Electric SportDOG Fence Systems

I'm sure you're asking yourself, there are so many diy dog fence systems available at America's Pet Store, how do I know which one is right for me? Generally speaking most of the electronic dog fence systems on the market today have very similar features and similar prices too, so what you need to know is what makes one system different from another. The SportDOG In Ground Fence System, (Sportdog SDF-100) is similar to most other wire dog fence systems on the market with a few notable exceptions which are listed below.

First, the most intriguing difference with the SportDog inground fence is the "anti-linger" feature which comes standard on the SportDog Fence. This innovative feature prevents the very smart dogs from running down the SportDog dog fence collar battery by hanging out in the warning zone. Once the battery has been depleted your dog is no longer confined and can roam the neighborhood. Can you believe it! That some dogs are smart enough to figure out how to run down the battery? It's true!

Second, the SportDog In-Ground Fence comes standard with 1,000 feet of wire. Most DIY in-ground fence systems come standard with only 500 feet of wire. This additional wire is great if you plan on confining your dog in over a 1/4 acre yard, because you will need the additional wire. You can purchase additional dog fence wire and flags, and you don't have to stick to just SportDog wire and flags, any pet fence wire will work fine. If you need pre-twisted wire, we would recommend the High Tech Pet Pre-Twisted Ultra wire. If you don't know how much wire you need to purchase for your yard, please refer to our article on how to determine the amount of pet fence wire needed for your yard.

The SportDog fence can support an unlimited number of dogs with the purchase of additional SportDog Collars SDF-R. These waterproof SportDog collar receivers also take a standard 9 volt battery, which is nice since these batteries are inexpensive unlike some underground dog fence systems. The transmitter also has a wire break alarm, which will notify you if the underground wire has a break in it.

Other helpful features of the SportDog SDF-100 Fence system are: built in lightning protection (so no need to purchase an additional lightning protection module like with other underground wire fence systems), and four adjustable levels of correction plus a tone only and vibration only setting. The SportDog In Ground Fence is suitable for all dogs over 10 pounds.
