The Petsafe wireless fence is a very innovative pet containment product that is taking the pet industry by storm. It is a great product that ensures the safety and security of your pet without the difficult setup process often required by other pet containment products.
Here are some questions that are frequently asked by people who are unfamiliar with the product.
How does the Petsafe wireless containment device work?
It makes use of radio technology and state of the art electronics in order to establish boundaries for your pet. It is comprised out of two parts, the transmitter and the collar. The transmitter emits a signal to the specially designed collar worn by your pet. If the pet strays a certain distance away from the transmitter, the pet feels a tingling sensation from the collar. This makes the pet stop and return back to the transmitter in order to make the tingling sensation go away. Some pet owners place flags within the outward range of the transmitter in order to let the pets identify it as an imaginary boundary.
How strong is the tingling sensation felt by the pet from the Petsafe collar?
You can adjust the intensity of the tingling sensation felt by your pet. You do not need to set it at the strongest setting. All you need is to set it at a level strong enough that it would make your pet uncomfortable.
Will my pet feel any pain from the petsafe wireless dog fence?
Many pet owners shy away from using the Petsafe collar because they think their pets will be harmed. This is not true. Pets who wear the Petsafe collar only feels discomfort from the collar if they stray a certain range away from the Petsafe transmitter. The discomfort is enough to train your pet to not stray away from the designated area.
What are the benefits offered by Petsafe wireless fences?
Petsafe wireless fencing offers a lot of benefits. Here is a list of some of those benefits.
- If you have a particularly large dog, you have to invest heavily to build a sturdy fence that can prevent the dog from straying away from the safety of your home. Whether it is a wooden fence or a wire mesh fence, you need to spend a lot of money in order to build it for your dog. If you use a Petsafe containment collar, not only will you be able to save money, you also will be saved the hassle of building the fence
- The Petsafe containment collar trains your dog to consciously keep itself within the safe area of your home. This enables the dog to ignore the urge to chase after various things that may lead to them being run over by cars on the road.
- Dogs feel bad if they are confined in a traditional fence because they tend to be claustrophobic. With a Petsafe collar, they do not feel that they are confined because the only thing keeping them within an area is a discomforting feeling on their neck.
