What is the purpose of a dog fence?

First and foremost, the fence encloses an area in your garden where your dog has a run. This way you don't have to worry about your dog. Possible territorial fights between your dog and an unfamiliar dog are also prevented. Your dog has an undisturbed area to himself. The only question you need to ask yourself is: What kind of dog fence do I want?

What makes a good dog fence?

Pay attention to the material of the fence. It should be able to withstand the resistance of your dog should he lean on the fence or even try to jump over it. Also make sure that the meshes are tight enough to prevent your dog from getting through the fence. Quality plays an essential role. Make sure that the fence is well made so that your dog does not injure himself. Do you plan to transport the dog fence and set it up in different places? Then it is worth buying a mobile dog fence. Easy and quick assembly and disassembly is important here. Depending on the intended use, pay attention to the coating of the dog fence so that you can use it outdoors without any problems.

What types of fence are there?

Depending on the desired use, a different dog fence is recommended. You can choose between a fixed fence, a mobile dog fence, your garden fence, a plug-in fence, an invisible dog f ence and the electric fence. However, the electric fence is only recommended in areas where wild animals appear to protect your four-legged friend.

Fixed fence

If you do not want to change the fenced area any more, a fixed fence is the optimal solution for you, which will last for many years. The purchase costs are high, but this is offset by the long durability of the dog fence.

Mobile dog fence

This is for anyone looking for a flexible dog f ence without electricity. The mobile dog fence is great for both large and small dogs. You can set up and take down this fence as you like. This fence is best suited for camping and holidays in general. They are offered in different colours. A plain green would help the dog fence not stand out much in your garden. However, a more eye-catching colour would create another barrier for the dog.

Barrier fencing

Barrier fences are there to contain your dog within your own four walls. They ensure that your dog cannot reach certain areas and also provide safety in relation to stairs. Your dog will not be able to run up and down the stairs uncontrollably if you also use the barrier fence on the stairs.

Garden fence

The garden fence for dogs is the classic fence. Not all garden fences are ideal as dog fences. Before you want to use it, you should make sure that it will withstand your dog. In principle, however, a recommendation can be made for a fence especially for dogs.

Invisible dog fence

With the invisible dog fence, a thin aerial cable is laid under or above the ground. Your dog is also given a collar that is equipped with a receiver. This collar is able to emit various warning signals and impulses. If the dog now approaches the fence (the area where you have laid the cable), a warning signal will sound. This sound warns your four-legged friend not to go any further. However, if he decides to go further, the collar will trigger an electrical impulse (electric shock).

However, this type of fence for dogs should be considered as it can be dangerous to your dog's health due to the electrical impulse. In addition, it is not possible to predict what the dog will associate with the electrical impulse. He could associate it with fear and fright and thus avoid passers-by. In addition, other animals can enter your property as there is no barrier to prevent them.

! In Germany, the invisible dog fence is also prohibited by the Animal Protection Act!

Electric fence

The principle of the electric fence for dogs is like the invisible dog fence described above. Here, an electrified net is set up in connection with a pasture fence device. If the dog gets too close to the fence, it receives a short electric shock. This is to teach it not to want to go further over this area.

Complete dog fence set

The complete set is the best solution for you, as it includes the fence for your dogs and a suitable electric fence. With this dog fence, you have optimum protection against other animals that may want to enter your property and your four-legged friend remains in the demarcated area.

Puppy fence

Puppies should also get some air, outside. So that you do not lose them in your garden, it is advisable to build a puppy enclosure . These offer your puppies an optimal run and are quick and easy to erect and dismantle.

What material are dog fences made of?

There are dog fences made of:

• Iron wire, stainless steel or plastic (mobile dog fence).

• Wood or plastic (fixed fence)

In general, the density and strength of the dog fence should be considered. After all, the dog should not be able to stretch or tear the fence structure.

Advantages of a dog fence

• Limits an area that the dog should not enter

• Protects the dog from other animals or the danger of running into the street.

Advantages of a mobile dog fence

• Flexible handling and quick erection and dismantling

The quick and easy to set up net is ideal for the home garden and camping. The dog fence is simply taken out of the pack, rolled out and stuck into the ground - without tools and in just a few minutes. Due to the easy handling, a mobile dog fence can be moved quickly and easily. A flexible fence for dogs is a practical solution to always provide your four-legged friend with enough exercise.

How high should a dog fence be?

The height of the fence depends on the breed of dog . No general figures can be given. However, as a rule of thumb, the dog fence should be three times as high as the dog itself. This prevents the dog from jumping over the fence. This is not necessary for puppies. Here, a height of 30 cm to 60 cm is perfectly sufficient.

Note: Dogs like to dig, which is why it is necessary to anchor the fence downwards. It is sufficient to bury the fence 15 cm into the ground to ensure that your dog does not break out.
