Some dog owners are curious to know if an invisible dog fence is humane. They hear expressions like electric fences and shock collars, which gives the impression of being very painful. Then there are the people who think that any form of negative correction for a dog is wrong and will campaign against an electric dog fence thinking they are doing a good service for dogs.
When you study how a wireless or underground PetSafe fence works, you will understand how humane they are. The shock delivered by an invisible fence is very mild and does not harm your pet, it is like a static shock not an electric shock. It is no different to the way the mother dog disciplines her pups. Should her puppy mess around and annoy the mother, the mother will chastise the puppy by nibbling it around the neck. The pup gets the message very quickly and changes its behavior appropriately. And so you will find the electric dog fence works in a similar fashion, as soon as the dog tries to go where it shouldn’t, it receives a static shock. No harm comes to the pet, and it works well at keeping it within the boundary.
Does your dog find it fun to climb over the fence or dig holes under it and escape, because this is a big problem for many dog owners. What makes the situation worse is having a pet dog that is difficult to train, is very disobedient and if anything feel that they are the master of you and so takes no notice of your instructions about not escaping over the fence. The only conventional solution to this issue then boils down to either tether your dog or never let him out. In my opinion, you can’t get any more inhumane than that.
Because a dog fence cost quite a bit of money, dog owners put a lot of thought into it before buying one. So you find them buying a dog fence as they do not have any other options, especially if their pet dog doubles up as a guard dog because you want them to patrol your grounds. There are many risks to your dog if it does escape from the security of your backyard, if it finds itself on a road, it runs the risk of being injured. If it starts to chase farm animals then there definitely can be some very serious consequences. If a farmer catches a dog chasing his animals, then he has every right to shoot it dead. So when you think about these problems, it makes the electric dog fence a very humane option.
The great news is that if you are looking for a dog fence, the new ones are very easy to set-up. They cater for any number of dogs, and as they are invisible, they are very discrete.
