How do the Dog Fence Systems Work?

How The Electric Underground Dog Fence Systems Work:

The Transmitter plugs into a standard outlet and emits a radio signal that travels along an underground wire. You can adjust the signal to up to 15 feet from the wire. In most cases, a 4-6 foot signal field will be the best for optimal training. The receiver worn on your pet's collar picks up the radio signal and alerts him as he nears the underground dog fence boundary that you have customized for your yard. When he approaches the boundary, he receives a warning beep. If your dog does not return, he receives a static correction which is startling but not harmful. Our maintenance free design and ease of installation offers tremendous savings compared to conventional fencing and other systems of this type.

The Dog Fence makes it easy to train your pet. By spending just 15 minutes a day working with your pet, he can be fully trained in a few days. You can train as many dogs as you want on the same system, as long as they are each wearing a receiver collar. Additional receivers are available if your have more than one dog.

The Dog Fence offers the flexibility you need to solve your installation needs. Bury the boundary wire underground approximately 1-2 inches deep. Using your own design, you can protect your flower and seedbeds, shrubs, trees and even swimming pools. Here are some sample layouts.

How The Electric Underground Dog Fence Plus Remote Systems Work(Contain N' Train):

A radio signal is sent by the transmitter to a receiver on your dog's collar. The signal is transmitted through a wire which is placed along the boundaries you want to establish. The wire is really an antenna that carries the signal. You can adjust the signal to up to 15 feet from the wire. In most cases, a 4-6 foot signal field will be the best for optimal training. The receiver provides a warning beep as your dog approaches the wire. If he starts to cross the wire, he will receive a mild correction. Although the correction is harmless, it will dissuade him from continuing.

When using the remote, the fence transmitter floods the area inside the boundary wire with the signal and this activates the receiver. All receivers within the boundary will activate when the remote is used. If you have more than one dog, you may want to remove the receiver from the other dog(s) so they do not get a correction. With two levels of correction for the remote training mode, this pet training system is effective on any dog. The remote training function will work on systems up to 1200 ft. in length (approx. 2 acres). The remote training function has a negative tone without correction and a negative tone with correction. After a few corrections, your dog will associate the tone with the correction. This makes the remote trainer one of the most humane trainers available since before long, all you will need to correct your dog is the negative tone.

How The Instant Wireless Dog Fence System Works

The Instant Wireless Dog Fence is a revolutionary concept that provides the safest, simplest form of pet containment ever. Plug in the transmitter somewhere inconspicuously in your home. The transmitter emits a 17.5kHz radio signal around your home. Your dog wears a lightweight receiver collar which "listens" for the signal. While the collar is receiving the signal, your dog is free to run and play in your yard. When he approaches the boundary of the signal area, he receives a warning beep. If your dog does not return, he receives a static correction which is startling but not harmful. With a little simple training, your dog will quickly learn his boundaries.

Setting up your Wireless Dog Fence takes just a few minutes. The transmitter plugs into any standard 110 volt outlet. Since the signal will transmit reliably through walls and other obstructions, it can be placed in any convenient and discreet location, typically in the garage or a closet. Once you have set up the Wireless Dog Fence, you can now adjust the range that is appropriate for your dog and your yard.

Wireless Dog Fence Layout

Training your dog is quick and easy, just follow the dog training instructions included with your Wireless Dog Fence. Once you have adjusted the signal to the perimeter you want, mark the boundary by placing the training flags at the edge of the signal. Every Instant Fence comes with the transmitter, one receiver, 50 boundary flags for training your pet and a manual that explains installation and training. You can contain an unlimited number of pets with the Wireless Dog Fence system by purchasing additional receivers.

Due to the size of the receiver for this system, we recommend your dog weigh at least 10 pounds. If your dog is smaller than this, one of our underground dog fences would be a better choice. Additionally, this system is designed for average-to-train dogs. If your dog is stubborn or hard-to-train, we recommend the Stubborn Dog Fence.

The signal field can be adjusted anywhere from a 30 to 180 foot diameter from the transmitter. The shape of the signal is in a perfect circle and the shape cannot be changed. The range of the Wireless Dog Fence can be increased by using two or more transmitters. This creates multiple intersecting circles, two transmitters would create a boundary in a shape similar to the MasterCard™ logo. The signal is cancelled where the circles intersect, allowing the pet access to the entire area. The transmitters can be located a maximum of 150 feet apart and each transmitter must be out of the weather, they cannot get wet. An additional transmitter would create a boundary that is up to 180 feet wide and up to 330 feet long.
