In-Ground and Wireless Dog Fences for Affenpinschers

The days of seeing those ugly gray chain link fences for dogs are slowly coming to an end thanks to innovative new invisible dog fence and containment products on the market. No one, including your Affenpinscher wants to reside behind a fence. Typical dog fences tend to squash that feeling of freedom and openness that being outside provides. Now, your Affenpinscher can feel like the king of his domain when you use a wireless dog fence or an in-ground dog fence. So it you see tiny flags instead of hideous fences, know that this is an indicator of an in-ground electronic dog fence (or electric dog fence). Electronic dog fences are much more cost effective to install and cost much less than a traditional fence. Also, you are not stuck with an unsightly fence in your yard. It only takes a quick installation and a couple of training sessions with you Affenpinscher to get started. After that, the dog fence safely does the hard work of keeping your Affenpinscher at home (or close to home).

The Types of Invisible Dog Fences Available

There are a few primary types of invisible dog fences available on the market for you to use to contain your Affenpinscher. Typically, most top manufacturers like Innotek, Perimeter and PetSafe have a basic configuration, deluxe products and dog fences with training features built in.

• In-Ground Dog Fences: These are great for large yards (sometimes up to 25 acres) and are easy to install. Simply connect the buried wire loop to the indoor radio transmitter. When your Affenpinscher approaches the wire, he will receive a harmless static charge to discourage him from crossing the boundary. As the dog learns, he rarely approaches the boundary in a short period of time. Simple and effective Affenpinscher containment.

• Wireless or Radio Dog Fences: These fences work in conjunction with a radio transmitter that you plug into the wall. The further your Affenpinscher goes away from the transmitter, the static charge on the collar increases as a warning to return home. Wireless dog fences work well for smaller areas, such as small yards or even inside the house or RV.

Both types of dog fences are completely safe and humane for your Affenpinscher, so you don’t have to worry about that! They use a slight static charge to correct the dogs behavior. There is no chance of electrocution, as the lightweight waterproof collars use a small lithium battery to generate the charge. Read the rest of this entry »
