Training Your Dog to Stay Inside Your Electronic Dog Fence

Dog Fence should never be taken as a replacement for training your dog. In order to make your invisible fence effective in teaching your dog, time and patience is necessary. Aside from that, you need to follow strict rules and guidelines to make the invisible fence system work effectively.

Using the invisible dog fence training to teach your dog about his boundaries can be done on your own or with professional dog training help. You need to consider this closely, since with or without professional trainer, you need to be hands-on with this process especially when the trainer is not around.

In order for your dog to recognize an invisible fence, it will cost you time and patience. However, when both you and your dog become accustomed to this system, it should be easy then.

This training system could span from 2-6 weeks, depending on how fast your dog can learn.

You can initially setup the training by placing small red flags along where you have buried the cable. If you are using Wireless Dog Fence the flags will be put in the ground along the circular perimeter where the collar starts beeping. The tiny flags will signal the dog where his boundaries are. To prevent shocking your dog at this stage of the training, you must cover the prongs on the collar with a tape.

Whenever your dog is out, allow him enough freedom to roam around the boundaries. A warning beep will start off whenever it goes beyond the area, so this will ensure the dog stays within the boundaries. As soon as you hear the beep, bring your dog back and praise him for following your instructions.

Do this exercise throughout the day so the dog can get accustomed to this setup and will immediately back off when the warning beep is activated.

Once you have allowed the dog to be acquainted with this system, you can now remove the tape from the prongs on the collar to allow the shock. If you are worried about your dog, the shock is not painful but enough to alert the dog and cause him to return.

It works the same way as static shock wherein you feel a twinge of sensation but not enough to inflict pain. You need to make necessary adjustments for the amount of shock your dog will receive, according to its size and level of response.

However, every dog owner must be aware that not all shock collars can be adjusted so make sure to purchase those with adjustable settings. And whenever your dog goes out, check the collar to correct the shock level, just in case it reaches the border.

When you remove the cover from the collar prongs, make sure not to remove the leash at the same time. Keep the leash on your dog whenever he explores the area within the invisible fence.
