Underground Pet Fences

Typically used to keep dogs inside your yard, underground pet fences are a great option for those people want to section of parts of their yard so that the dog cannot pass. It's also a great option for those pet lovers who cannot have a backyard fence due to neighborhood regulations.

Underground Pet Fence

The one thing that you want to remember is that although the underground and wireless pet fences keep your dog in the yard, they won't keep dogs out of your yard. So, if you have an un-altered pet, you'll want to avoid putting it in the backyard, so that you don't end up with a litter of your own.



Typically the only thing that will keep other dogs out of your yard is a physical fence.

Dog Collars

It's very important that you have a dog collar that fits. If the dog collar doesn't fit, then your pup can get away from you when on walks.

The collar needs to leave only 2 fingers width between the neck and inside of the collar. If the collar is too large, then your dog can slip out, but if it's too small, he may have trouble breathing.

Choosing a Dog Collar

There are many types of dog collars that you can choose from, ranging from nylon collars to leather collars. You'll find reflective materials and spikes. Youll even find high fashion collars and accessories from brands like Coach and Burberry.

Other types of collars are training collars which include, martingale collars, pinch collars, choke collars, and gentle leaders.
