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.

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.
It is recommended to research local companies and read reviews to determine the best electric dog fence installer in the area.
