The electric dog fence collar ensures that the dog remains safe and inside the house all times that it is wearing the collar. Therefore, proper configuration of the collar is necessary.
One of the most important parts of the electric dog fence containment system is the dog collar. If an owner is planning for a containment system, then it is obvious that the safety and the health of the dog is a priority to its owner. Making sure that the collar is properly configured ensures that the dog remains safe. Following are some tips which should be followed to ensure that best use of the electric dog fence collar is made.

• There are some collars which come in a single size but can fit all sorts of dogs. However, this is true for very few and expensive collars. There are several models and brands which make collars specifically for small or large dogs. Therefore, proper research should be done on the product to ensure that the collar will fit the owner’s dog.

• Several electric dog fence systems’ instruction manual state that a fake collar should be purchased before installing the system and applying the collar. This fake collar ensures that the dog gets accustomed to the collar. When the dog is trained properly, a number of owners wish to replace the original collar with the fake one as they don’t want the dog to experience any sort of harm again.

However, this decision might turn faulty if the dog is stubborn and realizes that there is no fear of shock while crossing the boundary. Therefore, this decision should be made depending on the obedience of the dog.
