Field Width Adjustment Knob 

 

This knob controls the width of the signal field (the distance from the boundary wire to the 
location where the collar/receiver first activates). Turning the knob clockwise increases the 
field width, giving your dog wider buffer area before the activation. Turning it 
counterclockwise decreases the distance between the dog and fence before activation.   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 

Intensity Selection Dial 

 

The Intensity Selection Dial controls the stimulation level. Level 1 is the lowest setting and 
level 5 is the highest. It is always best to start at level 1 and increase the levels until you 
find a level where the dog reacts to the stimulation but does not overreact with excessive 
vocalization.
