The receiver collar is connected to the GPS program that sends an alert to the receiver collar if the pet approaches the boundary and corrects the pet if it does not retreat from the boundary. Mapping the fence boundary is often done by using cellular technology. Wireless GPS pet fences, by contrast, use satellites to map a specific boundary (geo-fence) for the pet instead of using a buried wire and a fixed radio signal.

After training, most pets stay away from the buried wire and remain within the designated safe area. The pet quickly learns that the correction is uncomfortable and avoids the buried boundary wire. To reinforce the training, if your pet gets too close to the buried wire, the receiver collar delivers a brief static impulse (correction). Through a simple training program using flags to mark the area where it is safe to play, your pet learns to recognize where it is safe and where the alert is triggered. If your pet gets too close to the underground wire, the radio signal triggers a ‘beeping’ noise from the receiver collar that alerts the dog (or cat) to retreat away from the buried wire. Your pet wears a collar programmed to detect the radio signal (called a receiver collar.) The wire is connected to a transmitter mounted in your house or garage that sends a harmless, coded radio signal through this wire. Most electronic pet fence systems (including a DogWatch® Hidden Fence, Invisible Fence® and other brands) feature a buried wire, typically two-to-six inches underground. Funny thing is, he was a nice dog, we got to meet him and his mom but have never seen him in the year and a half since.Are you considering a wireless GPS electronic pet fence (frequently referred to generically as an “invisible fence”*) to keep your dog in your yard? How do wireless GPS systems compare to a traditional wired (underground) electronic dog fence? Do they provide the same level of safety for your pet? Overview Was possibly/probably a training issue, an over-friendly puppers or lack of a good 'zap' and No Fear of the consequences from the fence. The one second of shock was way less than his desire/will power to come say hi to us. I didn't actually know what the fence was supposed to do or how it was supposed to affect the dog(intensity, duration or proximity). Not that I would have as I'm a HUGE dog lover and wouldn't do anything until he provoked the situation, but I was amazed that the electric fence did absolutely nothing to stop his advance. She is following him running and screaming not to shoot him. We side-step his approach and he immediately goes to the ground and sits there wagging his tail. Now it's time to see what happens as he gets close. The lady, still screaming, yells that he's friendly! The dogs runs right thru the invisible fence, yelps once but doesn't even slow down. I push Jen behind me, draw my CC(bear, coyote, fox everywhere here) and wait to see what is going to happen.

The woman of the house is screaming the dogs name frantically to no avail.

As soon as the door opens, a medium size American Staffordshire Terrier(pit bull) comes running at us full-tilt barking the whole time. Now, the house is set back 100' from the road and has a nice grassy front yard. On a walk one evening, we were most of the way back home and while passing a newly built house, the front door opens. Big lots, few houses and a couple of miles of paved roads. We live in a development of sorts out in the country. I don't have any experience with an electric fence to add to this but do have a little story.
