An unruly dog can literally rule your life. Maybe your dog runs away so often that the dog shelter has your number on speed dial. Or, perhaps you've gotten so good at making "Lost Dog" signs that you are seriously thinking of starting a second business. These nasty and annoying habits can be stopped immediately with two great training products available at local pet stores as well as online. See how each of them can help and then judge for yourself which would be best.
Invisible Dog Fences
If you are the proud owner of a "dog shelter veteran", you'll likely want to get one of these invisible pet fences. They aren't invisible in a spooky way, but rather in a way that will work better than a physical fence. If you already have a wooden or metal fence installed in your back yard, for example, you may still be dealing with a dog that has a digging problem or one who seems to be Houdini reincarnated. Either way, if the dog is getting out, you need to get an invisible dog fence. It uses a flexible wire that is powered by a small plug-in unit and comes with a corrective collar. Installation is as easy as encircling your desired boundary, plugging in the power unit, and getting the collar to snugly fit around your dog's neck. If proper contact is not made, the dog will not receive proper correction. The great thing about this system is that it is on 24 hours a day so you don't have to worry about whether your dog is escaping while your back is turned. Your dog will be safe and secure wherever you want him with one of the many invisible dog fences available.
GPS Tracking Collars
If your dog runs away constantly, this system can help you find him in minutes because the signal strength works for up to 12 miles away on flat ground and about 7 for hilly terrain. The most common use for these collars is hunting expeditions. This is because knowing where the dogs are located is vital to finishing the hunt and retrieval process. Bird dogs, especially, can have a one-track mind and tend to go after their goal and not stop until they get there. This is why they are such valuable hunting partners and have been so for centuries. But it can be too hard to locate them. With the older technology of tracking collars (still used today), a radio signal is transmitted from the dogs' collars and sent directly to the hand unit which receives the signal and emits a beeping sound for the dog owner to know which direction their dogs are located. However, with GPS tracking collars, the precise technology of Global Positioning Systems has been combined with the radio signal technology that has long been used. The result is an ultra-smart tracking collar that can tell the dog owner exactly where their dogs are. Find your "little runaway" in minutes with this type of collar!
If you take a look at the invisible dog fences and GPS tracking collars available, you'll be sure to find one that will help you keep your dog in your yard. And if your dog happens to escape for some reason, at least you'll be sure to find him quickly!
