The wireless systems suck do not use one. I have been working with the Pet Stop Brand wired systems for about 5 years and they work flawlessly. The wireless system that is on the market now uses an AM radio signal and it sends it out in a circle and when the reciever that the dog is wearing exits that circle it is no longer recieving the signal. The concept is good but using the AM or FM radio signal make the system to unreliable. Those types of radio signal can be interfered with by to many outside things. Pet Stop brand wired systems are the only brand that uses a true digital system. Contact a dealer using the webstie above.
They send an electric charge through the collar whenever it goes past the designated barrier. Not enough to hurt the dog, but it will put an end to the dog's curious wandering ways. I would stay near your dog when you first test it out, sometimes the dog's freak out and run off in panic and it will continue to shock the dog. You need to make sure the dog knows it's barrier.
I thought the collar was a small transiever ran off of a mini battery, and so is the fence transeiver.
They are tuned to a fequency that is very high pitched ( beyond human hearing) that is irritating to the dog species. At the point when the distance between them is zero ( they are both on the same axis) the collar emits a sound. This will irritate the dog until it leaves the zone. Over a short period of time the dog will realize how far it can go before the sound is emitted.
There is no shock delivered to the dog in any form, it is an ultrasonic sound tuned specifically to the dog species so as not to effect humans.
Again, this is what I thought - maybe i'm wrong though.
Rhamm, explained the concept. The ones I have seen just provide a corrective shock.
