Just a brief shock..just al little more than touching your tongue to a 9 volt battery to see of it is alive..Unless it is an above ground fence..then it is quite a jolt, but dosn't casue harm..believe me, I have touched a lot of them..lol
the underground fence is tested, by wearring or holding the collar, and walking along the fence line...

i'm no longer a #a million fan of the electric powered fence, yet when that's that as against no fence in any respect then i could absolutely bypass with the electric powered fence. it truly is a more effective acceptable selection than having your canines run into the line and likely get harm or killed with the help of a shifting motorcar. The fence is particularly immediately-ahead - you bury the markers and they deliver about an invisible barrier. The canines wears a marvel collar that is programmed to provide them a low-toned caution at the same time as they arrive interior some feet of the invisible fence, then a marvel at the same time as they bypass over the line. The dogs learn rapidly to associate the tone with drawing close the point of the invisible boundary, and maximum dogs learn the position the fence is exactly interior some days. It would not harm them (the marvel does harm slightly, besides the undeniable fact that it would not reason them actual harm... you could positioned on the collar your self and walk in the approach the line to work out the way it feels) and prefer I stated, it truly is a more effective acceptable selection to having the canines run loose without fence in any respect. no longer the suited selection, yet no longer the worst both.

it honestly depends on the fence if it a cheap fence from the stores then they get a shock from hanging a around in the warning zone, or if they cross the fence(when collar and fence align). If you spend alot of money on the professional ones they can set that collar to shock a certain amount of feet before the fence if they hang around in the warning zone and for a period after the fence spending on the dog. My fence shocks one dog at about one foot away and another at about three feet and another at about six inches cuz each one tests the fence differently. Then the dog that has the three foot, also gets shocked up to three feet after the fence the other two feet and the other six inches. Now if anyone of my dogs got their collars caught in the bushes that are in the warning zone they'd get shocked for about 5 secs. then the system would shut that collar down until the dog crossed back over the warning zone. The down fall to the fence is that once the dog crosses the fence with the collar on and gets corrected he/she must cross the fence and get corrected for coming back. Other then that the pet stop fence I have is AWESOME worth every penny.

when the dog crosses the fence they will receive a shock. There is not a continuous supply of power. However if the dog continues to stand over the wire they will get shocked several times.

I've use these kinds of fences for years. if the dog keeps touching the fence it will continually shock them. most dogs tough once then will not get within 2 feet of the fence even when its not plugged in. i do know of 1 dog that just would not learn to stay away from it.he would get all tangled up in the wire. he belonged to a friend so he was not invited back to my house. once they have been shocked you will not need to plug it in . I think they can hear the current running through the wire.

Most electric fences have a warning zone.
When the dog gets to close to the line several beeps will sound to warn the dog to back away.
If the dog wants to "test the line" and continues on, then they will get a shock.
As soon as they back away the shock stops.
We have one and it works very well at keeping our dogs in our yard.
The bad news is that it does not keep other animals out of your yard.
We put our fence in 4 years ago.
The first year our dogs wore their collars.
Now we don't even need to put them on, the dogs know their boundaries and stay in it, even when other dogs (and we have had a horse and stray lama go by too) go by, they stay in their yard.

They simultaniously shock every dog in town with varying degrees of sevarity depending on how close the dog is to the fence and how many AA batteries the fence requires. It is a constant shock.

they only give them brief shocks when they cross the fence.

brief shocks.
when a cow touches the fence with her wet nose, it takes a moment before it shocks her.
a dog could hop through and not get zapped.
