When considering wireless fencing make sure you do all your research and see if it’s a beneficial thing for your dog. It’s convenient for us as owners but it can also lead to negative affects for your dog. If you already have a fearful, skittish dog this probably isn’t the best containment system for them, it may lead to worse behaviours. Make sure you are always watching your dogs’ reactions when first starting the wireless fence, and even time after. They may start out okay with it but that can change overtime so watch your dog’s behaviour. You are responsible for their overall wellbeing and purchasing a wireless fence is a good start, but you do not want to have a scared, fearful dog either. Overall know your dog and what they can handle. If you purchase a non-shock securement and have one with static or noise, with a dog that is already scared of loud noises. This will also do more harm then good. Always, always, always be mindful of your dogs reactions – you are their safety net, they will look to you for help.
