Wireless Pet Fence Vs. Underground Pet Fence
If you have pets that go outside, it's important to build a fence to keep them from wandering away or going into the street. Although there are many options for fencing, wireless pet fencing and underground pet fencing both offer the option of having an invisible fence.

Wireless Pet Fencing
-
Wireless pet fencing employs a radio transmitter in your home that transmits radio waves to your pet's collar. If your pet goes too far and crosses the boundary, it receives a mild shock.
Underground Pet Fencing
-
Underground pet fencing relies on an underground wire that transmits radio waves to your pet's collar. If your pet crosses the wire, it receives a mild shock.
-
Benefits
-
Both the wireless and underground options provide an invisible fence that is more attractive and more reliable than many other fencing options.
Considerations
-
Wireless fencing works best in flat yards; the transmitter may not function properly over hills. However, pets who have escaped an underground fence may not come back into the yard, since they will receive another shock when they do.
Warning
-
Before digging, call to check for underground utilities. The North America One Call Referral Service at 1-888-258-0808 can refer you to a directory of utility companies.
