How To Train A Dog On Invisible Fence

Introduction

An invisible fence or underground fence uses a transmitter to send a radio signal through boundary wires installed around your home. You can easily train your dog to stay within the boundaries of yard and avoid going outside your premises.

4 Steps to train a dog on an invisible fence

You should take the following steps:

Install the base station and mark boundaries.
Allow enough time to train your dog effectively, depending on how easy it is for you to work with them in this manner.
Introduce your dog to an invisible fence collar by accustoming them to wear it properly and getting them used to wearing it around the house for a day or two before actually introducing her to its use outside of the home (this may be best accomplished by letting him/her play with an empty electronic collar as well).

1. Install the Base Station and Mark Boundaries

Install the Base Station and Mark Boundaries

The first step in training a dog on a fence is to install the base station and mark the boundaries for your pet’s safety. The base station should be placed in a safe area where it will not be knocked over or disturbed, and it should also be placed at least 10 feet away from any boundary (as recommended by Invisible Fence). Make sure that you put enough distance between this device and your boundaries so that they do not interfere with one another, as this can cause an electrical shock if they come into contact with each other. It is important to keep these two objects separate in order to prevent any harm to yourself or your pet!

2. Allow enough time to train the dog effectively

Allow enough time to train the dog effectively
To ensure that your dog learns how to use the invisible fence effectively, we recommend that you allow your dog at least two weeks of training. The length of time required will depend on the type of dog and their experience with similar devices (e.g., shock collars).
During this period, consider having a friend or neighbor help you with training so that they can take over when you have other commitments.

3. Introduce your Dog with an Invisible Fence

To do this, you will need to follow the following steps:

Put the collar on your dog and allow him/her to wear it for a few days. This gives your dog time to get used to wearing the collar, and it will also help them recognize it as their own. You can also use this time period as an opportunity for training purposes; if your dog is not comfortable with wearing the collar in certain situations (like when they are outside), then you should immediately stop what you’re doing until they have learned that being attached to this item does not mean anything bad will happen in those circumstances.
Introduce your dog with an invisible fence by using positive reinforcement techniques like treats or toys when he/she goes near the perimeter of where he/she can roam freely without getting shocked by the electric wire installed around your yard. In addition, communicate clearly with gestures such as pointing out when they enter into areas where they shouldn’t go while keeping hands away from any fences so that he/she understands that there is no danger associated with touching those objects again in future encounters

4. Accustom your dog to wear the Collar Properly

Collar should be comfortable for the dog.
Fitted properly.
Fitted for the dog’s neck.
Not too tight, not too loose, not too short and not too long.

The training is easy for both, you and your dogs.

You can train your dog to work on an invisible fence in no time. The training process itself is easy, and it’s great for both you and your dogs!

When your dog runs away from home, they will start to feel the electric shock through their collar. This teaches them that whenever they try running away like this again, they will experience pain. In order to stop the pain, they learn that the only solution is staying close by (on or near) their owner at all times so as not to get shocked again

Conclusion

The invisible dog fence is a great option if you want to keep your dog in the yard but don’t have the money or time to build a physical fence. The system is safe, affordable and easy to install. You can train your dogs on an invisible fence with just 4 steps that we already discussed above.

You need to give enough time for training to make it effective. This will also save you from facing any kind of trouble later from your neighbor or family member who may get hurt by him mistakenly. However, few people have complained that their dogs are still crossing the boundary even after proper training sessions which means they didn’t follow all these steps completely.

So if you want an effective training session, then try these steps without skipping anything. Make sure you follow them precisely so that there are no troubles ahead for anyone in particular and for both, you and your dog.
