Invisible Fence
In 1984 (Vol. 8, No. 4) FARM SHOW introduced us to a wonderful new product which has changed our lives and our livelihood. We obtained a dealership for the product, an "Invisible Fence"for dogs, and have now sold nearly 300 systems to customers in Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky. The invisible Fence consists of a thin wire buried 1 to 3 in. in the ground, a small waterproof receiver on the dog's collar, and a transmitter that installs in the house or garage. The transmit-ter sends a radio signal through the buried wire which circles the yard or farmstead. When the dog comes within a preset distance of the wire (anywhere from 5 to 30 ft.), the receiver attached to his collar picks up the radio signal and emits a high-pitched beeping noise which warns the dog to step back. If he doesn't move back within 2 seconds, he receives a small shock of 4 to 7 watts, enough to get the dog' attention with-out hurting it. It can be used to enclose any size farmyard area.
We bought our system in November, 1984 and got a dealership in November, 1985. The Invisible Fence is the best product we have ever purchased. We were skeptical when we first read about it but we would not sell our system now for $10,000 if we couldn't get another one. It's great because you can control your dog yet give him his freedom, and we love helping other people control their dogs with this great product. Many of our customers say it's the best investment they ever made.
Thanks again for telling us about this product at an early date. We might have been too late to get a dealership if not for FARM SHOW.
