My Dog Is an Escape Artist! How to Keep Your Pet Safe
Does your dog have a knack for finding their way out of the garden, no matter what measures you take? For many pet owners, dealing with an escape artist is a constant challenge, leaving you worried about their safety. At DogFence Ltd, we specialise in providing reliable and humane containment solutions that give you peace of mind while keeping your pet happy and secure.
Why Do Dogs Escape?
Common Reasons for Escaping
Dogs escape for various reasons, and understanding the cause can help in addressing the problem effectively:
- Curiosity and Adventure: Dogs are naturally inquisitive and may wander off to explore smells, sounds, or other animals.
- Separation Anxiety: Some dogs try to escape because they are distressed when left alone.
- Hunting Instincts: Breeds with strong prey drives may chase after wildlife or other distractions.
- Boredom: A lack of mental and physical stimulation can lead dogs to seek excitement beyond their boundaries.
No matter the reason, the risks are significant, from traffic accidents to conflicts with wildlife or other pets. To prevent unwanted accidents and to ensure your pets safety it is important to keep your dog safely contained.
UK law states that it is an offence to have a dog that is out of control and the fines and consequences can be extremely high. More info here
Why Traditional Fencing Might Not Work
Physical fences can sometimes fail to contain escape artists:
- Digging: Dogs can dig underneath fences.
- Jumping or Climbing: Athletic dogs may leap over or scale fences.
- Structural Weaknesses: Weathered or poorly installed fences can provide escape points.
That’s where electronic dog fences come in—providing an innovative solution to contain even the most determined escape artist. Read how our dog fences work if your dog is an escape artist with our testimonials.
How DogFence Ltd Can Help
What Is a Dog Fence?
A dog fence is an electronic pet containment system that creates a secure boundary using an invisible signal wire. When your dog approaches the boundary, their collar emits an audible warning. If they continue, a gentle impulse encourages them to retreat, teaching them to stay within the designated area. With training (vocal commands and training flags) the pet quickly learns how to use the dog fence.
Professional Installation and Training
At DogFence Ltd, we offer:
- Expert Installation: Our trained professionals ensure the system is installed correctly and effectively. This includes assessing your property, designing a tailored boundary, and burying the wire to avoid trip hazards or interference.
- Comprehensive Training: We provide hands-on training to help your dog understand the boundary. Our proven techniques ensure your pet learns quickly and safely, giving you confidence in the system.
This professional service sets us apart from DIY options, offering unmatched reliability and peace of mind.
DogFence vs. Cheap Budget Fences
While cheap DIY electronic dog fences may seem appealing, they come with significant drawbacks:
Quality and Reliability
- DogFence Ltd: We supply high-quality systems from DogWatch®, a trusted brand with decades of experience and rigorous safety testing. Ever receiver (collar that the dog wears) and transmitter (base unit) is individually tested and numbered to ensure quality, safety and performance.
- Cheap Imports: Many DIY systems, often sourced from China, lack quality control, leading to unreliable performance and potential safety risks for your pet.
Customisation
- DogFence Ltd: Our collars feature adjustable settings tailored to your pet’s size, temperament, and needs.
- Cheap Imports: Most DIY systems have limited customisation, which can result in either ineffective training or undue stress for your pet.
Durability
- DogFence Ltd: Our systems are designed to withstand severe weather conditions, ensuring longevity and consistent performance.
- Cheap Imports: DIY products often use low-quality materials prone to failure, leaving gaps in containment.
Support and Service
- DogFence Ltd: We offer ongoing customer support, expert advice, and maintenance services and a lifetime warranty on the hardware.
- Cheap Imports: DIY options typically lack after-sales support, leaving you to troubleshoot problems on your own.
Investing in a professional, high-quality system ensures your pet’s safety and saves money in the long run.
