7 Reasons Why Invisible Fences for Dogs Don’t Work
Potential Injury:
Invisible fence collars can cause fur wear, wounds, and infections, with malfunctions even leading to electrical burns.
Fear Behaviors:
Dogs may develop fear of shocks, avoiding the yard or struggling to enter or exit.
Equipment Failure:
Collar batteries die, rendering the fence useless and allowing dogs to escape.
Prey Drive vs. Shock:
High-drive dogs may ignore shocks in pursuit of prey beyond the boundary.
Inappropriate Behaviors:
Dogs left alone may develop territorial reactivity, reacting to perceived threats.
Lack of Protection:
Invisible fences don't prevent threats from entering the yard, leaving dogs vulnerable.
Beep Anxiety:
Dogs may associate warning tones with pain, leading to anxiety triggered by similar sounds.
