How essential is the training period to success with an invisible dog fence?
January 30th, 2009 | by admin |We recently brought home a German Shepherd/Husky mix (male), approximately 3 months old. I purchased one of those invisible fences; the type that does not require a wire to be buried in your yard. It utilizes a wireless transmitter that broadcasts a 180′ diameter circular pet area. When the dog steps beyond the edge ot the pet area, the collar zaps him.
The manual that came with it talks about a training period of about 2 weeks for the system to be effective. How necessary is this? Are there different ways to handle this that won’t take two weeks?
The reason the 2 weeks things will be difficult, is that I’m at work during all hours of daylight, and my wife is disabled and cannot walk the dog. So the only training time I will have is on weekends. According to my fingers, that equates to about 7 weeks.

An invisible fence on at months old that may take longer than weeks but they didnt bother to do for your pet understands where the boundaries are however long it if.
