There are various types of dog containment systems found for keeping your dog restricted to a certain area. Of the lot, the wireless dog containment system is the most flexible and easy to install. It consists of a transmitter working with a collar receiver. You can take the transmitter of the wireless containment system and use it anywhere you like. The only drawback here is that the area covered by it is usually smaller, and in a pre-defined shape.

To install the wireless dog containment system, you have to put the transmitter in the required room and turn it on. Then the receiver collar has to be put on the dog. If you want to restrict the dog to only one part of the home or garden, you should use a single transmitter, but if you plan to define two or more areas that are either conjoined or completely separate, you have to use double or multiple transmitter installations. As these transmitters are installed separately, you can put the dog in one place or another, without actually having to re-set the transmitter each time. Maintenance of the wireless containment system includes periodic monitoring to ensure its proper working, and physical checking of the wires for signs of wear. Have back-up systems charged regularly and replace used batteries in the receiver on a regular basis.

The transmitter of the wireless dog containment system emits a radio signal from the room it is located in. This defines the boundary for the dog. There is a lightweight collar on the dog that listens to this signal, so that the dog knows that it is free to run and play in the yard with the signal. However, if the dog reaches the boundary of the signal, the dog receives a warning beep; and if it still does not retreat from the boundary, a correction is given to him. With some training, the dog is bound to learn its boundaries.
