Get An Electronic Dog Fence For Your Bird Dogs

We all worry about our gun dogs and their safety.  Concerns about what could happen if your dog was to escape from your yard and wander the neighborhood are normal.

Even the best-behaved dog is going to create havoc when running loose: even if it’s just digging holes or eating rotten things out of the street.  Sometimes they just come home parents-to-be.   

Most people who have a dog elect to put up a normal fence of wood or chain link.  They usually discover, sooner or later, that the fences are not only an eye-sore, but dogs are escape artists and will likely find a way over or under (or through) that fence eventually.  You need an alternative solution to allow your dog to safely roam the yard without the worry of escaping and getting into trouble. 

Today, more and more responsible dog owners are electing to use an electric dog fence, which is designed to keep your dog safely in your yard.  Some people feel that these systems are inhumane because they correct your dog’s errant behavior by jolting him with a small electrical charge.  The fact of the matter is that these electric systems actually are designed to not harm your dog, instead they provide a ‘reminder’ that they are going into areas that they should not be going into. 

Electronic dog fences are actually a blessing in disguise for dog owners who do not want the unsightly ‘typical’ fence since all of the wiring is actually buried in the ground (only a few inches down).  This wiring actually establishes your dog’s boundaries and is controlled by a transmitter.  These transmitters can be located anywhere on your property that is convenient for you.  The theory is that the wire in the ground receives the signal from the transmitter and if your dog decides to jump his boundaries, he gets a small electrical jolt from a specially designed collar that contains a receiver. 

Some of the original electric dog fences failed easily since your dog could run right through the boundary, suffer a slight shock and keep going since the shock was momentary.  Innotek however, has designed a system that will contain your dog safely and effectively even slightly outside the boundary. 

Innotek electric fences also feature increasing levels of electronic stimulation so that you can set lower level shocks for when your dog approaches his boundaries. And for more stubborn dogs who go past the boundary, you can set levels of shock for a set range beyond the boundaries for added safety.   

More new models from Innotek have rapidly made many electric fences obsolete.  Larger, more effective size and range for fence parameters are one big improvement.  Even the lower-end systems allow up to five acres of coverage while the top-of-the-line Innotek 2100D covers up to 25 acres! 

Another challenge that was faced by many dog owners is what to do about multiple dogs, but Innotek has also addressed that concern by allowing you to purchase additional collars for use with the electric fence system.
