In-Ground and Wireless Dog Fences for Akita Inus

The days of suffering with those hideous fences for your Akita Inu are slowly coming to an end thanks to cutting edge new invisible dog fence and containment products on the market.

No happy dog, including your Akita Inu wants to reside behind a fence. Typical dog fences tend to squash that feeling of freedom and independance that being in the great outdoors provides. With modern technology, your Akita Inu can feel like the king of his domain when you utilize a wireless dog fence or an in-ground dog fence.

So, if you see little white or orange flags instead of typical dog fences, know that this is a sure sign of an installed in-ground dog fence.

Wireless or in-ground dog fences are much more cost effective to install and usually costs much less than a physical dog fence or pen. Also, you are not stuck with an unsightly fence in your yard. It only takes a fairly simple installation and a couple of training sessions with your Akita Inu to liberate your dog from typical fences. Once your dog gets acclimated, the wireless or electronic dog fence safely your Akita Inu at home (or close to home).

The Types of Invisible Dog Fences Available

There are a couple of categories of invisible dog fences available on the market for you to use to contain your Akita Inu. Often, most top manufacturers like Innotek, Perimeter and PetSafe offer a basic set of features, advanced features and advanced training features built in.

• In-Ground Dog Fences: These dog fences are great for larger yard areas (sometimes up to 25 acres) and are usually simple to install. To get the fence installed, simply connect the buried wire loop to the indoor radio transmitter. When your Akita Inu gets near the wire, he will be gently reminded to move away with a shock to discourage him from crossing the boundary. As the dog figures this out, he will not get too close to the boundary because of the slight static shock. This is a great system for humane Akita Inu containment.

• Wireless or Radio Dog Fences: These advanced dog fences work by using radion waves from a transmitter that you plug into a standard wall power outlet. The further your Akita Inu goes away from the base radio transmitter, the slight static charge from the collar increases as a warning to return home. Wireless radio dog fences work best for smaller areas, such as small yards or even inside the home or a recreational vehicle.

Both types of dog fences are 100% safe and harmless for your Akita Inu, so rest assured that your Akita Inu is safe! Wireless and in-ground dog fences use a slight static charge to alter the dogs actions. There is no chance of electrocution, as the lightweight waterproof collars use a small lithium rechargable battery to provide the charge.
