- How does an Invisible Fence® Brand system work outdoors?
Very simply, a wire is installed around the perimeter of your property, establishing your pet's Invisible Boundary®. A transmitter, usually placed in your basement or garage, sends a radio signal along the wire. The radio signal is picked up by your pet's Computer Collar®, which emits a warning sound when your pet approaches the Invisible Boundary®. Proper training is critical to ensure that your pet understands and stays within the established boundaries. During the training process, your Professional Pet Trainer will introduce the customized static correction to your pet which reinforces the boundaries of your property and tells your pet clearly where they can and cannot go.

- Can I have more than one dog/cat on my Invisible Fence® Brand system?

Also, our Shields
® Avoidance solutions offer the unique ability to designate specific areas where each pet can go in and around the home.

- Can an Invisible Fence® Brand system be used with a pregnant or nursing dog/cat?
Yes, Invisible Fence® Brand is completely safe to use with pregnant and nursing pets. In over 35 years we have found no evidence that suggests an Invisible Fence® Brand system produces any detrimental effects or risks for a pregnant pet. We have had veterinary reports of many pregnant pets, pets in season, and pets conceiving while on the Invisible Fence® Brand system. In the best interest of the pet, we will always advise that each owner check with their veterinarian if they have concerns regarding containment.
- Since you can't see the Invisible Fence® Brand system, how will people know my dog/cat is contained?
You will be provided with a yard sign to inform neighbors that your pet is safely contained on your property by an Invisible Fence® Brand system.
- What is the difference between Invisible Fence® Brand and systems installed by other companies?
The theories behind many electronic pet containment brands are similar, however, the quality and level of service is light-years apart.
- Invisible Fence® Brand is sold and serviced exclusively through our international network of Invisible Fence® Brand dealers. You can be confident that you are working with experienced, highly trained professionals today and for years to come.
- Invisible Fence® Brand manufactures state of the art equipment – because you’re relying on it to keep your pet safe – every day. Every pet is unique and different, so our Computer Collar® has thousands of customized settings and is custom programmed to your pet.
- Our certified training programs have been developed with animal experts, behaviorists, trainers and veterinarians to give your pet effective, stress-free lessons. Proper training is critical to ensure that your pet understands and stays within the established boundaries.
- What is the difference between Invisible Fence® Brand pet containment systems and the systems sold at pet stores or in catalogs?
The most important difference is our international network of Invisible Fence® Brand dealers who will customize and install a solution that best meets your needs and will safely and effectively train your pet. Your local professional will also be able to answer your questions and help with any additional needs you may have. You just won’t get this level of service and support with a system sold in a store. It is not uncommon for some people to have failures from low grade, store-bought equipment or to have behavior problems from improper training or correction levels.
- Where can I purchase batteries for my Invisible Fence® Brand Computer Collar®?
Power Cap
® Batteries for your Invisible Fence
® Brand Computer Collar
® can be purchased through our online store or by calling 866-804-1250. We recommend keeping your pet on an annual Power Cap
® Plan – it’s the safest, easiest and most reliable way to guarantee your pet’s safety 100% of the time. Don’t wait until your pet figures out their Power Cap
® is drained – keep a fresh Power Cap
® battery in their collar at all times.

- Why have I heard of pets that get out of their yard or run through the "Invisible Fence?"
Invisible Fence
® Brand has a 99.5% success rate because of our superior products and professional training. So most likely someone is generically using the term "Invisible Fence" when actually referring to another brand of pet containment. Some brands, especially store-bought systems, do not come with professional training which can lead to a higher rate of pets getting through the system. Invisible Fence
® Brand is the original innovator with professional, customized training and over 35 years of experience!
The rare incidence of a pet crossing through an actual Invisible Fence
® Boundary can usually be attributed to one of three factors:
- (1) Drained batteries. Drained batteries are easily preventable by ensuring the Power Cap® battery is changed every 3 months.
- (2) Pet’s not wearing the Computer Collar®. The Computer Collar® should be worn every time the pet is outdoors.
- (3) Wire breaks. Wire breaks are rare but can occur when homeowners are digging near the wire with a shovel, irrigating their lawn, etc. Should a wire break occur we recommend contacting us immediately to have the wire fixed. In the meantime, the pet should be kept safe by using another method of containment.
- Will the Invisible Fence® Brand system keep other animals off of my property?
The Invisible Fence® Brand system is designed to keep your own pet safe at home and contained on your property. It is not designed to keep other animals, or people, off of your property.
- Will the Invisible Fence® Brand system work for small dogs?
Yes! Dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments have successfully been trained to the Invisible Fence® Brand system. Our featherweight MicroLite™ Computer Collar® is the smallest and most advanced collar available. Weighing in at just one ounce, it’s easily worn by even the smallest breeds including Yorkshire Terriers, Pekingese, Dachshunds, Chihuahuas and Pomeranians.
