Innotek

Humane Contain

Newer to the market is Humane Contain, a company that offers the same features and functions of normal underground fencing units. The difference is that Humane Contain uses short bursts of low voltage instead of a steady zap. The intensity of the zap increases only if the animal does not immediately alter its pace towards the illegal area. With the Humane Contain, there are two areas that issues corrections from the collar. The Correction Zone offers a very mild zap while the Enforcer Zone raises the voltage and gives a more powerful shock.

Humane Control units start at $100 and include the entire system including the collar.

Invisible Fence/Pet Safe

Invisible Fence has been in business for more than three decades. The system is recommended by many veterinarians as being effective and safe. The ASPCA backs the company. Users generally agree and the company`s 99% effectiveness rate proves that the system is one of the best.

Invisible Fence/Pet Safe products are generally well rated by users. Kits start at $80 and will cover up to 25 acres if you purchase enough cable to reach that distance. Extra wiring is generally available for $35 per 500 foot roll. The collar is waterproof, so you needn`t worry about flaws during rain or snow storms. You can have the fencing installed professionally or install it yourself.

One thing that people are slightly disheartened by is the fact that over time the underground cabling can fray. Moles, mice, and other small animals can chew through the wiring. If this happens, your unit will become faulty. Pet Safe sells a break finder unit that you can use to quickly find breaks without digging up your entire yard. The break finding unit costs approximately $70.

Pet Safe offers a number of systems from basic to deluxe. The system you choose should have a receiver/collar that is recommended for your dog`s weight.

Sport Dog

Sport Dog is one of the few systems that comes with 1,000 feet of wire for underground installation. The system is meant for larger dogs that weigh at least thirty pounds. Systems start at $200 and can handle any number of dogs within the one system providing you purchase the additional collars.
