Using Dog Gates to House Train Your Dog - Pros and Cons

Using Dog Gates to House Train Your Dog - Pros and Cons
By Moses Wright

Training your using electric fences is a decision to be taken only after serious consideration. Your will need to be equipped with a special collar that receives special signals from the gate, or the 'E-gate'. The E-gate has special transmitters which are buried underground. If your travels too close to the electric fence, the transmitters will send a sign to the special collar on the dog. The collar will emit a beep, an unpleasant odor or a jolt to the dog, to discourage him form going too near the confines of the fence.

As some Home Owners Association rules and city ordinances do not allow for regular fences, an E-gate, though expensive, may be an option. For those with no back and front yard fences, an E-gate offers a solution if you want a dog, but are unable to establish a regular fence.

There are negatives that need to be considered though.

Dogs require thorough training in order for the E-gate to be successful, and it should not be used as a substitute for behavioral training. Dogs need to be taught to associate the deterrent with boundary limits. If this is not done, the E-gate will be rendered useless.

As they are an electrical device, they are not fool proof. They can be shorted by an electrical surge or lightning strikes, though not common and digging around the perimeter can also cause problems. When an E-gate is first installed, flags are used to mark the boundary, but are usually removed once the is trained. If they are left as they are, they can be shifted or moved by children or by machinery such as lawnmowers as well as a multitude of other factors. There is a chance that they could cut or wound when

they are extracted.

If a ignores the deterrent and moves past the fence, it is less likely to return inside the boundary voluntarily, and may realize that technically there is no 'real' boundary.

Many people also believe that as a deterrent, electric shocks are cruel, and are a counteractive way of eliciting the wanted behavior from your pet.

Your decision regarding an E-gate needs to be evaluated according to your situation. If kept entirely indoors except for when leashed, a dogs' need to run is denied, resulting in an unhappy and maladjusted pet. If you can make use of a park, this problem can be addressed, but many areas do not have close access, so the problem remains.

A standard height fence might seem to be the solution, but large dogs are often able to leap over these, and this can cause punctures and scrapes from chain link and wooden fence tops. Though the wound may be minor, a dogs' tendency to bite or scratch at them can make the injury worse, meaning a trip to the vet is required. An E-gate could be a more prudent choice, depending on the situation.

Every circumstance and situation is different, based on living conditions, type and character of and training techniques, so there is no overall effective method that can be implemented by every owner. Instead, the requirements of each situation need to be considered and enough information gathered so that you can make an informed choice.

However, if you still decide that an E-gate is the best bet for your specific circumstances, you should note that you must be prepared to deactivate the E-gate if it does more harm than good for your dog.
