Invisible Fence: A Clear Solution

City living presents challenges for dogs and their people in many ways.  One of the biggest frustrations is lack of space to run free.  Sure, there are off-leash dog parks available – but many dogs don’t enjoy their experience at dog parks because they are over-stimulated, or can’t go to dog parks because they don’t get along well with other dogs. 

As the weather warms up and we find ourselves out in the yard more: weeding, trimming, etc., many of our dogs are not able to join us without being tied to a leash or rope, to prevent them from leaving the property.  Rarely do our dogs have the opportunity to be with us naturally outside, off leash, free to do what they please, on their turf.

Here’s the good news: there is a solution!  If you have property, and you don’t have/want a physical fence (or you know your dog will jump it) you can have Invisible Fence NW install their Outdoor Solutions to keep your dog safely on your property, without the need for a physical fence, leash or tie-out.

You can have the experience of opening your front door to walk out to the front yard, with your dog at your side, “helping”, and you don’t have to worry about your dog bolting out of your yard!  The freedom, ease and safety that Invisible Fence NW solutions bring people and their dogs is unparalleled, and invaluable.  Not only do you and your dog have the benefit or more space to move freely and naturally, but you also know that your dog will be kept safe from running into traffic or running away and getting lost.

Many dogs that end up in shelters are not “stray”, as they are labeled, but are actually lost  and never reunited with their families. 

As a specialist in dog behavior and training, I cannot emphasize enough how crucial proper training is along with this type of product.  Competitors offer similar products that you can install yourself, but the professional training that Invisible Fence NW offers is necessary to ensure the product works properly and that your dog understands the relationship with the boundary.  When done properly through Invisible Fence NW, you and your dog will experience the training process with confidence and clarity.  If don’t improperly, you could create extreme stress and phobia in your dog and potentially cause your dog to not want to go outside. 

I have personally seen how the training sessions go and the dogs actually enjoy working with Invisible Fence trainers and learning about their new freedom.

Invisible Fence Northwest offers both indoor and outdoor solutions for both dogs and cats!  Check out www.invisiblefencenw.com to learn more about their products and services or call 1-888-242-3811to schedule a free in home consultation to see how Invisible Fence NW might fit for your home and pets.
