Invisible pet fences generally work by using a buried wire that is placed around the edge of a property, or the area you would like to confine your pet to. A radio signal is transmitted across this wire, and is picked up by a receiver attached to the pet's collar. When the pet nears the invisible boundary, the color emits a warning sound. With a small amount of training, pets will easily learn not to cross the boundary. Additionally, most invisible pet fences allow the owner to selectively turn the system on or off as needed. For example, if you want to play with your dog in a larger area of the yard than the invisible boundary, you can shut the sytem off while your dog is being monitored.
