Runner dogs don’t like to be restricted in containment spaces. Among the large variety of existing dog breeds, many are especially bred for their physical features, like endurance and speed, and are used for hunting or sport purposes. These dogs love roaming around in free spaces, and when they are contained or restricted in a fenced in area, they are intelligent enough to find a way out. It can be quite an odd job and also very expensive to build a fence around your yard so that you establish a place where to contain your dog and this physical fence cannot even guarantee your dog will not find its way out. Nowadays, dog owners have also other options, based on technological advance, to establish a safe area for their dogs, and these options are less laborious than building a material fence. An electronic dog fence is a modern day marvel that will amaze you with its ease of use.
Though it is not difficult to install by yourself, usually this service is provided by a professional company.
Several sensors are placed around the fenced in area that interact with the specialized dog collar used for the fence. The collar will be detected by the sensors when your dog approaches at a certain distance of the border and then the collar is triggered to issue a warning beep. If the dog continues approaching the border, the collar will issue a slight shock.
A Dog's Purpose
This is the remarkable story of one endearing dog’s search for his purpose over the course of several lives. More than just another charming dog story, A Dog’s Purpose touches on the universal quest for an answer to life's most basic question: Why are we here?

Wired systems require wires to be buried in the ground with said wires emitting the radio signal that activates the receiver in the collar to release the beep and then the electric shock
There are also wireless systems that use sensors to detect the approach of the dog to the borders of the safe area and a central unit to transmit the triggering radio signal for the delivering of the set aversive stimuli.
GPS-based systems are becoming popular since these allow for faster and easier installation of the fence since the unit can be placed the designated area sans the physical effort required to install the wires or the central unit
Fourthly, your dog will be no more exposed to various risks.
Your dog will soon learn to stay out of the area where the collar beeps and gets it shocks.
You will benefit in the form of greater peace of mind as well as lower costs in getting your dog to the veterinary clinic. Or in spending for the hospital expenses of the people your dog may have bitten, for that matter.
You need not worry about the electric shocks given as part of an invisible Dog Fence. In general, these are mild shocks although adjustments can be made to account for certain factors.
