A Guide to Wireless Fence Installation

If you reside near a bustling highway, lush woods, or sprawling farm, you understand the constant concern about your dog's safety and the fear of them venturing beyond the yard. The nightmare of imagining your pup running free into potential dangers is something all dog owners share.

Certain wireless dog fences come equipped with a transmitter that effortlessly connects to a standard outlet, emitting a signal that discreetly travels through underground wires. This creates an imperceptible boundary, and a receiver attached to your dog's collar issues a warning signal when the pet approaches the designated limit.

Pawious offers a new generation of collars. The setup process for this state-of-the-art system is a breeze, requiring just a few minutes to install the transmitter and define the boundaries. Bid farewell to the challenges of digging, the inconveniences of hassle, and any concerns about tangled wires – simplicity is paramount! Your dog deserves a secure haven, and you deserve the reassurance that they're safe and sound.

How Electronic Fences Work

The two main types — wired and wireless — offer tailored solutions for pet owners. In both cases, a specialized collar is essential, calibrated to provide a corrective pulse that gently alerts the dog to its boundaries. It's important to note that this impulse is not a forceful push, but rather a robust vibration designed to capture the animal's attention without causing harm.

The Versatility and Benefits of Electric Wireless Dog Fences:

• Boundary Definition: Electric Wireless dog fences establish a predetermined boundary within which your dog is allowed to roam freely.
• Correction Mechanism: When the dog approaches or attempts to cross the set boundary, the electric fence delivers a mild corrective stimulus, such as a static pulse or vibration, discouraging the dog from crossing the established limits.
• Training Aid: These fences serve as effective training tools, aiding in teaching dogs to recognize and respect boundaries. With consistent use, dogs learn to associate the corrective stimulus with the designated safe area.
• Customization and Flexibility: Electric dog fences offer flexibility in defining the shape and size of the containment area. This adaptability allows pet owners to create customized boundaries that suit their specific needs and property layout.
• Safety and Pet Freedom: Providing a safe alternative to traditional fences, electric Wireless dog fences allow pets to enjoy the freedom of outdoor spaces without the need for visible barriers. This enhances their well-being while ensuring they stay within a secure zone.

Let's break down the components of a typical wireless dog fence installation kit, which includes a coil of wire, a transmitter for signal transmission, and a collar capable of generating a pulse to signal the dog. The installation process demands sturdy hands and essential household tools, such as a drill with a tip, a circular saw, a mini sledgehammer, a shovel, and more.

To establish an wireless boundary with a wired fence, a small trench must be dug for the wire, and marker flags need to be securely placed. In cases where the wire must cross concrete surfaces or paths, a circular saw will be indispensable for cutting a small trench.

The transmitter plays a crucial role and should be securely bolted to a weather-protected wall near an electrical outlet. Additionally, batteries must be inserted into the collar to ensure proper functionality.

GPS and Wireless Dog Fences

When you order the latest generation fence, like our legendary F800 model, from the Pawious website, you'll discover an elegant and stylish box containing everything you need for this advanced system.

The brilliance of this system lies in its simplicity of setup and operation. No need for extra cables or transmitters – the dog collar serves as the primary receiver. Setting the boundary on the collar takes just a few minutes, thanks to its user-friendly design. The collar's memory function ensures convenience by saving your last settings, but for optimal accuracy, recalibrating the center point every 4–5 days is recommended.

The must-have features of our GPS and Wireless Dog Fences that you'll appreciate:

• Rechargeable (no need to stress about battery replacements),
• Waterproof,
• Comes with built-in memory (when turning it on again, it will recall the latest center point and radius),
• Extra safe, thanks to GPS technology.

Our electric dog fence allows you to outline an area ranging from 99 feet to 3,280 feet (33-1,000 yards) in radius. Ideal for outdoor areas such as open fields, it's not recommended for small yards or indoor use.

When your dog ventures beyond the defined boundary, the GPS Remote Controlled Dog Fence initiates gradually increasing tones, vibrations, and/or shocks at six intensity levels. This is followed by a one-minute pause, and the cycle repeats. If your dog doesn't return, the collar beeps continuously until your furry friend is safely back within the perimeter. These advanced safety features are specifically designed to ensure the well-being of your beloved dog.

How to Install Wireless Fence (GPS and Wireless Dog Fences)

Step 1: Locking in the GPS Signal

Hold down the collar button to power it up and secure that GPS connection.

Step 2: Finding the Center Point

Define your center point, customize the range (from 33 to 1000 yards), and let the Flags for Dog Fence do the rest. It even remembers your last setup, so no worries if the location changes – just set it again.

Step 3: Testing and Deploying

Ensure functionality by attaching contact points and using the test light in the silicone sleeve. A flash means it's a go! Slip it onto your furry friend by standing behind them for that perfect fit – not too tight, just comfy.

Setting up the GPS collar takes less than an hour. A huge plus is that you can easily change and adjust the borders. For example, if you decide to move to another house, then you do not need to dig the yard again.

Instances When Electronic Containment Might Not Be the Right Fit

While electronic containment systems are a popular choice for pet owners seeking effective solutions, there are situations where electric fences for dog installation may not be the most appropriate option. Understanding when to reconsider electronic containment is crucial for ensuring the well-being and happiness of your furry companions.

1. High Anxiety or Fearful Pets: Dogs with high anxiety levels or those prone to fearfulness may not respond well to the corrective stimuli associated with electronic containment. In some cases, the stress induced by these systems can have adverse effects on a pet's mental and emotional state.
2. Aggressive Behavior: If your dog displays aggressive tendencies, electronic containment may not be the safest choice. The corrective stimuli could potentially exacerbate aggressive behavior, posing risks to your pet's safety and the well-being of others.
3. Health Concerns: Certain health conditions may make electronic containment unsuitable. For example, dogs with heart conditions or those prone to seizures may be negatively impacted by the stress associated with the corrective stimuli.
4. Inconsistent Training: Effective use of electronic containment relies on consistent training and positive reinforcement. If a pet owner is unable to commit to the necessary training regimen, the system may not be as effective, and the pet might not understand the boundaries, leading to potential safety issues.
5. Lack of Supervision: Electronic containment systems should not replace the need for active supervision. If a pet is left unsupervised for extended periods, it may encounter unforeseen challenges or dangers that the system cannot address.

While electronic containment systems can be valuable tools for many pet owners, it's essential to recognize situations where alternative methods may be more appropriate. Always prioritize your pet's comfort, safety, and individual needs when considering containment options.

How Can I Train My Dog to Respect Boundaries?

When you figure out how to set up an wireless fence, another important question arises. Achieving a harmonious relationship with your furry friend requires patience and the power of positive reinforcement when it comes to boundary training.

Key Tips for Success:

1. Gradual Introduction: Initiate boundary training with your dog through short, controlled sessions to ease them into the concept.
2. Command Integration: Teach your dog vital commands such as "Stay" and "No" when approaching designated boundaries.
3. Positive Reinforcement: Encourage good behavior by rewarding your dog with treats and praise for staying within established limits.
4. Consistent Approach: Maintain consistency in your training regimen by employing the same commands and boundaries consistently.
5. Leash Training: Utilize a leash initially to guide your dog and prevent boundary crossing, ensuring a controlled learning experience.
6. Regular Practice: Reinforce training through consistent and regular practice sessions to solidify your dog's understanding of boundaries.

Master the art of boundary training with these effective tips, and witness a well-behaved and respectful companion in your beloved canine friend.
