Upgrading Your Underground Dog Fence without Breaking the Bank
Summary
Discovering an effective pet containment system was crucial for me. With a history of escaping and a couple of close calls with traffic, my 100-pound Labrador needed a solution that provided both freedom and safety in our new home.Article
The Challenge of Keeping a Free-Spirited Dog Safe
My dog has always been an energetic explorer, frequently escaping and getting into trouble. In our new home, equipped with a spacious backyard, I was thrilled to find an underground electric dog fence already installed. It had worked wonders for the previous owner's dog, and I was eager to let my pup roam freely.
Initial Success and Unexpected Failures
Initially, the fence worked perfectly. My dog quickly learned to avoid the boundary after experiencing the first shock. For a week, he enjoyed the yard while I attended to my garden, and I felt at ease knowing he was safe.
However, the peace was short-lived. My dog became more mischievous within the safe zone, wreaking havoc on my garden. Worse yet, he soon figured out how to break through the fence. He’d bolt through despite the shocks or wait until the battery died. His cleverness left me both frustrated and begrudgingly impressed.
Seeking Solutions
I contacted the local installation company for help. They recommended a pricey overhaul, estimating costs well over two thousand dollars?"far beyond my budget. Feeling discouraged, I turned to the internet for a more affordable solution.
A Budget-Friendly Fix
Online searches revealed companies offering containment systems at a fraction of the cost. I discovered that my existing underground wiring was compatible with newer systems, saving me from a complete reinstallation.
The new model I chose featured "Run Through Prevention," which gradually increases stimulation as my dog approaches the boundary. This humane approach deters running through without overwhelming him. Additionally, it includes "Anti-Drain Prevention," which delivers a warning if he lingers in the danger zone, protecting the battery from depleting.
DIY Installation and Success
With guidance from a customer service representative, I managed to set up a secondary boundary around my garden. By splicing the wire and following simple instructions, I created a protected zone without needing professional installation.
Conclusion
The upgraded containment system proved to be a success. My dog now happily roams the yard without escaping, and my garden remains intact. This transformation cost me only $150?"a fraction of the local company's quote.
If you're considering a pet containment system, online options offer excellent products, competitive prices, and reliable customer service. It's a cost-effective way to keep your pet safe and your mind at ease.
