Invisible fence or wireless containment system for small dog.

[ghosthunter]

Looking for some kind of containment system for our house dog (15 lbs) to keep him on our property. We have a fenced back yard but like to allow him run of the driveway too.

Any one have experience with the electronic area systems with no wires?

We have about 5 acres done of the invisible fence between my daughter and I (we are neighbors) with 4 dogs. It has been working pretty well. Keeps them out of the road and other neighbors place. They bury a wire and the dogs have shock collars.

Neighbors just put one in, but there dog is still always getting over to my house.

Mixed results with the invisible fence.
Training is pretty simple, if the dog is trainable.
Background,
Fully fenced 3/4 acre yard with gate, all 6’ tall
3 dogs
All could jump the fence, no problem, 1 liked to dig.
After being schooled, none would approach the fenceline.
Until something irresistible caused them to cross the line
Once they get out.....
Problem is, it’s a short lived zap when they cross
No further punishment, but they won’t come back in,
because it’s gonna hurt.
Eventually all of them have been bad, and I usually find them sitting at the end of the driveway, waiting for me to remove their collar

Should work great for a smaller dog. We use them on our Brittanys. It is a wireless unit that has a proximity setting range, the unit plugs in somewhere in your house and the collar has a range of settings to deliver a range of shocks. Are collar settings differ for both dogs but they learned really quick where the boundaries are. It will beep to warn them when there near their boundary before it shocks them. We’re on a 1/3 of an but the unit will work on a lot bigger pieces of property. If your dog is a puppy you may want to wait till there older to use it on them.

Training collar.  Shock vibrate anytime close to fence.  Will learn to avoid fence completely.  Requires several days of vigilance training.  Works for us well.

I’ll look but I think I have a kit I bought years ago and never used. Yours if you want it. I think it had 500’ of wire for direct burial plus all the other things to go with it. I’ll find it in the next day or so.

Depends on how stubborn and pain tolerant the dogs are. I’ve been using the Sportdog system for close to 10 Years now with good results. Not properties (2.5 acres and 5 acres) were fully fenced, so we just zip ties the wire right to the existing fence and then buried the wire in a chunk of garden hose across the driveway. Worked great and no digging involved with install or fixing breaks. It been great for the two German shorthairs and a vizsla. We currently have a 100+ pound Great Pyrenees/Anatolian mix that minds it most of the time. But if there is something that really interests him or that he thinks is a threat he runs right through it. It should work great for a couple of 15lb dogs.

Wow
Thanks

I don’t have a large area. 50 x100 back yard and 45 feet across driveway.
The dog is a wus but thinks he is CuJo. Got the mailman fooled anyway. Got a nasty gram from him.
The dog is older too. Spends all day in house with wife. But when gets outside he likes to take a tour of the neighbor hood and bark at shadows.

Yeah no digging would be my choice. I like the hose idea.

1st time dog blows thru it after UPS guy it learns to just run faster and the invis fence becomes giant waste time, imop/experience with it.

Don’t buy a unit with wires, get the wireless. Just plug it in put your collar on your dog and adjust the settings and your done.

Several people that I know tried them. Their biggest complaint was that although it worked most of the time in keeping their dogs in the yard it did not keep other dogs out of their yards. Too many times they had to break up fights from other unrestrained dogs attacking their dogs.
