Experiences with wireless fence in TV?
Have you tried it, does it work, what kind of home structure? I hear that maybe concrete has too much rebar to work. any experiences at all with wireless would help....
thanks, I doubt this would work.... Kitty, who can't stand the idea of an electric current to my Emma anyway but she might prefer to be outside and watch passing pooches while they bark at her highness. |
I assume you are talking about Invisible Fence Kitty and we have it and love it. It does flip people out sometime when they see our 100lb dog in the front yard and he will not run into the street after them, funny to watch. :) Some dogs can get through it but our original dog a chocolate lab and Bailey who is a cross between a choc. lab and german shorthair pointer never has. The collar the dog wears sounds a tone prior to the wire and never gets close to getting shocked. We highly recommend it, good luck.

FYI, there is NO rebar in the concrete walks and driveways. They use fibercrete to eliminate steel.
|
I was told that concrete homes may have rebar in the structure that interferes with the signal...wondering if anybody with a poured concrete home has an invisible fence?
|
You are correct. The walls do have reinforcing steel, but not the outside flatwork. I was under the impression that the invisible fence was hard wired to the control panel, and the signal was transmitted to a collar when the critter got close to the perimeter where the buried wire is.
|
you are right if it is a buried line, but I want to get a wireless one. the signal transmits with no buried line....totally electronic.

this is an example...an in house transmitter sends a signal..there is a new product that can be configured not in a circle but in a rectangle to fit your property. Looks like nobody is using this from what I am reading. the dog learns to hear a beep from the collar when nearing the boundary and hopefully needs one time getting the current to learn...I'm told it is not a "shock" like an electric fence, but more like static energy. http://www.havahartwireless.com/stor...og-fence/5144g |

All I ever had to realize about the wireless fences is that it may keep your dog in, but it does not keep other dogs out. And yes, I see dogs off leash all the time. Also, as someone who had an 8 foot alligator in their front yard and we are nowhere near water, I would never even consider this type of fencing. I know I am in the minority, but that alliagator adventure really shook me up.

As a responsible dog owner I never allow our dog outside without my supervision just because we have the invisible fence. There is always the possibility of a predator anywhere.

Here's the link to the exact one I'm considering..... Invisible fence is a brand name. and most people think of wires in the ground instead of wireless.. |
