A
Brief History of the Dog:
While the details surrounding when
the partnership between dogs and
humans happened is still a controversial
issue, it most likely happened somewhere
between 10,000 and 15,000 years
ago. Though it is still believed,
and can be stated with some degree
of certainty, that our relationship
was one born out of necessity, no
one really knows for sure why it
happened. So it has become widely
accepted that the dogs wanted shelter
and a solid food source, and humans
wanted companionship and protection
from the wilds of nature.
Recognized dog
breeds are a result of human
selection, in that dogs were traditionally
bred for specific functions. Most
existing dog breeds began as mixed
breeds, either by random occurrence
or by deliberate crosses of existing
breeds. While encouraging desirable
traits and discouraging others,
breeders sought to create the ideal
appearance or behavior, or both
for dogs. Additionally, this was
done to ensure that the dogs could
consistently produce offspring with
the same appearance or behavior.
Mixing breeds can lead to desirable
results, especially in the hands
of an expert breeder. On the other
hand, inexperienced crossbreeders
can produce disastrous results.
Above Ground Installation
of Dog Containment Systems
Most people believe that the wire
use in dog containment systems must
be buried “underground.”
That impression is simply not true.
It is still recommended, however,
burying the wire so you don’t
practically need to deal with it
over and over again.
But for some reasons, other people
are not able to do these things.
And if you are one of those dealing
with this dilemma that stops you
from buying one containment system,
here’s an interesting and
truly helpful product especially
created for your needs.
Containment of your dogs using
the underground fence will never
be a problem again just because
you are renting your house, or don’t
have any tools or no one will dig
the ground for you.
With the wire securing staples,
the hardest thing to do before will
now be as easy as 1-2 steps. All
you have to do is to lay the wire
down and after a good rain the wire
will sink and you won’t be
able to see it again. Isn’t
it a perfect hassle free solution
to your installation difficulties?
Here are the simple steps in installing
dog proof fencing for you to follow:
- First lay out your boundary
wire in your desired shape and
around the area you want to contain.
From your boundary wire run twisted
wire to your transmitter and pug
it in.
- Once you have decide the system
you chose is correct for you,
"Staple" the twisted
wire to the ground by hammering
in a wire "Staple" every
5 - 6 feet.
- Now stop and look at the wire.
Is it completely flush to the
ground all the way to the start
of the boundary? The wire MUST
completely touch the ground. If
not go and "Staple"
any raised areas before proceeding
to the next step.
- Place a "Staple" where
the twisted wire and the beginning
of the boundary meet (if you have
a splice in this area please dig
a small hole about 2 inches deep
and bury the splice. Then place
a "Staple" in the front
of and behind the splice to relieve
any pressure on the splice).
- Next, walk to the first corner
of your boundary and "Staple"
it to the ground. Repeat this
step for all corners of your boundary.
(Not all yards are square if you
do not have corners on your boundary
please select multiple anchor
points for the wire).
- Now place staples as needed
and make sure to staple any raised
areas down until they are completely
flush with the ground, for maximum
safety for you and your guests.
