Wireless dog fence or wired dog fence – what's the difference? 🐕🌳
They might sound similar, but the way they create a safe boundary for your dog is very different.
A wireless dog fence typically creates a circular boundary around a transmitter. A wired dog fence can follow the actual shape of your property – around hedges, across driveways and over uneven ground, as well as through woodland and around outbuildings.
We've put together a new guide explaining:
