Of course, the best way to keep a dog in a fence is with an invisible fence. However, there are some reasons for this circumstance even if your dog breaches the invisible fence. In general, if you are not properly training your pet and your dog is unable to learn the boundary area you have established for your pet, you will encounter these problems.
The likelihood that your dog will run through the invisible fence increases if you use the dog collar invisible fence system on a young animal. If your puppy is older than eight weeks old, you are using this fence system on your dog.
We go over some typical issues that arise when trying to teach your pet the boundaries in this situation. It takes a lot of time and effort to train your dog. Your dog, however, may find it challenging to adjust to this Underground Dog Fence Pet Buried Wire. So you can find a solution to solve the problem.
If you create a boundary in a small space, your dog won’t live there and won’t be able to jump the fence. Expand the border’s width and give your dog more room to move around.
Try to keep your dog in a boundary area so that you can ensure that they never escape through the Invisible Fence.

Check The Batteries In The Collar
The batteries in the collar could either need to be replaced or seated incorrectly as a common problem with invisible pet containment systems. The owner’s manual for the product should contain instructions on how to confirm proper operation of your specific collar, as this is unquestionably the first thing you should check. While many contemporary containment systems are rechargeable (see, for instance, our review of the Halo Collar), there are plenty of older models that continue to use disposable batteries. You can find the type of batteries your collar uses and instructions for installing them in the owner’s manual if it turns out that your batteries do in fact need to be replaced. Even if you don’t have issues with your dog escaping the invisible fence, it’s a good idea to keep an eye on your battery levels because, if not watched, it could eventually become an issue.
Check The Base Station for Proper Operation
If you thoroughly examined your dog’s collar and found that everything appeared to be in perfect working order, the next thing to think about is the possibility that the base station for the invisible fence system may be malfunctioning. Check that the unit is properly connected to power. Make sure the RFA-67 batteries, if the system uses them, have plenty of life left in them. If there is not, try swapping it out. Examine the base station as well; the owner’s manual should provide some guidance on how to determine whether the system is functional and running properly.
Other, more technical elements could be interfering with the performance of your invisible containment systems. When used on uneven terrain, wireless dog fence systems, for instance, can have problems. Basically, if your dog finds gaps in the boundaries caused by a sharp grading in the terrain, they will be free to roam. Unfortunately, changing the boundaries’ range will help you avoid these problem areas altogether rather than trying to adapt to them.
Although they may have related issues, in-ground dog fence systems operate differently and are frequently more difficult to diagnose. It is possible for the contacts that supply the fence with power to be disrupted, usually unintentionally through landscaping or digging. The good news is that your base station may be able to notify you if there is a connectivity problem. The bad news is that you will have to identify and address the problem’s physical location. Before performing any repairs, make sure the device is unplugged and totally disconnected from power, as with everything related to electricity. If you have any doubts at all, you should always contact a specialist with experience in this field.
FAQ
What happens if my dog runs past the invisible fence?
The dog has been taught to flee when it senses (or hears) this warning. The receiver collar will give the dog a light, safe stimulation (also known as a “correction”) if he continues to wander. Your pet gains awareness of the boundaries of his fence and gains the ability to stop at the warning signal through a training program.
Will an invisible fence stop a pitbull?
Many Pit Bull owners, whether new or seasoned, may believe that a hidden fence won’t be effective because their dog will simply walk through the barrier without so much as batting an eye. Owner of DogWatch® of Augusta-Aiken Kevin Leishman and Fatz the Pit Bull following a training session, however, this is not the case.
Will an electric fence stop a dog?
Many people believe the best way to contain their dog in their yard is with an invisible underground wireless electric fence. However, they are simply ineffective compared to what you might believe. According to statistics, the effectiveness of invisible wireless electric fences is only about 70%.
Does an invisible dog fence have to make a complete loop?
