THE PROS AND CONS OF INVISIBLE FENCES FOR DOGS


To ensure success, the dog must learn where the fence is. This requires a training period where the owner and dog walk the perimeter of the fence noting the flags. Fencing companies usually provide training protocols and spend time working with owners and their dogs.

Although invisible fences protect dogs by preventing them from leaving the yard, they do not prevent hazards from entering the yard. Stray dogs and wild animals can still access the yard and interact aggressively with pet dogs.


Some dogs become agitated when they watch neighborhood dogs freely romp about and realize that they cannot join in. This is especially frustrating if neighboring dogs “tease” or play just out of range. Friendly, sociable dogs also become frustrated when they see another dog or human approach but cannot greet them.
