"Okay, let's talk about radio sensing collars. The idea of this is to create an invisible fence where the dog can't go, and if the dog does pass that line, this will shock it based on a radio signal. The shock collar itself will not really harm the dog, it will just kind of jolt it. And as you can see, it has two prongs on it, and it's set up to a fence that goes all the way around the property, and it doesn't let us go past this, kind of mountain, here, into the back fields. So what I'll do, is put the collar on the dog. Sit. So now that we have the collar on, it's active. That means if she goes outside of the radius, which we happen to be at the end of here, meaning if she walks past this mound here, and into the pathway, she will get shocked. The shock won't stop until she comes back inside. Now, I'm not going to let her, because there would be no point in shocking the dog when she's here with me. She's not really doing anything wrong. But the way it works is that there's an underground fence that's set up, and it connects via radio wave to this collar, and it will shock her. That's the way it works, and it goes all the way around the property."
