A small Transmitter is located in your garage, or basement and sends a radio signal much like a radio stations signal through the wire concealed around your property. The radio signal is then picked up by a radio antenna that is in a special collar worn by your pet.(this collar only picks up that exact frequency,so false signals do not occur). The signal turns on the collar and gives it a certain task to preform. First it gives out a tone for the dog to hear so they know they are getting to close to the line, if they continue closer it then gives them a mild static correction much like you receive in a dry home and you touch a light switch.
The transmitters have a built in alarm that warns when the system is not working because of a broken wire.
The width of the correction field is adjustable from 5-20 feet. a minimum of a 5 foot distance from the buried wire is suggested,in this way the pet can not just run and jump the fence. At 5 foot there is signal 5 feet in every direction,so 5 feet on your side and 5 feet on the other side of the wire = 10 feet of total distance the pet must go through to escape. If you have a large dog or a runner we can adjust it wider.
You can create off limits areas with an electronic dog fence, such as a pool, landscaped sections of your yard or a garden area. You can use your dog fence to separate your front yard from your back yard. you can then choose which area of your dog fence to allow your dog into. If your pet is inadvertently let out the front door he will be safely contained in your yard.
The wire can then be installed by Rick's in a way that can allow your pet to cross at certain areas, so when the wire goes from the edge of the property into the garage or home it can be installed so the pet can cross this area allowing them to run freely around your entire house. Ricks can work with you and design a system that works best for you and your pet. call or email for any additional questions, we would love to hear from you.
