Petsafe shock collar is a tool to train your dog to obey your commands or stop an unexpected and unwanted behavior. This system can be used from smallest to biggest breed. In this system transmitter emits radio signals in certain range. A light weight receiver collar is tied around the neck of your pet. Your pet is free to roam anywhere in the range of the system. As soon as your pet reaches boundary line it will get warning signals. If it still tries to move on, it will get static correction which is slightly shocking but it won’t harm your pet.
Your dog will avoid miss behaving after little bit of training. And after some time there is no need of correction also. As your pet will start to link the correction with warning tone, in such case only warning tone is enough to stop it from miss behaving. Normally when your dog runs behind any stranger, barks at the mailman or digs a hole in your backyard it is considered as a problematic behavior by humans but it is perfectly normal behavior for a dog. In fact all this time your pet behaves as a normal dog. But this behavior can cause some damages to your property or some one may get hurt.
That’s why Petsafe shock collar are used to stop your dog from behaving like this, at wrong time and wrong place. These collars are designed to train your pet for behavior that is normally expected from him. Some measures are mentioned below which will help you to learn about training methods and use of this device.
To start with, put the collar on when your dog is doing something which he enjoys doing.
Don’t force your pet to wear this collar because if you force it, your pet may start to dislike the equipment. Keep the transmitter close to you even when you are not training your dog.
Until your dog is trained properly, do not set it free relying on collar only. Use a leash to control it till it gets trained, as you are not sure how will it react to stimulation that he receives from the transmitter.
Stimulation levels should be as low as possible. Observe dog’s reaction to stimulation. If he doesn’t react at all then go to higher levels. Finally set an ideal stimulation level for your dog. High stimulation level can cause panic in your pet. Users are strictly advised against using this device to control aggression from their pet. Start training your dog from commands he already knows. Avoid consistent use of this device, when you are training your dog do not use stimulation for orders that he doesn’t know. When pet looks like confused help him out playfully. Immediate rewards will encourage your pet to behave properly.
Do not change location of training frequently, as it will distract your pet and that might force consistent use of stimulation which is not recommended. Training sessions should be brief; don’t stretch training sessions that will drain your pet resulting in loss of concentration level.
Carefully observe positive changes in pet’s behavior and keep praising it all along the training period. Start playing with your dog as soon as it learns something new to encourage him to reach higher level.

Dog Collar Batteries – An Integral Part for Containing Your Dog
The popular gadget of Invisible fence is the dog collar which is used to keep dogs within the house perimeter.

How to Replace the Invisible Fence Collar Batteries?
Taking proper measures for the safety of your pet is one way of showing your love for it. Many refrain from the idea of containing pets within fences interpreting the idea as denying freedom to it. But just think who is at a greater loss when the pet runs away and gets hit by a vehicle or something? Who is at a problem when your pet ends up threatening or causing any damage to people nearby or others’ pet? This mandates the need for containing pets within fences. Here is a way you can do it very kindly.
Invisible fence is the best way you can contain your pets. An electric wire running across the fence sends a correction to the pet every time it tries to run out of it. The entire system consists of a transmitter, boundary wire and the collar which are in other words invisible fence collar batteries. An alarm is generated as the pet approaches the electric fence. The sound of the alarm increases as the animal gets more and closer to the fence. Thus you can reach to the place once you hear some extreme sound.
Sometimes you would like to grow more than a pet and you would want them to be friendly with each other. You can contain all of them within the same invisible fence. You can also contain your pet dog with its small ones in the same fence. Here is when the invisible fence collar batteries become an integral part. The collars are used to distinguish the correction that is rendered on the dog or the animal as it approaches the fence. If the invisible fence collar batteries are not functioning properly, your dog would have well escaped the fence at any chance. Thus it is important that you understand the significance, working, installation and replacement of the collar batteries for proper safety of your pet.
The average time that these invisible fence collar batteries last is about three to six months. This however largely depends on how often your dog tries to trespass the boundary line. However you need not have to keep worrying as to when the battery will drain away and if your pet will run away. There is often an indicator light on the invisible fence collar batteries that will let you know if the battery is dead.
When you replace the invisible fence collar batteries, make sure you do it indoor so that the pet doesn’t run away. Remove the collar from the dog as gently as you can and just turn it off. Unlock the screws on the battery holder and replace the older ones with the new ones.
Remember that the positive of the battery is along the side of the holder that carries a plus sign. Sometime there may be a lock bar which you may have to slide in order to replace the batteries. Fit the collar back onto the pet’s neck properly and check the working once before you let the dog wander freely within the fence.

Invisible Fence Batteries - Changing the Tradition
Most of us who owns a pet will agree that for them the safety and well being of their pets are more important than their own lives. If the pet happens to be a dog, then the emotion attached to it is usually a little too high because since time immemorial dogs have been treated as a family member of most people who own them.
There are number of a factor that threatens the safety of pets. Among all the factors the one that is particularly very scary is the thought of the dog running away and facing some kind of accident on the streets. In order to prevent such a disaster from happening companies have come up with the concept of invisible fence batteries.
These invisible fence batteries are a cheap alternative of traditional electric batteries that has been used for ages to control livestock. Electric fences emit very high degree of shockwaves which can be very fatal. On the economical side also they are too costly for most families to afford.
Alternatively invisible fence batteries do not come with any physical fencing. It works purely on radio wave technology. The pet s fitted with a radio collar, which emits a signal if the pet comes too close to the fence. In case the pet happens to be too stubborn and wishes to cross the fence then he receives a mild shock which doesn’t do any physical harm, but startles it, and prevents it from crossing the line.
In case you are worried about the level of shock and its consequences, then you can test the radio collar yourself by wearing it on your hand and can experience the effect. If you think the shock wave is just too much for the pet, then you ca n ask the company to trim down the power stimulus. This radio collar is absolutely safe, and the chance of the pet getting electrocuted in case of a heavy shower is almost nil.
Training a pet to remain within the invisible fence is definitely not a very easy task. Most companies who sell such batteries usually have professional trainers who can train the pet, to behave in a certain way and not cross the boundary line. For this purpose they put up small flags to demarcate boundary line which they should not cross. Care should be taken to ensure that these indivisible fence batteries are bought from authorized sellers who sell authentic batteries.
Before buying these batteries always ask for the warranty period and ensure about the pet training program. The life of the battery in most cases will depend on the behavior of the pet. If the pet happens to be disobedient and goes toward the boundary line frequently, then the battery life will quickly deplete, owing to repetitive alarm and warning sounds.
In conclusion we can only say that invisible fence batteries are a great way to ensure that your pet remains safe even in your absence without restricting its move movement greatly.
