There are considerable advantages but a few disadvantages to having electronic control fences for both the dog attached to it and their human owners. Electronic fences have several components working together to limit a dog’s ability to wander from the yard. An underground wire runs along the yard’s edge emitting a signal, receivers in the dog’s collar pick up that signal when the boundary wire is approached too closely and produces a discouraging noise, a shock or an unpleasant scent spray.

Heres a common complaint: Your pet is sick and the vet can’t figure out why! Vets are trained to treat the symptoms from something that is likely to be transient; They are ill-equipped to treat a constant health threat, like cleaning and air freshening products.
