dog containment systems are essential products where pet owners are concerned for many reasons that will be discussed later. Conceived on the basis of the negative reinforcement training method, these electronic systems are composed of a central unit, which receives signals from the proximity sensors and commands through radio waves the collar fixed around the dog’s neck to deliver it either a warning sound or a mild, safe and painless electric shock. This happens when the dog attempts to cross the invisible boundary set up around the desired containment area.

These aversive stimuli give the dog unpleasant sensations and it will soon discover that it can avoid these disagreeable feelings by simply stopping at a certain point when it hears the warning sound.

These pet containment systems have numerous benefits that millions of pet owners have enjoyed and continues to enjoy. Following we present some of these benefits:

• Your dog will have better protection against road accidents, animal run-ins and other possible mishaps borne of being outside a designated safe area. You will then be able to save on the psychological and financial costs of such accidents. The dog will benefit of a double protection. Firstly, the beep issued by the collar is loud enough, so you can hear it and command your dog to stop or come back.

Secondly, the dog itself will be amazed by the warning beep and interrupted in its activity. If it continues, the electric shock follows and it will surely dislike the feeling and stop. You dog will then not go into the road in the line of passing cars or not be engaged in fights with other animals. You must train your dog to come inside the house when the beep sounds or when the shock delivers its mild force.

• The feeling induced by the electric shock is unpleasant enough that the dog associates it with its bad behavior. You should take into account various factors when you adjust the level of the electric shock, like the size and temperament of the dog.

While the training progresses, your dog will need lesser intensity of the electric shocks. For example, during the initial stages of use, you can set the shock at its maximum setting and then lower it to the minimum setting when your dog has been trained to respond to the beep alone.

• You will save all the time, money and effort required to build a material fence. Keep in mind, too, that these physical fences require maintenance expenses including additional real property taxes, which is in contrast with wired and wireless electronic systems known colloquially as invisible fences.

You don’t need another system for another safe containment place, just move the transmitter on the center of the new containment area and install the sensors on its borders. You only need to set the transmitter ON after you have put the proximity sensors on the borders of the safe containment area, and the whole dog containment system is ready to keep your dog within the house or yard or other place you want it to be safe.

Dogs are less exposed to various risks and have less possibilities of producing damages to people, animals or properties if their owners use dog containment systems.
