I am considering purchasing an Invisible Fence® system and I have a question about:
- When can I start training my puppy to an Invisible Fence system?
- Can my cat use the Invisible Fence system?
- What is Safe Dog® training?
- Do you have training videos on how to train my dog
to the Invisible Fence system?
- Are there any specific breeds that cannot be trained
to the Invisible Fence system?
- Will I be able to take my dog for a walk after he is
trained to stay within his Invisible Fence boundary?
- Is an Invisible Fence system safe for my dog?
- Does the correction hurt the dog?
- What does the correction feel like?
- How many pets can I have on my Invisible Fence system?
- Can Invisible Fence Brand be used with a pregnant dog?
- Will my Invisible Fence system work with my small dog?
- How long will it take to train my dog to her new boundaries?
- Can I leave my dog unattended in the yard while I'm at work?
Your local Invisible Fence professional will help evaluate your dog and/or situation.

Yes. Your cat can use the Invisible Fence system, both outdoors and indoors. The outdoor system keeps your cat safe at home while allowing him outdoor exercise. Indoor systems keep your cat away from counters, tables, and furniture or out of a room entirely; you can create a cat-free zone anywhere in your home. The featherweight Computer Collar® is small and light enough to be worn by a cat.

We believe that with appropriate training, just about all dogs regardless of breed can be safely and effectively trained to an Invisible Fence system. Every dog is an individual with different personalities and temperaments. Our Safe Dog ® training protocols have been developed to teach dogs, regardless of breed, age, or personality to respect their Invisible Fence boundary.

We encourage you to take your dog for a walk. However, we recommend that he is completely trained to the Invisible Fence system and all the flags have been removed, which usually takes a couple of weeks, before taking him on walks.

The correction from a Computer Collar ® may be uncomfortable and startling to your dog, but it will not hurt him. Many dogs only feel the correction once or twice and don't challenge the system afterwards.

The correction from a Computer Collar ® is similar to the sensation you feel when you walk across a carpet and touch a metal doorknob. The sensation momentarily surprises you and gets your attention.

You can place multiple pets on the same Invisible Fence system. However, each pet needs to wear his own customized Computer Collar® .

In over 25 years we have found no evidence that suggests an Invisible Fence system produces any detrimental effects on or risks for a pregnant dog. We have had veterinary reports of many pregnant dogs, dogs in season, and dogs conceiving while on the Invisible Fence system. Nevertheless, we always recommend a conservative approach. If, for some reason, you have reservations about putting a pregnant dog on the system, we recommend that you consult with your veterinarian.

Yes, in over 25 years, dogs of just about all size, breed, age, and temperament have successfully been trained to the Invisible Fence system. The featherweight Computer Collar® is small and light enough to be worn by even the smallest breeds like Yorkshire Terriers, Pekingese, Dachshunds, Chihuahuas and Pomeranians.

On average, Safe Dog® training takes 2-3 weeks. However, since each dog is an individual with different personalities and temperaments, the length of training may vary.

Animal experts do not recommend leaving pets outside unattended for long periods of time regardless of how they are contained.
