The Theory Behind Electric Fences

Your pets need your protection. Or maybe you want to keep your pets safe while preventing harm to others, such as with the help of a watchdog or a giant dog. However, you’ve given some thought to erecting a substantial fence around your property, and you’re still not entirely convinced that this is what you want. Consider alternatives to a high wall if you don’t want your house to look forbidding and isolated. There are massive canines that can breach any fence. As a result, an invisible wall is a homier, friendlier, and more reassuring option for keeping your beloved pets safe within the yard.

An electric, invisible fence needs two distinct output terminals to conduct high-voltage impulses. When used for animal containment, the collar’s output terminal is connected to the underground wiring, and should the animal be over the property line, it shocks the animal. This method is not harsh because the animal will only have to feel the shock once or twice before learning where it is safe to stay and where it is not.

Invisible electric dog fences should be tested with animals as soon as possible after installation. Slowly cross the boundary line with your collared animal. The animal will indeed be stunned. However, how else will they find out it exists? A warning beep will sound when a dog or other animal approaches the invisible fence and gets too close. An alert has been sent. As the animal comes to the boundary line, the warning signal will increase in volume, and it will be shocked when it crosses over the wires of the electric fence. When dogs hear a loud noise, they typically react timidly, shrinking back and looking uncertain. However, in due time, they will become accustomed to the warning signal, learn to avoid the jolt and feel safe spending time in their garden (your backyard).

The voltage is produced by a tool known as an energizer. The animal is shocked by a short impulse repeated every two seconds. The second of two output terminals, the collar must be on the animal for this to function. The other output terminal is buried, and it is necessary to have it working to put the fence to its intended purpose.

An animal’s muscles will contract in response to an electrical impulse it will experience. Similar to a leg cramp or sudden back discomfort, these jolts are described as solid but fleeting cramping. Muscle tension is all it is, essentially. The only distinction is that these aches and pains are not caused by the body but rather by an invisible electrical current. What the animal experiences is not, supposedly, harmful to him or her. The voltage causes muscle contractions, and these contractions cause mild discomfort.
Collars and fences designed for animals with thicker fur will need to be able to produce more electrical current.
