An underground pet fence is a containment product that involves an underground wire to make an invisible fencing of your pet.

The system is made up of a transmitter, a buried wire that gives out a signal and a collar that is worn by your dog. The collar raises a warning when your dog nears the boundary by emitting a sound or vibration. When they move forward, the collar sends some mild shock of a correction to get them back in the safe area. It is a good system that contains your dogs in your yard without necessarily having to place physical barriers.

Wireless dog fences are easier to set up, and are more portable than underground systems, yet might not be as precise.

Wireless fences establish a surrounding that is circular around a transmitter and are best suited in small areas or yards with few barriers. Nevertheless, they might not be as effective with irregular shaped yards or large spaces. Underground wires are more precise and can accommodate complicated yard plans, offering a better barrier.

An underground pet fence wire is usually buried 1 to 3 inches in the ground.

This depth provides a safe protection of the wire and remains able to transmit the signal effectively. Excessive burial of the wire may compromise the strength of the signal whereas overexposure may expose it to the effects of lawnmowers or pets. Most installations can be done with a 1-3 inch depth.

Yes, however, large trees and metal fences can result in a certain signal interference particularly in wireless systems.

Large metal structures or thick trees can affect the wireless pet fences, weakening the signal. In such cases, underground systems are usually more dependable because it does not rely on any obstruction of the surface on the buried wire. But one should plan the installation to be as least intrusive as possible.

Yes, underground pet fences can be used with more than one pet, a different collar may be used on each pet.

All the dogs will be fitted with a collar including a receiver which will communicate with the wire that is buried. The correction level of each dog can be adjusted based on their size, temper and training progress. Multiple dogs can be safely contained in the same area with the proper system setup.
