There are a few things to consider when deciding between a traditional metal dog fence and an invisible electric dog fence. Below we will cover a few of the basics.
Do you want to keep other dogs and people out?
Invisible dog fences only work to keep your dog in. A traditional fence will not only keep your dog in, but also will keep other dogs, small animals and people out.
Do you have time for training?
After a traditional dog fence is installed, you’re free to let your pup out without worry. An invisible dog fence on the other hand will require training, meaning more of your time and patience working with the dog to understand his or her new boundaries.
Do you have a readily available power source?
Invisible dog fences are electric and therefore require a power source. Your dog’s invisible fence collar may also require regular charging. If you don’t have this power source readily available, or don’t want to worry about charging yet another device, a traditional fence may be the way to go.
Do you want to maintain my property views?
Invisible dog fences are just that: invisible. So, they won’t provide any obstruction to your existing property views. Keep in mind; however, that traditional fences come in many different heights and slat widths, so it is possible to use one without terribly disrupting your views.
Do you have to worry about neighborhood codes?
Invisible dog fences do not need to meet neighborhood codes and can be installed right away. Before installing a traditional dog fence, you’ll have to conduct a bit of research to determine if your neighborhood codes will restrict you in any way.
