Wired Vs. Wireless Electric Dog Fence
There are different options for you to buy the fence for your dog that best suits your needs in the market. If you are looking for a fence for your pet, but you are confused or do not know much about the subject, in this article, we will explain the pros and cons of these.
To begin, you should know that there are two types of fences: wireless and wired. Each one has its advantages and disadvantages in terms of its use or use, and installation. Join us to find out which ones are for each one.
Advantages and disadvantages of wireless fence for dogs
• Advantages
Some of the advantages of wireless dog fences are:
1. One of the biggest advantages that these devices have is that their installation is super easy, comfortable, and you will not need other people's help. You connect the fence transmitter, set the size you want for the containment circle, plant the limiting flags that come in the kit, put the collar on your dog and train it in a way that it knows not to leave the space delimited by you.
2. Another excellent advantage of this fence is that it is portable, that is, you can take it wherever you go. Whether you're camping, picnicking, visiting a house, or even moving to a new compound, you can take the wireless fence with you without any hassle.
• Disadvantages
Different disadvantages can make it difficult for you to use a wireless fence. Some of the factors that could cause your fence to fail are:
1. An object or metal part that is within the containment area.
2. Some metal roofs that are nearby.
3. Many trees around the device.
4. A stucco siding.
5. Any slope or hill that is in your yard.
If any of these situations happen to you, we do not recommend getting a wireless fence. Your animal's collar could hit you when it shouldn't, or your dog could take a getaway. Another significant problem with this tool is that the area it contains can only be in the shape of a circle. So if you have a front and back yard, you could only put the fence in one of those two places. Additionally, this fence can only hold one acre of land instead of the wired fence, which can grab several acres of land.
Advantages and disadvantages of electric dog fences
• Advantages
Some of the advantages of electric fences for dogs are:
1. The edge of your fence is 100% customizable, which means that wherever you put the dog fence wire, it will be protected by the electric fence's perimeters.
2. Nothing will exceed the reliability of the electric wired dog fence. Anything that can be thrown over a wireless fence will not affect a wired fence.
• Disadvantages
As expected from the beginning, the only major disadvantage of dogs' electric fence is its difficult installation. In this case, it would be advisable to ask for help from experts on the subject (if you don't know how) or to find and install the fence yourself, but very carefully. This process can be arduous and a bit tiring; learn about the installation method before taking any steps.
