Canifence

Canifence is our entry level 'invisible' dog fence which enables you to keep one or more dogs in complete freedom within a perimeter defined by you without the need for an ugly containment fence. Canifence works with up to 400m of wire (kit supplied with 100m of wire). If you need to cover a greater distance, please consider our Canifence Pro product.

An unlimited number of receiver collars can be used with one perimeter wire so you can contain as many dogs as you wish safely in the same area. Canifence is adaptable to all types of terrain: open, wooded, hilly, fenced or unfenced.

How does it work?
A discrete perimeter wire (up to 400m) is placed on the ground, buried or raised on an existing fence (non metal). This wire carries a signal from a small transmitter unit. The dog wears a discrete receiver collar that receives a signal when he approaches the perimeter wire.

When you dog first approaches the wire he enters the warning zone and is warned by a beep from the collar. As he gets closer to the wire he enters the correction zone and is corrected by small electrical impulses. As he leaves the area the impulses stop. After a few days, as the dog learns the boundary the electrical impulses can be reduced and the collar used to emit sound beeps only. Eventually the collar can be removed altogether. (As an alternative, a dummy collar can be used at this stage.)

Adjustments:
Canifence can be tailored to any dog and any layout. The zones and electrical impulse strength are fully adjustable from the control unit as follows:

Warning Zone: 6m – 0.4m from perimeter wire

Correction Zone: 1.5m – 0.3m from perimeter wire

Note that you can adjust the warning zone independently of the correction zone making the Canifence is the most flexible system on the market today.

Impulse Strength:
Level 1 (small sensitive dog) – Level 8 (large dog with difficult temperament) An unlimited number of receiver collars can be used with one perimeter wire so you can contain as many dogs as you wish safely in the same area. Canifence is adaptable to all types of terrain: open, wooded, hilly, fenced or unfenced

The Dummy Collar
We recommend the use of the Canifence dummy collar (available as an optional extra) both before and after 'live' training. The dummy collar is worn in advance of training to allow your dog to get used the size and shape of the real collar so when you do commence training the dog feels natural and is not preoccupied with the collar itself. It's important that the dog does not associate the electrical impulses with the collar itself. Where this does happen the dummy collar can be effective when used after training.
