How the Pawz Away™ Outdoor Pet Barrier
System W orks
The Barrier Transmitter, disguised as a rock in your landscape, sends a spherical radio signal up to
16 feet in diameter or an 8 foot radius. Your pet wears a Receiver Collar with Contact Points that
touch his neck. When your pet enters the Barrier Area, he’ll hear a series of audible tones from the
Receiver Collar and he will feel a safe progressive Static Correction, delivered through the Contact
Points on his neck. It is designed to startle, not to punish. The progressive Static Correction will
get your pet’s attention, but will not cause harm. The correction continues until your pet leaves
the Barrier Area. The system has been proven safe, comfortable and effective for pets at least 6
months old and over 5 pounds.
You also have the option to create a custom shaped barrier using Boundary Wire. Create a barrier
loop up to 150 feet.
Warning: This is a deterrence system designed to keep pets away from areas in your
landscape you want to protect. THIS IS NOT A CONTAINMENT SYSTEM. Do not use
this system to keep your pet contained in your yard. The static correction is not intended
to keep your pet contained.
Key Definitions
Barrier Transmitter: Transmits the wireless radio signal.
Barrier Area: Area that you want to prevent your pet from gaining access to.
