If you own a dog, you know how important it is for your dog to have the freedom to run, jump and have fun. If your yard is not equipped with an electric dog fence, it is impossible for your dog to experience this freedom. Even homes with physical fences cannot provide this type of freedom for their dog.

You might be wondering how it is possible for something that is hidden to properly contain your dog. Learn everything there is to know about the electric dog fence in Massachusetts. Your dog will love it as much as you do.
Electric dog fence 101
The electric dog fence is a dog containment system that with the proper training, keeps your dog within the boundaries that you set. A consultant will come to your home and walk your yard with you, allowing you to dictate where you would like the boundaries for your dog. After establishing the boundaries, a professional installer will install your containment system underground. There is no need to worry about underground obstacles such as sprinklers; the installers can work around them. Once installed, the installer will flag the boundaries in your yard. The next step is crucial to the success of your dog containment system.
Electric dog fence Training 101
The most crucial step in having an electric dog fence in Massachusetts is the training phase. The flags that the installer used serve as a visual boundary for your dog and the containment collar serves as the auditory and physical boundary for your dog, typically only during the training phase.
While training your dog, it is imperative that he never goes outside without the containment collar. Doing so could render any training you have done useless. It will take a few times of your dog hearing the warning beep as he steps over the boundary and then the harmless shock for him to understand and stop crossing the boundaries. With diligent training for both owner and dog, your dog should be trained within 2 weeks.
