Invisible Fences and Pet Doors
I would appreciate hearing from Villagers who have had invisible fencing installed as to which company they chose, why, and their feeling about the company. Seems there are two different companies who claim to be the best in TV. What's your experience?
Also, I read that alligators and snakes get in pet doors. It this a common occurence or a real exception and does anyone know a way to prevent this? |

We're considering a home that backs up to O'Dell Circle. We love it but are concerned for our dogs. Would a properly installed invisible fence (and proper owner training) guarantee that our dogs would not run out into traffic? Are they that reliable when done right?
By the way, our dogs are well behaved and I have little concern for their safety even without the invisible fence. But I don't want to take any chances. What do you think? |
I also recommend Dogwatch; they have installed fences on two homes for us and are just excellent.
I agree with Barefoot that the dogs must be supervised even when you have total confidence that the fence is working. Backing up to a busy road -- I don't think my dogs would cross their fence line but there's so much at stake -- how about putting the fence so they are not in that area? Ask the Dogwatch guys for their advice on how to configure the fence to solve the problem. |
I agree that whether it's dog watch or invisible fence brand are great choices and it's always best to supervise your dog when it's out in the event predators may show up.

This house had a doggie door.

never had an animal come thru my dog door. I close it at night.

We have never had anything come through out doggie door, either. Just because we haven't had anything come through so far....it is always a possibility.
Also, we did have a dog who would not stop when wearing a shock collar. It would probably depend upon the type of dog you have. Ours had a strong prey drive. He wanted to chase things....no matter what. Either way...I would not fully trust the invisible fence. It might be fine if you are there to supervise, but I wouldn't take the chance of leaving my dog out there by him/herself. Again, I think it depends on the dog. |
