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.

Does electric fence harm a horse?
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.
