How Invisible Fence® Brand Works

No; Invisible Fence is safe and humane for pets. In fact, Our Perfect Start™ Plus Training program is recommended by veterinarians, professional dog trainers, behaviorists, and other pet experts. Unlike DIY dog fences and other pet fence companies, our training is customized to each pet, so you can be confident in your pet's safety.

Yes! Dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments have successfully been trained on Invisible Fence. Our featherweight MicroLite® Computer Collar® Receiver is the smallest and most advanced collar available. Weighing in at just one ounce, it’s easily worn by even the smallest dog breeds, including Yorkshire Terriers, Pekingese, Dachshunds, Chihuahuas and Pomeranians, as well as cats.

Every dog, family and property is unique, which is why we customize every Invisible Fence system to meet your specific needs. Size of property, type of equipment purchased and number of pets on the system are all factors that must be considered when determining the final price.

We’ll help you determine a solution that will fit your needs and your budget. To get an exact price, schedule a FREE, no-obligation, consultation in the convenience of your home by calling us at 800-578-3647 or click here to schedule online.

First, a wire is installed around the perimeter of your property, establishing your pet's Invisible Boundary® perimeter. A transmitter, usually placed in your basement or garage, sends a radio signal along the wire. The radio signal is picked up by your pet's Computer Collar, which emits a warning sound when your pet approaches the Invisible Boundary.

Proper training is critical to ensure that your pet understands and stays within the established boundaries. That is why we create our Perfect Start Plus Training Program. During the training process, your professional certified Pet Trainer will introduce the customized static correction to your pet which reinforces the boundaries of your property and tells your pet clearly where they can and cannot go. Contact your local Invisible Fence Brand professional for more information.

Yes. While the correction from a Computer Collar Receiver may be uncomfortable and startling to your pet, it will not hurt them. Many pets only feel the correction once or twice and don't challenge the system afterwards.

It is important to note that we have thousands of different customizable corrections and the correction used is based on the personality of your pet, not the size or breed. The static correction from a Computer Collar Receiver is similar to the sensation you feel when you run your hand across a TV screen or when you walk across a carpet and touch a metal doorknob. The sensation momentarily surprises you and gets your attention.

Yes! Cats can be successfully trained to use the Invisible Fence system, both outdoors and indoors. Our featherweight MicroLite Computer Collar Receiver is the smallest and most advanced collar available. Weighing in at just one ounce, it’s easily worn by cats.

Our MicroLite Computer Collar unit is so small it only weighs 1 ounce. Measurements are approximately 1.75" wide x 1" tall x 1" deep.

Yes, your Invisible Fence solution is completely safe to use with pregnant and nursing pets. In more than 45 years we have found no evidence that suggests an Invisible Fence system produces detrimental effects for a pregnant pet. We have had veterinary reports of many pregnant pets, pets in season, and pets conceiving while on the Invisible Fence system. In the best interest of the pet, we will always advise that each owner check with their veterinarian if they have concerns regarding containment.
