It’s more important to teach them to come to you, the porch, a target to the tones. They should rarely get corrections. They should learn tones mean turn around. Glad you got her straightened out.
I have trained two dogs with a perimeter collar, their initial reaction was the same as you described, complete confusion, back to the porch, not wanting to leave the porch for a few days. However, both dogs learned when their collar was off. Worked well as long as the collar was on, especially the one dog, she KNEW when it was off and she totally took advantage.
If you dog does not understand or recognize the sound and shock after three or four times. Your dog may need a lot of work. By that I mean exercise and training with your family. Our dog recognized the shock the first time and linked the beeping sound and flags to it in two days. However she also tested the weak signals as well. If there are hills or wooded areas, and if you have a smart dog; it may find these weaknesses.
Thanks so much! We've has our rescue for more than a year and are ready get our fence. Your tips and tricks are super helpful as my dog is my heart and I don't want anything to happen to him. Good deal!
Thank you! Ready to put our fencing up and try this out. Worried, but after hearing about your hilarious trials and tribulations you experienced, we're a little more accepting! Thanks again Max B! 👌🏽👍🏽
Do they keep shocking once they cross the boundary or is it one shock and they are free to run? I live in a neighborhood with lots of other pets & kids I'm scared my dog will feel the stimulation and run the opposite direction. She is already a runner & a houdini. She gets out of our fence ALL THE TIme. This is our last hope.
We are in the same boat and just had our patched fence destroyed by hurricane Ian. Our pair of sisters got out and ran for almost 2 hours before I found them 1/2 mile from our house and about 400' from a major road. They were still running away from home when I found them. This is our only hope until the insurance cuts a check. Just wondering what luck you had, hope it's going great!
How far away from the fence does it zap? We have one too, but haven’t installed it. Because we are unsure how close it gets to the wire before it zaps. Thanks
You can, yes. The collar should give your dog a warning beep when it is getting close to the wire, without an actual shock. After my dogs were trained, they stayed about 10 ft inside the actual wire perimeter. This is good but keep in mind it will also shrink the yard-space about inside of where you bury the wire.
So my dog got a shock during the summer and even though we took the collar off for two and a half months when we put it back on as soon as he heard the noise he will not go back to the backyard again. We only have it set at vibrate and bell at this time and we do not plan on increasing it but we can't get him in the yard. Can anybody give me some advice.
What's the percentage an electrical fence is going to stop a full grown doberman? Will it 100 percent stop this dog that has a history of attacking someone cutting grass next door to its property ?
My dog knows the boundaries without a fence & the only time he doesn't obey them is if he sees another dog, so training won't be an issue. But upon seeing another dog he will bolt. He did this once & that was enough. If he's running toward the fence at a rate of speed, will it stop him or will he just run through it? Thanks.
I like the SportDog In-Ground Fence, link below. Our dog is an American Bulldog/Lab mix. She weighs around 60lbs. whitedoglife.com/index.php/sportdog-brand-in-ground-fence-system-an-easy-to-install-and-reliable-invisible-fence-my-review/
Hello Max. Letting you what you did wrong. You trained your pup to the boundary and used negative reinforcement, instead of training your dog to the safe areas and use positive reinforcement. What you did after the initial training was a good approach, but you could have saved yourself a big headache and stress for the dog if you took am approach like I described. I know the manual for the system you bought explains how to do the training like you described, but it’s a methodology that was discarded by the professionals since in the 1980’s.
To be honest It is the only kind I have used. However, Wireless can work as well but they are not as customizable as an in-ground fence so it will depend on your property layout and what you want the borders to be. Here is a video I did that kinda goes over it th-cam.com/video/Rjd--hL-5iU/w-d-xo.html
If you live in the chicago land area I can help you with the installation and proper training of any dog fence you want to get. I have over 20 years of experience in the industry
tip: don't put it in front yard because all your neighbors will hate you for exactly the reason stated above. They charge the line and people that don't know the dog or trust the invisible fence are supposed to know/trust the dog will stop? Most bark every time you go by.. making your own dogs crazy, really sucks. I've seen a mom pushing a stroller almost dump the kid out trying to get away. I just think it is really irresponsible and selfish to have a invisible fence road side if you are just going to leave it out there for long stretches. (at least in a neighborhood with sidewalks and frequent foot traffic.)
Go one better and just build a fence. An invisible fence doesn't stop other animals from entering your yard to attack your dog. And face it, an invisible fence won't stop your dog from crossing the boundary if a really good distraction walks by ie a cat, a squirrel, a deer etc. It doesn't matter how well the dog is trained, it does happen.
Unless you have acres of property -- I agree build a fence. I tire of walking my dog and morons let out their untrained "rescue" dog that runs right through their electric fence and attacks my dog. If your dogs jump your fence -- they need training. The humane society should not let people adopt dogs that do not have fences.
Everyone should use invisible fence brand only. Lifetime warranty and they teach the dog professionally how to understand the system. So many dogs get “porched” based on improper training. Spend the money and get the best system out there or you will traumatize your animal.
Scott Schaefer How did the process go of the in-home consultation, installation, and training go for you? Are there extra costs that come with having the system Seems like a great solution. If you don’t mind sharing, how much did you pay for all of it?
Stephen Mathai to be completely honest I work for the invisible fence brand. I am an installer. We have tons of happy customers because our team cares about the customer and their animal. It is a partnership between everyone. The dogs life is at risk if we don’t take it seriously. Our systems range in cost. The lowest priced system is 1,800. Still a good system for many many dogs but dogs that are persistent on trying to escape the system I would recommend the more expensive one. Roughly 2,800. It includes lifetime warranty on everything, the training of the animal, no matter how many trainings it takes, and access to our amazing customer service reps. No hidden cost. Only extra cost would be if someone breaks the line and we have to repair it that will cost under 150. Obviously I am biased but family members and friends of mine have purchased the system and love it. We are proud of our product and love doing what we do. We are the inventors of invisible fence and we lead the industry. Thanks!
Steban Mendez I would have to respectfully disagree and I know many of our customers would disagree also. We do very large properties and if they were to build a cedar fence it would cost between $20-40,000. Even small fences cost thousands.
Scott Schaefer Dogwatch is the best system lifetime warranty on all equipment 2 year battery life (3 month for a microlite)the pet gets a warning before a correction,oh yea about $500 cheaper as well
What kind of idiot sees bad things happen with the fence then still uses it??? Here’s an idea….HUMANELY TRAIN YOUR DOG! And take them out for walks instead of just setting them outside all day fearing being outside cause they got the hell shocked out of them?
I believe that anyone who uses an invisible fence shock collar to train the dog to stay in the lawn should put that on themselves and allow 120 volts and hold button held for 2 minutes prior to putting it on your animal it's mean and it's cruel...
Because thats compatible lmao. Some people.. I have in fact tried a shock collar and it's not painful. It's surprising. I recommend you try one though. Maybe it will help you with the levels of cringe you're experiencing.
So is them getting hit by a car because he/she dug yet another hole or-if they are like my dog-quick as lightening and always low key watching/listening for someone to get distracted walking out the door-and made their escape-again.
Tried it and it was not as strong as a TENS machine for therapy on people. Learn before you post. You are just guessing about how it works. You are not putting straight 120 power to the animal. The tickle level is a shock. Or surprise or oh heck what was that, is scary. I wonder if you would rather the shock be a car hitting the animal better.
It’s more important to teach them to come to you, the porch, a target to the tones. They should rarely get corrections. They should learn tones mean turn around. Glad you got her straightened out.

They keep getting shocked near the boundary, however, once they get too far away, it stops. They won't be shocked on re-entry.

you can usually adjust the range and sensitivity of both the shock zone and levels
true story, my dog was trained on an e-collar, she hates the vibrate more than shock mode
Hade one of thes in the 90s it last a long time worked good 👍
not sure what kind of dog you have. I have a high energy Akita..... 8 months.... will this work?
Do you put the flags real close to the buried line? Where is the best place to put flags in conjunction with the wire?
You can, yes. The collar should give your dog a warning beep when it is getting close to the wire, without an actual shock. After my dogs were trained, they stayed about 10 ft inside the actual wire perimeter. This is good but keep in mind it will also shrink the yard-space about inside of where you bury the wire.
This was great information!

Uh, no - definately not! I trained and showed Dobermans for 30 years. A very intelligent, agile, energetic, and dare I say willful breed...
This is why you should use invisible fence brand. Not some aftermarket crappie.
Invisible Fence uses pro trainers to help you train your dogs.
Is it normal the correction stops after a few seconds when the dog/collar is off boundary ?
Always start with sound only
The reliability of these systems is based on the level of possible stimulation(s) outside the fenceline. Do you want to risk that?? (Don't)
