Do You Need a Pet Barrier to Create a No Trespassing Zone for Your Pet?
How do you keep your own animal away from certain areas of your home or yard? There are several methods: 1.
You can constantly yell 2.
You can leash the animal 3.
You can physically block the area 4.
You can squirt water at the animal 5.
You can set up a pet barrier or avoidance product.
Yelling is the worse method! It causes anxiety for the pet and the owner.
It doesn't work either.
Your animal quickly learns not to go there when you are around but usually takes full advantage when you're not! Leashing the animal works sometimes.
This works for outdoor areas providing your dog still has room to roam.
However a leash can easily get wrapped around a tree, rock or something in the yard and most dogs or cats are not smart enough to unwind themselves.
The leash has its limits; it either prevents the location from availability or it doesn't.
But what if your garden, for instance, is in the middle of the yard? An underground electric dog fence can be set up to avoid that area.
Blocking the area can also work at times.
You can close the door to the baby's room so your dog or cat cannot get in.
What if that is not possible or the baby is up and playing in a designated safe area of a larger space like your living room? How do you keep an excited animal from licking or knocking the baby over? An indoor pet barrier could be the answer.
Squirting water at an animal's face can be very effective.
It doesn't hurt and most animals don't like it so will run or turn away.
However, you have to be there to correct the behavior, and your pet will associate you with such poorly managed correction and start to avoid you instead of associating the unwanted behavior with the protected area.
Is your couch or trash suppose to be off limits? What can you use to keep the animals off the couch when no one is there to correct the behavior? Try a pet mat that provides a harmless static correction to help your pet quickly learn to avoid the areas you choose to protect.
So consider an electronic avoidance product, like an indoor cat fence or wireless dog fence.
Either works whether you are there or not.
The pet mat contains a battery operated mild electric shock that the dog or cat will receive when touching the mat placed over the protected area, like your couch or your kitchen counter.
There is never any danger of injury and your pet will associate the correction with the area where his mischief occurred and stop the behavior.
The mats come in two sizes and because they are battery operated, can be moved from one area to another very easily.
Put a receiver collar on your pet that works in conjunction with a transmitter.
This indoor pet barrier can be placed anywhere, near the front door, outside the baby's room, hanging on a wall or wherever you like.
The transmitter sends a signal out in a radius that adjusts from 2-12 feet to suit your needs.
It, too, runs on batteries that usually last about six months depending on total usage.
You can use as many collars and transmitters as you need so if you have multiple dogs or cats the system will work on all of them and in as many places as you need.
