Dog getting out of invisible fence.

There are advantages and disadvantages to electric fences and the choice of fencing is one that. Fenced in dogs are less likely to be hit by vehicles have fewer aggressive interactions with other dogs have decreased exposure to contagious diseases and are less available to pet thieves. One of my dogs with high prey drive quickly learned if she ran fast enough she could get through the line before the shock. Dogs go out of bounds even with an invisible or wireless fence system for several reasons in particular.

If a dog runs through the invisible fence he experiences a zap for just an instant. What you can try is to keep the invisible dog fence system running as normal but then to put the dog on a leash or a runner to reinforce the idea that they are supposed to be confined to a specific area. By thinning out their fur especially in the area of their neck you can ensure that the training collar associated with your invisible fence will be a more comfortable and more secure fit. My dog is afraid to go outside after i installed the invisible fence.

So it was not effective at containing my dog. Most likely your problem is caused by one of the following conditions. I have a 9 mo old labradoodle and he has a timid nature but he s also very playful and loves to be outside. There is a system that will continue zapping the dog for 45 seconds that might be effective.

Every time your dog is escaping through the invisible fence they are likely getting shocked which is just not good for them in the long term. I had that system for my dog as a second electrical fence. But then a month later he was escaping both fences. Loose collar or too much hair to make constant contact dead battery or low or improperly inserted so it is upside down shock turned too low on the collar.

Keeping a dog appropriately confined keeps him safe by preventing mishaps associated with free roaming. I had an invisible fence for a brief time many many years ago. When he started wandering into our neighbors yards chasing deer into the woods etc we got the i fence. Other dogs proximity is a trigger that makes the dog forget the rules and try to go outside.
