For in-ground types of electronic dog fences, there is wire that is connected to a transmitter that resides inside your house or garage. The wire is installed around the area you want to allow your pet access to. The wire emits a signal, 360 degrees around the wire, to the electronic dog collar that beeps if the dog gets too close to the wire. If the dog continues past the beep, he will receive a correction. When a dog is properly trained, he learns to go back towards the house when he hears the beep.
I am needing a fence put up for my dogs. What is the average cost for an electric dog fence?
An electric fence does not prevent a dog from jumping over the fence. The only way to prevent a dog from actually jumping the fence is to build the fence high enough to keep the dog from being able to clear it when he jumps.
An electronic or underground dog fence works by giving the dog a mild electric shock if the dog tries to pass through the fence. This acts as a deterrent and stops pets from going astray.
No, because if you put one in the house it may shock or kill your dog.
Sure but you need to train it with the fence. Check the owner's manual. You need to show your dog where it is allowed to go and adjust voltage if not high enough.
Yes of course. Extra Collars can be added to almost any Electric Dog Fence as long as the collar is a compatible model. Depending on the brand of fence there may be multiple types collars available as well. For example the Petsafe has 4 different collars available so that you could have a large dog, a small dog, a stubborn dog and even a cat, all use the same In Ground Electric Dog Fence.
yes
Most perimeter dog fences are electric, but there are alternatives. Best Friend Dog Fence is one that is non electric: http://www.bestfriendfence.com/dog-fencing-info.asp
if the dog goes near it and they might get shocked if it climbs on it. An electic dog fence will not cause damage to your dog. The voltage is rated low enough that it won't cause damage.

Yes,horses are very much affected by an electric shock. My friend boards horses. He has boarded horses for years. There is an electric fence all around the pasture and believe me, when a horse bumps up against the electric fence and gets shocked, they react very quickly to the electricity. They avoid the fence completely after getting shocked a few times.
