  1. Long-Range Wireless Electric Dog Fences Why Should You Choose a

    Long-Range Wireless Electric Fence for your Dog? There are many reasons for a dog owner to decide to get an electric fence for their dog. Electric fences also known as wireless dog fences are inconspicuous and basically invisible, allowing your homes architecture and garden to shine on full display, instead of being hidden behind a tall fence. Wireless electric fences are especially useful due to their portability; whether you want to bring your dog with you to the park, to the beach, wherever you go, you can bring your portable, wireless electric fence with you. Some electric fences, however, have limited ranges in how much coverage they provide. This can be a huge disadvantage if you want to allow your dog to run around, or if you have multiple dogs and want to let them outside all at once. Thankfully, there are specially designed wireless electric fences made just for this reason: long- range, wireless, electric dog fences. Long-range wireless electric dog fences are also great if you have a larger home or property and want your dog to have free reign in a specific area larger than the average electric fence is able to cover. Keep in mind that large and/or metal items interfere with the boundary signal produced by most long-range wireless electric dog fences. Items that could interfere with your electric fence system includes large, dense, trees, metal siding or roofing, and log cabin walls. One of the most well-liked long-range wireless electric fences on the market is the PetSafe Wireless Pet Containment System. The PetSafe Wireless Pet Containment System is designed to provide circular coverage up to a ½ acre in diameter. Pet owners are able to adjust the size of the covered area between 5 to 90 feet. As a wireless electric fence, the PetSafe system is portable, allowing you to bring it with you wherever you would like. The PetSafe system comes with a waterproof receiver collar that is adjustable for most dog’s neck sizes, however, if your dog is larger than an average dog, you may have to invest in a system designed specifically for larger dogs. Always keep your dog’s size in mind when choosing an electric fence. The PetSafe system offers up to 5 levels of static correction. Another popular long-range wireless electric fence is the Perimeter Technologies Wireless WIFI Dog Fence. The Perimeter Technologies Wireless WIFI Dog Fence has an even longer range available than the PetSafe Wireless Pet Containment, allowing dog owners to adjust the diameter of the covered area up to 2 ½ acres. If you have a really large property, the Perimeter Technologies Wireless WIFI Dog Fence will allow your dog access to the entire yard. The Perimeter Technologies Wireless WIFI Dog Fence comes with a base WIFI SmartStation. The SmartStation is small, compact, and entirely portable, allowing you to move it anywhere on your property at your leisure. The SmartStation is also rechargeable. Always make sure to have extra batteries on hand if you have an electric fence system that relies on rechargeable batteries. The Perimeter Technologies Wireless WIFI Dog Fence offers up to 9 levels of static correction. One additional advantage offered by the Perimeter Technologies Wireless WIFI Dog Fence is an alarm system which will sound if your pet somehow escapes outside of the boundary zone you’ve chosen.
  2. There are many different options to choose from when it

    comes to long-range wireless electric dog fences. One great choice is the Motorola WIRELESSFENCE25 Wireless Fence for Home or Travel. The Motorola WIRELESSFENCE25 is completely portable, which is a pretty big advantage if you intend to bring your lovable canine companion with you on trips. The Motorola wireless electric dog fence system offers 15 levels of static correction, which is a huge bonus if your dog is super sensitive and needs the minimal amount of static correction available to avoid getting anxiety or if, on the flip side, your dog is really large, and needs a higher level of static correction than the average pup. The Motorola WIRELESSFENCE25 comes with a rechargeable battery pack. Keep in mind, however, that the collar that comes with this model of the Motorola WIRELESSFENCE25 is not waterproof – the company starting making their collars waterproofs with the next system that came onto the market, the Motorola TRAVELFENCE 50. Both systems are very similar; depending on your needs, you may want to invest in the waterproof collar that comes with the TRAVELFENCE 50, or the WIRELESSFENCE25 may suffice. Okay, but what if you need a wireless electric dog fence that has a really large range, larger than any of the ones mentioned so far? Don’t worry, we have the product for you. It’s called the Havahart Wireless Radial-Shape Select Fence for Medium-Large Dogs, and it’s advertised to provide the largest amount of coverage of any product currently on the market. That’s right – the Havahart Wireless Radial-Shape Select Fence system covers up to 11 acres – that’s more than 8 football fields! If you have a very large property, multiple dogs, large dogs, or any combination of those, the Havahart Wireless Radial-Shape Select Fence may be worth the investment. Plus, the Havahart system is totally wireless, and requires very little time to set-up – no wires needed! And, the Havahart Wireless Radial-Shape Select Fence system even comes with a waterproof collar that is adjustable up to 26 inches in diameter and will fit most medium to large size dogs. The system is designed to allow up to 2 dogs to simultaneously use the system at the same time, and you are able to customize the settings for each dog – you just have to order an extra waterproof collar! In addition, the Havahart Wireless Radial-Shape Select Fence offers up to 9 levels of static correction, allowing you to finely tune the level of correction for your furry friend. Product Features Cost PetSafe Wireless Containment System Portable, offers 5 levels of static correction $199.95 Perimeter Technologies WIFI Dog Fence Comes with alarm system, offers 9 levels of static correction, portable $339.95 Havahart Wireless Radial- Shape Select Fence Offers 6 levels of static correction, portable, multi-pet capability, large coverage $299.95 Motorola WIRELESSFENCE25 Offers 15 levels of static correction, portable $199.99
  3. Wireless Fence for Home or Travel If you are having

    a hard time deciding between the most popular long-range wireless electric dog fences on the market, we’ve got you covered. The differences between models are subtle, however, each one has their advantage. Every one of the wireless electric dog fences featured here is portable, making it easy for you to transition between your home, the park, or even the beach. Most wireless systems run on rechargeable batteries or require a wall to plug into. Always make certain that your wireless electric dog fence system is properly charged. If your electric dog fence system runs on rechargeable batteries, it might be a good idea to keep a spare pair in your car for when you go out. It’s better to be safe than sorry! If you are looking for the most bang for your buck, so to speak, you should probably try the Motorola Wireless Fence for Home or Travel. At $199.99, it’s one of the two cheapest options and it offers 15 levels of static correction, making it the most versatile for fine tuning the amount of static correction your dog receives. Plus, it’s portable! The only downside is that the electric collar that comes with the Motorola Wireless Fence for Home or Travel isn’t waterproof. But, if you are set on the Motorola system, they do offer another model of the same system that does come with a waterproof collar. Maybe money isn’t the deciding factor here. Many dog owners want to make sure that they have the best technology available on the market; the only caveat is that the larger, more impressive systems tend to be much more expensive. If you want to invest in a more expensive system, the Perimeter Technologies WIFI Dog Fence is the one for you. For a pricy $339.95, the Perimeter Technologies WIFI Dog Fence is the most expensive one that we’ve come across so far. Of course, the Perimeter system is portable, too. Plus, the Perimeter Technologies WIFI Dog Fence is one of the only long-range wireless electric dog fences available on the market with its own alarm system, giving you the reassurance that your dog won’t escape without you knowing right away. On top of that, the Perimeter Technologies WIFI Dog Fence offers up to 9 levels of static correction. Okay, but, what if you have multiple dogs? In that case, the Havahart Wireless Radial-Shape Select Fence is probably your best bet. The Havahart Wireless Radial-Shape Select Fence is unique among the long-range wireless electric dog fences for two reasons: it has the largest coverage available on the market, and it is advertised as appropriate for multiple dogs to use simultaneously. This makes the Havahart Wireless Radial-Shape Select Fence an attractive option for anyone with multiple large dogs.
