Do electric dog fences work? If not, is there an inexpensive alternative you would recommend?
I have to find a way to keep our dog in the yard besides fencing in the property. We live in the country and it's not possible.
We've tried a nylon cord attached to the deck but then she (our 6 month old puppy) won't leave the porch.
To my defense... (knowitallssuckiamone) This dog came to my house as a stray and due to the high kill shelters around we decided to keep this dog. She choose us not the other way around.
Answer: Yes electronic fences do work.
Alot of people here bring up valid points about some electronic fences.
You need to make sure that you contact a reputable company and have the fence installed and trained to the fence. Alot of these so called professionally installed brands are full of it they do install the fence but instead of training the dog they simply scare the dog into staying in the yard.
I am a dealer for Pet Stop Pet Fence Systems and we do it right. All of our dogs are gently and effectively trained to the system using a beep, then a low shock level that feels like a tickle. (Yes I have put it on, and I gave a presentation at a Home show while wearing the collar getting shocked)
