Problem 2: Break Outs
If your dog has run through the fence more than twice, his desire to get out is greater than
his concern for the correction of the fence. To solve this break out problem you can
either turn off the transmitter or take off his Dog Guard receiver collar. This will allow
the dog to come back through the perimeter without getting shocked. Put the collar back
on the dog once he’s inside his boundary.
If your dog acts like he doesn’t feel the correction it is for one of two reasons. Either his
collar is too loose, or there is too much hair between the probes and his skin. In both
cases he will not feel any correction. To remedy this, try adjusting the collar. If that
doesn’t work, try trimming the hair directly beneath the probes.
If you have a dog that runs through the fence more than three times, call your dealer
immediately. Adjustments may have to be made in either the receiver or the field. Please
call your dealer before attempting to make any changes to your transmitter settings.
Proper Receiver Placement
To ensure a consistent signal, the dog’s collar must be secured as illustrated above. To
do this, make sure the probes are closest to the dog’s chest so that the receiver hangs
down at a slight angle.
* It is important to periodically check the size and fit of your pet’s nylon collar.
As
he grows, the collar’s size will have to be adjusted to provide a secure, comfortable fit.
