cues of the flags and audible warning tone, the dog learns to avoid the designated area no matter what is on the other side of the containment area. The key defining factor in the success of an electronic dog containment fence system is professional training.
