Loosing the family pet is an agonizing experience and sparks debate about containment. When the decision is made, there are options depending on your neighborhood rules, type and size of compound and the type of animal you are dealing with. There is no universal solution to pet fencing. It calls for a customized approach based on your situation.

The reasons for installing containment range from health to reproductive, leash laws, courtesy and good neighborliness as well as housing covenants. You have the traditional options of wood, chain link and rail. A trend is emerging in many homes that has made wireless or underground fences very popular.

Wireless, invisible or underground fences require a combination of training, technology and electronics. These components must be installed by a professional who will also induct you into how to operate it. There are comparative cost benefits to consider as well as its advantage over traditional options. There are manufacturer cautions that should be known to the family and handlers to avoid injuries and malfunction.

There are considerations that have made invisible fences more popular than traditional ones. Some neighborhoods have very restrictive rules. In other areas, the size of the compound and installations done cannot accommodate the ordinary options. Pet owners need surety that their companions are safe. With the wireless fences, owning pets is a reality that does not elicit fear.

The comparative cost of underground fences and the traditional options has also driven its popularity higher. With less than 300 dollars you can successfully install an invisible fence in an area where it would cost you about 1400 dollars to install a chain link and 2000 to install a wooden fence. The overall maintenance cost is also low compared to traditional fences.

Underground fences are completed using three components namely underground wiring, a transmitter and the receiver. The pet is made to wear a light weight collar which acts as the receiver. The transmitter determines the area of coverage and correction for your system. This determination is done by a professional.

Enclosing swimming pools, flower gardens and vegetable patches can also be done using underground fences. It marks areas within the compound where the pets should not access. This maintains the beauty of the compound without erecting additional structures. It allows pets to roam freely without the danger of drowning or straying.

The collar works as a reminder that going past a certain section will cause harm. This means that you have to teach the pet where the boundaries lie. With physical fences, they can be seen. The invisible options restrict movement through shock. There is a warning that comes from the receiver which will cause the dog to retreat. It takes training to ensure that it retreats instead of freezing at the sound of the receiver.

Pets have a tendency of digging under or jumping over ordinary fences. In areas where pet and fencing rules are very strict, it may be difficult to contain the animals. With an invisible fence, you are at liberty to keep your pets without worrying about straying or obnoxious fines and penalties.
