How the Wireless Fence Pet Training System works

The Wireless Fence Pet Training System comes with a portable Wireless Fence Unit that establishes an invisible boundary by transmitting radio signals to the Pet Collar Unit up to a distance of 50 yards line of sight. When your dog reaches the boundary zone (about 2 to 3 feet before the “real” boundary), the Pet Collar Unit that is worn on your dog emits a warning beep followed by static correction to get its attention until it backs away from the boundary zone. The Pet Collar Unit is equipped with a safety feature such that it will stop delivering static correction if your dog stays outside the boundary for more than 30 seconds.The boundary zone can be marked with Boundary Flags as a visual aid for your dog, especially during the training stage. The Wireless Fence Pet Training System also comes with a Remote Control Unit that is paired with the Pet Collar Unit. At the push of the

on the Remote Control Unit, a signal is sent to the Pet Collar Unit, which delivers static correction to your dog to discourage your dog from certain behaviors. The Remote Control Unit is also designed with a

Important guidelines when using the Wireless Fence Pet Training System

• Included in your Wireless Fence Pet Training System are Collar Contacts in three

different lengths (short, medium and long) that deliver static correction to your dog. Choose the appropriate length for your dog’s hair coat. The Pet Collar Unit was shipped with medium Collar Contacts that are suitable for dogs with medium hair coats. If your dog has dense coat or undercoat, use one of the longer Collar Contacts included with the product.

• Proper fit of the Pet Collar Unit is critical to the performance and effectiveness of

the Wireless Fence Pet Training System. If the fit is too loose, the Pet Collar Unit will not be able to get sufficient contact with the skin to deliver static correction. If the fit is too tight, it will irritate your dog’s skin. Tighten the Pet Collar Unit high on your dog’s neck, tight enough that you can get two fingers between the collar strap and your dog. It should not be able to rotate around the neck.

• Do not make your dog wear the Pet Collar Unit for more than 12 hours

continuously to avoid skin irritation.

• Do not connect a leash to the Pet Collar Unit as this might pull the Collar Contacts too

tight against your dog’s neck. When connecting a separate collar for the leash, make sure that it does not add pressure on the Pet Collar Unit.

• Check the contact area on your dog’s neck for signs of irritation. If there is a rash

or sore, discontinue use until the skin is completely healed. See a veterinarian if the condition persists.
