Can my neighbours sue me for not having a pet containment system?

If your dogs are unruly and keep escaping from your property, you have a problem on your hands. Your neighbours can’t sue you for not having a pet containment system in place, but they can sue you for any damage or injuries caused by your dogs when they escape from your property.

Pet containment systems and stop barking pet collars in Australia are both very popular, so let’s take a look at how these containment systems can keep you and your dogs out of trouble.

The reasons why pet containment systems are so popular

Pet containment systems consist of two components – an FM transmitting wire and a collar with a receiver. The wire needs to be buried along your property line or around a smaller area (such as a vegetable patch) to keep your dog either contained within your property or out of another area.

So if your fences are well maintained, but you only want to keep your dog out of veggie patch, then a pet containment system is a great idea.  It is also perfect for renters when the boundary fences are in poor repair or for people who live on a large property, which is too expensive to fit with dog proof fencing. For these people, you can use the containment system to keep your dogs close to the house and not running all over the neighbourhood or countryside.

All you need to do is to bury the wire around the boundary of the containment area and when your dog approaches this wire, they receive a warning beep. You can actually plant little white flags at this point, so your dog can visually see the spot where he or she must stop.

If you dog ignores the warning beep and continues on towards the boundary, they will receive a static correction which doesn’t hurt but brings them back to reality (you should give them a command to stop at this point as well). They will quickly learn to pay attention to both your commands and the flags and will stay where you want them to be – safe on your property.

So if your dog is causing you grief and from escaping your property, look up pet collars Australia, install a pet containment system and you will have peace of mind once more.

What are some of the best pet containment systems in Australia?

If you are looking for pet management & training products, then one of the best products and the most useful are the pet containment systems. These are a great way to stop your dog wandering from your property and killing wildlife, endangering themselves and others on our busy streets or just becoming a nuisance around the neighbourhood.

How do pet containment systems work?

Essentially, pet containment systems keep your dog on your property and stop them from wandering away. They can also be used to contain them in a smaller area, such as around the house on a large acreage property and also keep them away from sensitive areas where they can do some serious damage, such as vegetable gardens. Usually they can contain an area up to a maximum of 200 acres – which is a huge area and shows you how well these pet containment systems work.

There are two components to a pet containment system, a collar with a transmitter which your dog wears around their neck and a receiving wire which is laid along a boundary line, either along your property line or around a smaller area.

The receiving wire can be laid on top of the ground, but is more often buried under the surface of the soil along your fence line. You also need to place little white flags about 2 to 3 meters away from the wire as this helps to train your dog.

So as your dog approaches the wire, once they reach the flags they will receive a warning beep from their collar. If they continue on into the ‘correction zone’ they receive a harmless static correction. They soon learn that the flags mean a beep and any further means a correction.

You can then teach your dog to stop at the flags with verbal commands and not to cross into the correction zone where they will earn a correction. This is a very safe way to prevent your dog from wandering around the neighbourhood.

Pet containment systems

At K9 Collars our pet containment systems are designed to stop your dog wandering away from your property. A wire with a built-in FM radio signal is buried in the ground around your property and your dog wears a collar with a transmitter.

If your dog gets close to the wire they receive a warning beep and if they continue to get closer they receive a static stimulation or correction. You reinforce these corrections with your own commands and with a small flag that marks the point where your dog receives a warning beep. Between your commands, the flag and the warning beep your dog soon learns to stay within your property.

Stop barking collars

With the stop barking pet collars, your dog wears a receiver on a collar which picks up the vibrations from their bark. They are given a warning beep and then if they continue to bark, a static stimulation is given to them. They quickly learn to stop barking with this system.

Remote training collars

Similar to the stop barking collars, the remote training collars come with a remote control for you eliminate problem behaviour in your dog. Problems like digging, chewing or killing wildlife can be fixed by giving a command and using the correction from the collar.

This is a highly successful product, but we will only sell these to responsible dog owners. So each owner has a consultation with our Field Operations Manager and we will only sell you the remote training collar on his recommendation.
