How does invisible fence wire work?
Underground fencing works by transmitting an electronic current to a special collar worn by the dog. When the dog approaches the underground fence, the collar emits a warning sound. When the dog gets too close to the buried wire, the transmitter sends a signal to the collar, which administers a correction to the dog.
