Do Wireless Dog Fences Work?

by Adopt a Pet, | January 8, 2024

Though some people report that wireless fences work for their dog, we never recommend using them. These fences require a shock collar that shocks the dog anytime they cross the barrier of the wireless fence. There are other alternatives to this negative reinforcement technique that are more humane and work better in many cases.

Alternative Solutions&nbsp;&nbsp;

Putting up a physical fence.
Only taking your dog outside on a leash.
Working on off-leash commands such as “stop” and “no.”&nbsp;

We never recommend using a shock collar or any form of negative reinforcement. Finding an alternative to a wireless fence is the kinder choice.&nbsp;&nbsp;
