In-Ground Fences are a great alternative for situations where an actual physical barrier or fence is not practical. Additionally, an In-Ground Fence works great in conjunction with a Pet Door, giving your pet the ultimate freedom to come and go and explore an area of your yard that you designate. The low maintenance and easy installation of an In-Ground Fence add up to tremendous savings when compared to a traditional fencing.
How Does an In-Ground Fence Work?
An In-Ground Fence is essentially made of two components, the transmitter and receiver. The transmitter is a stationary unit that plugs into a standard wall outlet. The transmitter is attached to the perimeter wire put in-ground, and emits a radio signal that travels through the perimeter wire. The Receiver (or Collar), worn by your pet picks up the radio signal, and issues a correction or stimulus as your pet nears the perimeter.
The boundary consists of three parts, the Passive or Safe Zone, the Warning Zone, and The Static Correction Zone as depicted in the diagram on the right. The Passive Zone is your pet's area to explore and move around in freely.
As your pet moves closer to the perimeter wire they will enter into the Warning Zone, where often times they will receive a vibration or auditory correction.This is an early effort to warn your pet they are close to the boundary and should move away.
If your pet continues to move through the Warning Zone, they will enter the Correction Zone, where the corrective stimulus is triggered. At this juncture your pet will received the static correction and withdraw away from the boundary back into the Passive Zone.
Some In-Ground Fencing Systems have what is referred to as Run Through Prevention which is an added security measure to keep your pet contained within the set boundary. This feature is designed for pets that seem more prone to testing the boundary. As the Pet moves through the warning zone and into the correction zone, your pet received the programed correction. Once your pet gets approximately 1/3 through the Correction Zone a second correction, at the highest level is issued to the pet, even if its a higher level correction than what the system is programed to.
