No. In my opinion, no electronic collars should be used on dogs, at any setting, except by professional dog trainers who are very experienced with using these tools to achieve a certain response from a dog. It is just too easy for an inexperienced person to injure a dog, physically or emotionally, by using an e-collar. There are much safer means available for training your dog, and if you want to provide a safe play area for your pet, build a fence around your yard.
An invisible fence collar will work in another yard that has an invisible fence so long as the other yard is equipped with an invisible fence of the same brand. Since each brand works differently, the brand you are using may not work in a friend's yard.
You may be more familiar with the term "invisible fence." An underground and invisible fence are the same thing. Basically it's a buried wire around your property that communicates with your pet's collar. If they pass over that line they get buzzed and generally stop. An undergrond fence in beneficial in training pets to stay in the yard. The fence is invisible to your neighbors but will emit a slight shock if your pet is too close and attempts to leave the designated area.
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.
How an invisible fence works is when the dog steps past set set perimeter, he receives a tone and then stimulation. If taught properly, the dog will associate the tone with the stimulation and will not cross the boundary. To start, before turning the fence on, the dog should wear the collar for a minimum of 3 days to get used to the feeling of wearing the collar. Continue to use other normal collars during this time. Make sure the perimeter is visible with colored flags. After the introduction of the collar with no stimulation, you can proceed with a pinch collar or correction collar (slip chain, nylon slip) and walk the dog around the perimeter while the fence is turned off. When he crosses the flagged boundary, give him a correction. After training the dog with the pinch collar or slip, turn the fence on. Walk the dog around the perimeter. When the dog gets near the boundary, you will hear an audible tone before the stimulation starts. You can correct with the tone or you can let the dog feel the stimulation, your choice. After the stimulation, walk the dog away from the boundary and continue to do the same all around the boundaries. Then do the same with a longer leash to see if he has learned from the training. The main goal is to have the dog learn from the tone, not the stimulation. If he has not, repeat the step with the shorter lead and walk the perimeter again, giving a correction when he gets too close or let him feel the stimulation. Repeat this until you feel comfortable that your dog is aware of the fence and its effect. Once the dog has shown he understands where the boundaries are, and what the tone means, he will no longer need to be on a leash. This may take a few hours, a few days, this may take a week. Be patient and good luck.
