More Electric Pet Fencing

berniek1

I have a small portion of a large yard that is fenced in. I want to install an electric pet fence from the gate to enclose part of the larger yard. My question is, how can I neutralize the portion that will run under the gate? I have seen plans that show using twisted wire from the control box to the outer boundary and plans that show a loop around the entire house, but these do not accomplish exactly what I would like to do. Another way to ask the question, is there a way to neutralize just one 4 foot section of a loop? Or can this section be buried deep enough or something place on top of or around to insulate or neultralize this section allowing the dog to walk over it without being shocked?

Thank you for your help with this,

Twisted sections are needed to neutralize an area. You might be able to double up or triple up that section and twist it enough to neutralize it.
Or, you might have to dig down about 3-4'. Depending on it's setting. it can reach pretty far. At least 3'.

Yes, pull about 10 or 12 feet of slack there at the gate, and twist it longitudinally to cancel the signal.

I rethought my answer last night. What I suggested and mdshunk agreed with might need to be modified. Because of the 'reach' of the wire, only twisting it under the gateway may only leave a VERY narrow area of neutrality in the center of the opening.

I believe you should allow enough to start twisting about 18" on each side of the opening. So loop about 15' of wire.

Stop using "electro shock" to train your pets, and start "walking the line" with them..

It is much more humane, and they will respond just as well.

Oh... I forgot, everyone wants the "pill" with "instant" answers. Sorry, walking the line involves actaully spending time with the pet.
