dog containment systems are products of great help for all those dog owners who care about the safety and happiness of their pets. Conceived on the basis of the negative reinforcement training method, these electronic systems are composed of a central unit, which receives signals from the proximity sensors and commands through radio waves the collar fixed around the dog’s neck to deliver it either a warning sound or a mild, safe and painless electric shock. The aversive stimuli are delivered to the dog only in the case it approaches too much of the proximity sensors that border the containment area considered safe by the dog owner.

The proven rationale is that the dog will soon associate the unpleasant sensations provided by the aversive stimuli with the necessity to stop crossing the invisible boundary of the electronic fence

Until today, millions of dog owners have bought pet containment systems in order to enjoy their advantages. These benefits include the following:.

• The dogs are better protected against various mishaps, like road accidents or animal run-ins that can happen when they are outside the safe area. You will save this way the time, trouble and money dealing with these accidents involve. The dog is protected in two ways. Firstly, the beep issued by the collar is loud enough, so you can hear it and command your dog to stop or come back.

Second, your dog will also be alerted by beep to stop in his tracks. The dog that ignores the warning beep will receive an electric shock that will scare it and stop. You dog will then not go into the road in the line of passing cars or not be engaged in fights with other animals. Train your dog to come in house when it hears the warning beep.

• The electric shock produces a disagreeable sensation that the dog will really soon associate with its improper behavior. Adjust the intensity of the electric shock to be issued by the collar in accordance with the size and type of behavior of your dog.

Such adjustability is necessary since your dog will require lesser amounts of electric shock as his training progresses. After a few weeks your dog will get used to stop when it hears the sound of warning, and then you can set the minimum level of intensity for the electric shocks to be delivered just in case.

• Pet owners need not spend large amounts of time, effort and money to set up physical dog containment systems like fences made from wood, stone and metal. You will also avoid spending on the maintenance and the additional real estate taxes required by the physical fences.

You don’t need another system for another safe containment place, just move the transmitter on the center of the new containment area and install the sensors on its borders. After you have delimited the area where you want your dog to be contained, by placing the proximity sensors in some points of its borders, all you need to do is to set ON the transmitter of the dog containment system.

These dog containment systems allow pet owners to have peace of mind that their dogs have lesser risks to be exposed to accidents as well as lesser opportunities to run away, do damage on the neighbors’ property and get into other mischief outside of the house and certain areas of the yard
