How to stop your dog escaping from your property

If your dog keeps escaping from your property, then you really need one of the dog containment collars, which you can easily find by searching for dog collars online. Dogs that wander all over the neighbourhood not only endanger themselves by walking into traffic, but can also put other adults, children and animals at risk.

Wandering dogs can attack children, other dogs, wildlife, chickens and sheep, and just about anything can happen when dogs are unsupervised and unrestrained. So keeping your dog on your own property is not only the right thing to do for your dog, but also for everyone else as well.


The benefits of dog containment collars

 

Dogs escape from gardens and acreage for a variety of reasons, but the two main reasons are because the fencing is inadequate or non-existent. To be fair, large properties are very expensive to dog proof, but you can easily cordon off a smaller area around the house to keep your dog contained.

That’s where dog containment collars come in, because they allow you to contain your dog in large or small areas, keeping them safe and out of trouble. This is particularly important if your dog is aggressive, but even the more sublime and friendly dogs can harm themselves if they are left to wander.

How to use dog containment collars

 

These are very simple to use. All you need to do is bury a transmitting wire along your boundary line – this can be your fence line or a smaller area around a vegetable patch or around the house on a large property. Your dog then wears a collar with a receiver, which gives a warning beep if they come too close to the buried wire.

If they keep on going towards the boundary, they receive a static correction, which brings them up short. They will quickly learn not to approach the boundary line and will be happy to stay on your property. You can even put out little flags at the point where they receive a warning beep, so they can visually see where to stop and you can also give them voice commands at the same time.

So if you have a wandering dog, you can either perform a quick search for dog collars online or go to K9Collars and check out their dog containment collars for yourself.

What is a dog remote trainer?

Remote dog trainers are a way for you to retrain your dog’s bad behaviour from a distance. It allows you to correct them even if they can’t hear you, pretend that they can’t hear you or even if they ignore your voice commands (who hasn’t had a stubborn dog at one time or another?).

You don’t need any training experience to use one of these pet collars in Australia, all you need is an unruly dog who doesn’t listen to you and a great need to fix this problem fast!

How to use a dog remote trainer effectively

First you need to attach the collar with the receiver around your dog’s neck and then you hold the remote control transmitter in your hand. When you see your dog doing something wrong, such as chasing wildlife, you use the transmitter to send a static correction to your dog, via their collar.

If they are close enough to hear your voice, you should also give them a command at the same time, so that they learn to obey what you say and so you won’t need the dog remote trainer forever. There is no need to worry because the static corrections won’t harm your dog, they just bring them back to reality and pull their attention onto you. You can also alter the level of the corrections, increasing it slightly for stubborn dogs and decreasing it for sensitive dogs.

So if your dog is behaving badly, check out one of the dog remote trainers and you will soon have a very well behaved dog in your family.
