Wireless

• Wireless pet fencing involves a radio transmitter connected to an outlet inside or directly outside your home that transmits radio waves to a collar your pet wears. If your pet travels too far, it receives a mild shock.
  
  

In-Ground

• In-ground pet fencing employs an underground wire that sends radio waves to your pet's collar. When your pet crosses the wire, it receives a mild shock.
  
  

Pet Re-entry

• Pets who have escaped an in-ground fencing system may be reluctant to re-enter the yard since they will receive another shock when they return.
  
  

Uneven Yards

• Wireless transmitters may not function properly over hills, which may cause a "dead spot" in your yard.
  
  

Benefits

• In-ground and wireless fences both offer invisible fencing that is more visually appealing than many above-ground fencing options. It can also be more reliable since dogs can dig under traditional fences.
  
  

Considerations

• You may want to consider combining an above-ground fence with a wireless or in-ground fence.
