There are three types of fences available to your pet, Inground fencing, Instant Fencing also known as a Wireless Fence, and Indoor Fencing. The purpose of this website is to give you the best information to help you decide which fence is the best fence for your dog. First you should consider why an electronic fence is important to you and your dog.

Why Choose use an Electric Fence?

With an electric fence, the dog can be in the front yard. Dogs are nosey animals and hate being stuck in the back yard where they can't see what's going on. When dogs are in the back, every sound they hear they think may be you, thus building up a lot of frustration. Allowing the dog to go to the front yard will satisfy his curiosity, thus making your dog more calm.

The front yard offers your dog entertainment. He gets to see the mail man, the FedEx truck, the UPS truck, the school bus, and other things of interest including you, when you arrive home. You can create off areas with electronic fencing, such as a pool, flower or garden area. You can have your front yard separate from your back yard. If your dog runs out the front door he will be contained.

Pet Safe Inground Fencing

PetSafe In-Ground dog fences are a safe, effective and hidden way to contain your dog in its boundary. With a hidden fence type of product your dog can be contained to your property without having to pay the expensive cost of a traditional fence, which can be unsightly, and your dog may just climb over, dig under, or chew through it.

Pet Safe Instant Fencing

PetSafe Instant Fence

Offering safety and portability, the new Instant Fence from PetSafe is the first electronic containment system with instant installation. If you can plug in a cord, you can install Instant Fence: no unattractive poles to set up and no wires to bury. Instant Fence uses a constant radio signal to create a "stay zone". When your dog leaves the area, he receives a mild correction until he returns - which means it’s escape-proof. And since Instant Fence is completely portable, you can take it and your dog wherever you go. So your pet is safe, and your mind is at ease. This system is recommended for dogs that weigh at least 15 lbs.

The PetSafe Instant Fence is a revolutionary new concept that provides the safest, simplest form of dog containment ever. You plug in a transmitter somewhere inconspicuously in your home. It emits a radio signal around your home. Your dog wears a lightweight receiver collar which listens for the signal. While its receiving the signal, your dog is free to run and play. When it approaches the boundary of the signal area, it receives a warning beep. If it continues, it receives a light static energy pulse which is startling but not harmful. With a little training that is simple and quick, your dog quickly learns its boundaries. Setting the boundaries of your yard takes only a few minutes by adjusting the range on the transmitter, from a radius of just a few feet to up to 90 feet.

PetSafe Indoor Fencing

The PetSafe Indoor Radio Fence is safe, easy and effective. Just place the small, disk-shaped transmitter (about the size of a Frisbee) near the area you want to protect, such as a doorway into a room or a section of the house. Then adjust the range from as little as 2 feet to up to 10 feet. Your dog then wears the same receiver that is used for the PetSafe Radio Fence containment systems. A transmitter plugs into a standard outlet and emits a radio signal. A light weight receiver is worn on your dog's collar which picks up the radio signal and alerts your dog as he nears the boundary. Once your dog is properly trained he will learn to stay out of the boundaries designated as off-limits by the PetSafe Indoor Radio Fence.
