Underground fences for pets have become fashionable to pet owners. These hidden fences are not actually a fence. It is a term used for a radio-signaled device used by pet owners as a containment system.

Depending on the type of system, this device operates with the use of a wire installed underground or above ground that transmits a radio signal to a receiver collar worn by the dog.

When the collar gets within range of the boundary, it emits a warning tone audible to the dog. When the collar crosses the boundary, it emits a signal that causes a static-like shock.

This type of containment has been used in states that have dog containment laws. Since pet owners can’t let their pets wander the neighborhood freely, the latter should be kept in cages or contained with the use of a traditional physical fence or an underground fence.

Unlike the traditional fence, underground fences are easy to install and maintain. They are less expensive than putting up a fence or chain link fences. You can use a hidden fence to surround areas that you want to protect such as your pool or garden without having to add an unsightly fence.

This system is usually acceptable with neighborhood associations that don’t approve physical fences. This is also a great alternative if your don’t want a physical fence to hinder your view of the neighborhood. This type of system can likewise keep dogs out of certain area or rooms inside your home.

Training is necessary in using this type of fence. When the dog learns to return to the yard after hearing the tone, reward it with a treat or praise. After about a week, try off leash training. Slowly, the dog will learn its boundaries.
