Review on 🐕 PetSafe Classic In-Ground Fence for Dogs and Cats - Invisible Fence Brand - Includes 500 ft of Wire - Expandable Coverage up to 5 Acres by Brenda Mitchell

There are different types of training collars, bark collars, training collars and fence collars. You can also see them with and without the shock function. I personally do not recommend electrodeless collars unless the dog is already experienced with ECT. Most people are unhappy with using the shock feature because they either try it on themselves first or are just too scared of hurting their pet. The shocking function will feel much stronger on a human, so this isn't a real comparison, and shock collars aren't designed to harm pets either, just get their attention. Most dogs are also easily frightened, for example I trained my Yorkie with one and used a level just enough to get her attention. I then tried the collar on my sister's much larger dog with the same low setting and it overreacted, some dogs just flinched slightly where you think it hurts. Even though the collar is designed for dogs of different sizes, always start at the lowest level. In my experience, if you try to train a dog without shocking him, he just won't learn. Another thing that most people don't know is that the shock feature is used very, very rarely after its first fix. Even if you think your dog is being a bit silly, he will learn very quickly that being electrocuted is no fun. This feature is only used once for each fix you want them to learn, maybe twice if they didn't figure out what they went wrong the first time. Electrocuting too much or not at the right time is also not good because it just confuses them. Both shock and non-shock devices will beep and vibrate. It is very important to use them correctly, they will beep or vibrate first before shocking. The dog needs to learn that a beep or vibration means a hit is coming, a beep or vibration is not what startles the dog but what happens after. Because of this, the beep and vibration are useless unless you use a shock collar first. Bark collars are designed to correct bad barks and are usually triggered automatically by sound. Training collars are user controlled and designed to prevent misbehavior. They can also be used in place of a fence, but the dog will eventually notice that nothing happens when you're not around. Fence collars are barriers that automatically control the collar to prevent the dog from exiting. This collar uses all three methods: it beeps and vibrates when the dog approaches the barrier, and it shocks when he passes it. Installing a fence takes a little effort, but it's worth it. You just find a good outlet to plug in a power plant and then build a fence out of wire. The wire that goes in and out of the yard needs to be twisted so it doesn't work with the collar, this is explained in the instructions or can be seen in online video tutorials. The wire should be set slightly lower and the flags act as temporary markers to give you and your dog an idea of the fence line. I recommend watching the videos to go through the collar testing procedures in detail. Overall the kit looks complete based on what you need for an invisible fence. In addition, dogs quickly learn the importance of a collar. The dog will know that once the collar is off it can run away because nothing will happen. This means if you want your dog to leave the fence, you must first remove the collar. This also means that you cannot expect your dog to always respect the fence. If you choose to remove the collar, he may not immediately challenge you, but will as soon as he notices. can be confusing for a dog who has never had collar training experience. I highly recommend purchasing an inexpensive training collar to quickly teach your dog the various warnings before moving on to this one. This will eliminate confusion or fear. Dogs usually know when they are misbehaving so they understand why they are being corrected. Occasional corrections let them know that what they just did by going over the fence is something you don't want. It'll just make everything a lot easier.
