If you want your dog to be able to run off-leash on your property, it’s important that you have a fence. Let’s discuss physical fences and underground invisible electric fences.
Physical fences are a great option. You can choose material such as wood, metal, or vinyl. This will keep your dog from running off your property and keep other dogs or people from entering onto your property. Just be sure that your fence is high enough so your dog can’t jump over it. Also, make sure it locks properly. And periodically check for holes that your dog may be digging to escape.
Underground invisible fences are often chosen because they are aesthetically pleasing to your property. But there are some cautions.
Some people think that a dog will never run past the electric fence line. But that’s not true. A dog can run past it. It may endure the shock so it can get to whatever it wants to chase. This type of fence does not prevent other dogs from entering your property, so your dog can still be at risk. Also, if the batteries in your dog’s collar die or there is an electrical outage, the fence may be compromised.
