Most
pet owners are familiar with the reasons for using a cat dog fence.
They want their pets to remain safe from traffic accidents, strangers
and other animals. If you have a pet, chances are you have wrestled
with the issue of pet safety.
There are some opponents of the popular electronic fences, and they
point out the discomfort that these fences cause the pets. Most pet
lovers would argue that the safety provided far outweighs the slight
discomfort the animal may feel as they train to stay within the appropriate
perimeter. Your dog or cat will feel far more discomfort if they escape
and are injured, such as being hit by a car.
One important point regarding the electric or radio fences that send
shocks to the collars of cats or dogs is that most kit systems have
adjustable intensities of shock. The different levels allow you to
customize the intensity of shock. Another thing to note is that prior
to emitting the shock, collars beep to issue a warning that the pet
is straying close to the border of the yard. Thus, a well-trained
animal will learn to avoid the shock.
Training is key when using a cat dog fence. When you train your pet,
utilizing firm training techniques, your pet will quickly come to
understand where it is acceptable to run and where it is not. Once
your pet is trained thoroughly, shocking is very rarely necessary.
