Making sure a dog stays in a backyard requires a kennel, chain or fence. Many residential property owners have an invisible electric fence installed around the yard’s perimeter, but there are problems with this choice. A better solution is aluminum fence installation to surround the backyard.
No Chasing Critters
With an invisible fencing system, the dog wears a collar that delivers an electric shock if the animal gets too close to the barrier. This usually is effective, but dogs that are inclined to chase other animals may run across that barrier without hesitation. For instance, the electric fence doesn’t stop critters like squirrels and rabbits from getting into the yard.
The electric fence doesn’t distinguish the direction in which the dog approaches. Once the animal has calmed down and tries to get back into the yard, the collar delivers a shock. This may effectively prevent the pet from coming in. If the owners had chosen aluminum fence installation, the problem would have been avoided.
No Running Toward Pedestrians
In addition, an electric device doesn’t stop dogs from running and lunging toward pedestrians when agitated. Although property owners typically put up a small sign indicating the presence of the electric fence, it isn’t always immediately obvious to passersby. They justifiably feel nervous about the dog, particularly if it’s large.
Getting Started
Aluminum fences and gates are available in a broad range of colors and designs, including those that create the illusion of being made of iron or wood.
