Not for use with aggressive dogs. Do not use

injury or death to their owners and others. If
you are not sure that this product is right for
your dog, please talk to your veterinarian or a

• This PetSafe® Wireless Pet Containment
System® is NOT a solid barrier. The system is
designed to act as a deterrent to remind pets
by Static Correction to remain in the boundary
established. It is important that you reinforce
training with your pet on a regular basis. Since
the tolerance level to Static Correction varies
from pet to pet, Radio Systems® Corporation
CANNOT guarantee that the system will, in
all cases, keep a pet within the established
boundary. Not all pets can be trained to avoid
crossing the boundary! Therefore, if you have
reason to believe that your pet may pose a
danger to others or harm himself if he is not

kept from crossing the boundaries, you should
NOT rely solely upon the PetSafe® Wireless
Pet Containment System® to confine your pet.
Radio Systems® Corporation shall NOT be
liable for any property damage, economic loss
or any consequential damages, sustained as a
result of any animal crossing the boundary.
• Proper fit of the collar is important. A collar
worn for too long or made too tight on the
pet’s neck may cause skin damage. Ranging
from redness to pressure ulcers; this condition
is commonly known as bed sores.
- Avoid leaving the collar on the dog for more
than 12 hours per day.
- When possible reposition the collar on the
pet’s neck every 1 to 2 hours.
- Check the fit to prevent excessive pressure;
follow the instructions in this manual.

- Never connect a lead to the electronic
collar; it will cause excessive pressure on
the contacts.
- When using a separate collar for a lead,
don’t put pressure on the electronic collar.
- Wash the dog’s neck area and the contacts
of the collar weekly with a damp cloth.
- Examine the contact area daily for signs of
a rash or a sore.
- If a rash or sore is found, discontinue use of
the collar until the skin has healed.
- If the condition persists beyond 48 hours,
see your veterinarian.
- For additional information on bed sores and
pressure necrosis, please visit our website.

These steps will help keep your pet safe and
comfortable. Millions of pets are comfortable
while they wear stainless steel contacts. Some
pets are sensitive to contact pressure. You may
find after some time that your pet is very tolerant
of the collar. If so, you may relax some of these
precautions. It is important to continue daily
checks of the area. If redness or sores are found,
discontinue use until the skin has fully healed.
• You may need to trim the hair in the area of
the Contact Points. Never shave the dog’s
neck; this may lead to a rash or infection.
• Always remove your dog’s Receiver Collar
before performing any Transmitter testing.
• If you use a collar and leash for training, be
sure the extra collar does not put pressure on
the contact points.
• Never remove power from the system when
the collar is on the pet. This may activate the
Receiver Collar.

How the System Works
The PetSafe® Wireless Pet Containment System® has been proven
safe, comfortable, and effective for pets over 8 pounds. The system
works by transmitting a radio signal up to 90 feet in all directions.
You temporarily define the Pet Area with Boundary Flags for a
visual aid in training your pet. Your pet wears a Receiver Collar with
Contact Points that touch his neck, and, once trained, is allowed to
roam freely in the Pet Area. When your pet reaches the Boundary
Zone, the Receiver Collar gives a warning beep before delivering
a safe Static Correction through the Contact Points to get his
attention until he returns to the Pet Area.
