Issues to Watch Out For

The Issues To Watch for On Pet Barriers

Will my neighbours Invisible Dog Fence Interfere with mine?

Even if the Pet Fences are from the same brand and model they can still cause conflict. The signal distance sometimes disappears from the adjoining fenced area. This can leave a blank fence line where your dog could discover that they can get to the fence.

But using Coded FM Frequency like our Pet Barrier Dog Fences we can prevent the signals from clash and interfere with each other.

As more and more people are finding out just how effective an Electric Dog Fence can be... it can prove to be an issue if there is a radio signal on the property next door. This could be an issue to consider now... as well as in the future (what would happen 2 years down the track if your neighbour buys a Dog Fence - would yours fail if you go the wrong frequencies?)

We have 2 features in our Pet Fence system that can prevent or fix any issues with conflicts of the signal.

Coded Digital FM Frequency - Less Conflict with FM

We have opted to run with a Coded Digital FM Frequency on our Pet Fences. When we have had occasions where we find a dog fence on a property next door there has not been an issue. (But be a good neighbour - you should check your neighbours fence signal as well - it may not be so forgiving. And if it does fail you do not want your neighbour's dog to get out because their Radio signal failed because it is not FM)

  • Radio signals for Pet Fences are either AM or FM... (no exceptions)
  • AM Radio signals tend not to like other Radio Signals (Not only from other Pet Fences)
  • There are usually 2 frequencies to choose from 4Khz OR 8 Khz.
  • Not Many Pet Fences can change frequencies to cure signal interference problems.

    Porch sitting syndrome - What Is It? - How To Avoid it - And How To Cure It.

    A big concern is that the fencing is not great and at the end of the driveway is a very busy road... So obviously there is a huge risk. A Double Risk - Not only for Maggie but also for the passing cars, and guess who would be responsible for the cost of any accidents or damage if Maggie did venture on to the road.

    Contributing Causes of Porch Sitting

    1. A Non-regulated power adaptor that may fluctuate the Radio Signal
    2. Pet Fence Collars that do not have low enough levels (or no levels at all)
    3. Signal Bounce - Signal Jump - Signal Coupling (often caused by point 1)
    4. Poor quality Radio Frequencies and Transmitters
    5. Taking the training too fast
    6. Owners letting their dog get away with sitting on the porch
      Colorbond Steel would not interfere with FM Radio Signal?

      So, you're here because you need the right dog containment kit for your property. You already tried using colourbond steel fence around your property and still... your dog digs under or jumps over your fencing.

      • Dog Fence System that Works with Colorbond Steel
      • Have a Coded Digital FM Frequency Radio Signal
      • Dog Containment System that Works with Metal
      • Radio Signals Should not Bounce around the Property
