The animal containment apparatus provides a stand alone apparatus that may be used singularly or in plurality. Each apparatus has an adjustable angle sensor that may be set to encompass any angle up to about 180 degrees. Each sensor senses incursion of an object, alive or otherwise, into its set range area. Animals, people, or even propelled objects are sensed. A key feature is that sensed objects do not have to wear any sort of device in cooperation with the apparatus. Sensation of such objects and life forms trigger each apparatus to emit a user recorded sound. The sound may be a command or any other chosen recording. Of significant advantage is that the recorder/sound interface provides for an animals master to record commands in a voice and structure as recognized by the animal.
