Using an electric collar for a fence

Electric collars are a great way to keep your dog in your yard. In an electrical yard kit you will find an electric collar, wiring and a system that controls the shock and wire as a fence. When your dog goes over the wire, the shock of the electric collar will take place. It can be a big or little shock. I recommend that you position the system so that the dog receives a medium shock. Usually the dog will yelp but after that it will be careful. Along with the wire, electric collar and system there will be flags. These flags tell your dog where it can and can not go. They should be lined up around the perimeter of the area that you want your dog to roam in.

The electric collar may seem harsh depending on how many times it takes your dog to find the designated area. However they are not needed forever. Once the dog realizes where it can and can not go it may or may not need the electric collar.Some dogs will always need the collar on. Using an electric collar will help save you the hassle of roping your dog and it will also allow the dog to roam throughout your entire yard. On the other hand you can designate your dog to go where you want it to without confining it. Some dog's may react differently than others to the shock but dog's are tough and the shock can be controlled. To make sure your dog is not shocked too hard. Use discretion on how high you set the shock level depending on the dogs size.
