In-Ground Fences are a great method of keeping your dog safe and from straying away from home.  In-Ground Fences utilize three components to keep your pet contained: a transmitter, a buried wire and a collar worn by your dog.  The wire is run and buried around your yard defining the containment area.  The transmitter sends a signal through the wire which will activate the collar.  When the dog gets close the wire, he receives a warning tone.  If the dog gets too close to the wire, he will receive a static correction.  With proper training, the correction will cause your dog to return to the containment area.  An advantage of an In-Ground Fence over a Wireless Fence is that there are virtually no limits to the shape of the containment area.  Another advantage is that the coverage area can be greater than 5 acres.  The disadvantage of an In-Ground Fence to a Wireless Fence is the installation.  With an In-Ground Fence, the wire must be run to create the containment area.  Usually the wire is then buried, but the wire can remain above ground with the use of sod staples.  Leaving the wire above ground does reduce the labor of burying the wire, but leaves it exposed and more vulnerable to damage that could cause the Pet Fence to be ineffective.  For this reason, it is recommended to bury the wire whenever possible.
