How Underground Dog Fences Work


A Petsafe dog fence transmitter is located in your garage, covered patio, or basement and sends the signal through the wire concealed around the edge of your property. The wire sends a signal to a small receiver worn on your dogs collar. The Petsafe dog fence transmitter features advanced technology that includes visual and audio alarms to warn you if there's a problem. Petsafe electric dog fences are the safest underground dog fence on the market today.

With a PetSafe dog fence your dog can not only use the back yard, it can be in the front yard safe from traffic on the streets. Dogs are nosey animals and hate being stuck in the back yard where they can't see what's going on. A underground dog fence will change all that. When dogs are in the back, every sound they hear they think may be you, thus building up a lot of frustration. A underground dog fence allows your dog to go to the front yard and satisfy his curiosity, making your dog more calm. The front yard offers your dog entertainment and stimulation. He gets to see the mail man, the UPS truck, the trash men (their favorite), the school bus, and other things of interest including you when you arrive home. You can create "Off Limits" areas with your Non-Visible dog fence, such as a pool, or garden area. You can have your front yard separate from the back yard. If your dog runs out your open front door, he is still contained. Installation is easy. The buried wire boundary can be installed in virtually any configuration the owner chooses. Simply place the boundary wire in any configuration you choose.

When a dog approaches the boundary area, he receives a warning tone. After a two second delay, if the dog hasn't retreated, the tone is followed by a mild electrical stimulus, which is set to match his temperament. Most dogs learn to avoid the boundary area in a short time. Petsafe has a underground dog fence for every yard. Below are examples of dog fence yard layouts.
