The 50 Top-Rated Electric, Invisible Fences and Containment Systems for Your Dog
If you’re in the market for a simple solution to your canine escape artist, your strangely shaped property, or your other backyard woes, you’re probably in the market for a wireless dog fence.
And that means, you probably feel like you’re drowning amidst the online deluge of invisible fences, wireless fences, electric dog fences, in-ground fences and other similar solutions. There are hundreds, if not thousands of options available, which leads you down a frustrating path: What are the most important features? What’s the difference between all these fences? And which is the best wireless dog fence for you?
Give us a couple of paragraphs, and we’ll start breaking down 50 of the best wireless dog fence systems out there. But first, a few notes: There’s one big difference between a totally wireless dog fence, which uses no wires at all, and a hybrid system, which uses wire combined with wireless receivers. A 100% wire-free fence uses a transmitter to define boundaries, and those boundaries always expand in a circle around the transmitter; you cannot define specific limits or change the shape of your boundary. A hybrid system, on the other hand, buries wire for a completely customizable shape.
Additionally, you should know that invisible fences work best for properties set back at least 30 feet from the road, with minimal slope and landscaping. Furthermore, wireless fences will not work around metal, including aluminum siding, metal roofing, and other interference.
And now, without further ado, 50 of the best wireless, electric dog fence systems available today:
