Best Friend Fence vs. Electric Fence

Best Friend Fence is a visually unobtrusive dog fence system. Unlike an electronic dog fence, Best Friend Fence makes no use of electricity or shocking animals to keep your pets within a designated area. Electronic, or radio dog fence uses a wire buried around your yard to emit a radio frequency of a limited range.

To use a radio dog fence, your dog is required to wear a special shock-emitting collar and must undergo training to learn not to approach the “radio broadcast area”.

An electronic dog fence is not a physical barrier. If the batteries in the collar run low, or your dog chooses to endure an uncomfortable shock while running through the transmission zone, your pet can easily leave the enclosure area.
