EVERY day in Australia, hundreds of dogs stray from home and become lost or injured. Owners become frustrated seeking alternative solutions generally denying their pet freedom and exercise.
For pet owners there is nothing worse than the realisation that accompanies the “Oh no, who let the dog out?”.
At one time or another most dog owners have tried locking the dog in the garage, building expensive fences that potentially a dog could dig under or climb over or restraining their pet with a chain or rope, which can prove to be cruel and just as frustrating for the animal.
Since 1995, Innotek Australia has been providing behaviour solutions to thousands of Australian dog owners who are now choosing to enclose their dogs safely and humanely by installing Innotek’s Smart Dog pet containment system.
The Smart Dog system works on the principle of a boundary wire on the property in which the owner wishes to contain their pet. The dog is equipped with a special computerised collar that picks up a radio signal from the wire when it gets close to the boundary.
The dog first receives an audible warning tone in its collar and if the dog proceeds further, a harmless static impulse that reminds it to stay in the yard.
The stimulation level can be set by the owner to match the dog’s temperament. Training flags are positioned around the boundary area to help the dog recognise its new boundaries. Most dogs will be trained to stay within the property in 14 days.
Innotek’s managing director John Holliday shares his personal experience with his two Dalmatians, Sparky and Sammy.
“We installed our pet containment system on two acres of very steep, virtually unfenceable land. Our dogs quickly recognise their boundary but they don’t have to be tied up or locked away,” Mr Holliday said.
“Whenever we leave the dogs, we feel comfortable in the knowledge that our dogs are secure and they have the freedom to roam without escaping onto a busy road.”
From the smallest little escape artist Jack Russell terrier to large strong willed Boxers, Innotek offers a solution to suit your dog and property specifications.
