Dear Canine Company Client,
Congratulations! The Top Dog Invisible Fence
®
Brand Kit you have purchased is from the
finest brand in traditional electronic pet containment system available today. It will
provide your pet years of reliable protection.
We have included instructions to help you install your system and train your pet. Please
review each of them carefully before you begin.
How the Invisible Fence
®
Brand System Works
Night and day, whenever your pet is outside, your Invisible Fence
®
Brand system is there to
remind them of their boundaries and to correct them if they stray. The consistency of the
training protocol is a key component what makes Invisible Fence
®
Brand systems so
effective in protecting pets.
Your Invisible Fence
®
Brand system defines your pet's boundaries by creating an
"Invisible
®
barrier" of radio signal transmitted through an antenna wire that you bury into
the ground. This signal is sent from your Invisible Fence
®
Brand transmitter located in your
garage or basement.
Your pet wears a Computer Collar
®
unit which is programmed to give them an audible
warning every time they get within about eight feet of the boundary wire. If your pet fails
to heed this warning, they will receive a mild correction. Through proper training, your pet
will quickly learn the safe areas where they are free to run and play.
Before You Begin
Call for a utility mark-out
It is the law. You must call your state's underground utility mark-out agency and schedule
to have them identify the location of all underground utilities on your property.
Identify the location of sprinklers and other underground hazards
Utility mark-out agencies will not identify the location of wires, cables or pipes that have
been installed by a homeowner. If you have an underground sprinkler system, remote
lighting or other devices not installed by a utility company you must clearly identify where
they are located and design your system to avoid them.
Beware of ticks, bees and poison ivy
One of the hazards associated with installing your Invisible Fence
®
Brand system is
exposure to these pests. Wear long pants and a long sleeved shirt. Remember that during
the dry summer months bees often build underground hives. Also, keep in mind that poison
ivy vines are just as unpleasant during the winter even though they have dropped their
leaves.
