Keeping pets safe and happy inside the home often means setting clear boundaries. An indoor dog fence is the perfect way to prevent your dog or cat from wandering into areas you’d prefer to keep off-limits, without relying on baby gates or constant reminders. With the proper setup, you can enjoy your pet’s company while maintaining control of your living spaces.
Why Choose an Indoor Dog Fence?
Pets are curious by nature. Whether it’s a dog sneaking into the kitty litter tray or onto the cat tower, a cat climbing the Christmas tree, or a cheeky pup eyeing off food on the kitchen bench, having boundaries indoors gives you peace of mind.
Unlike bulky gates or closed doors, Hidden Fence’s indoor pet fences are discreet, reliable, and simple to set up. A harmless, variable signal keeps your pet out of restricted areas, while they continue to enjoy the freedom of moving safely around the rest of your home.
Ingeniously, the same Hidden Fence receiver collar works both indoors and outdoors, allowing your pet to transition seamlessly from indoors to outdoors.
Tips for Setting Up Your Indoor Pet Fence
1. Decide Which Areas Need Protection
Think about the rooms or spaces where your pet causes the most mischief. Common problem areas include bedrooms, dining rooms, kitchen counters, or even around the Christmas tree during the holidays.
2. Choose the Right Model
Hidden Fence offers two leading solutions for indoor containment:
MB1 Wireless Indoor Fence
A portable, waterproof option with a rechargeable battery. The MB1 creates a pet-free zone up to 3m in diameter, perfect for smaller spaces or when you need flexibility without plugging in
MB2 Indoor Fence
The MB2 is a versatile system that can be used with or without a boundary wire. Protect larger defined spaces with a wired setup, or use the wireless option to cover smaller areas up to 3.5m in diameter.
3. Position the Transmitter Carefully
Place your transmitter in the exact location you want to protect, for example, near the dining table, beside your couch, or around the bin. The system creates a reliable barrier that teaches your pet where they can and cannot go.
4. Keep Training Consistent
Pets quickly learn boundaries when training is consistent. Use positive reinforcement when your dog or cat respects the new “no-go zones.” Within days, most pets understand their limits.
5. Expand If Needed
Need to protect multiple rooms? Hidden Fence dealers can install the Scoot!™ wired indoor system, enabling you to keep pets out of multiple areas simultaneously.
Tricks to Maximise Your Indoor Dog Fence
- Combine with your outdoor system – one collar does it all.
- Protect furniture and décor – keep cats away from couches or Christmas decorations.
- Promote harmony – stop dogs from accessing kitty litter trays.
- Take advantage of portability – bring your MB1 with you when visiting friends or family.
Indoor Dog Fence Installation is Simple
Setting up your Hidden Fence system doesn’t require complex tools or renovations. Simply place the transmitter where needed, adjust the settings, and let the system do the work. If you prefer a permanent installation, your local Hidden Fence Dealer can help design and install the ideal solution for your home.
