Sample 6 (

2J

):  

Wire Loop Attached to Existing Fence (Double Loop) 

 

This  layout  allows  you  to  include  your  existing  fence  as  part  of 
your layout and keep your dog from jumping out or digging under 
your existing fence.  It reduces the amount of wire which will need 
to be buried.  Run the wire from the Fence Transmitter to 

A, A

 to 

B,  B

  to 

C, C

  to 

D, D

  to 

E,E

  to 

F

,  make  a  U-turn  and follow  your 

path  all  the  way  back  to 

A

,  keeping  the  wire  separated 

1  to  1.5 

metres

.    Twist  the  wire  from 

A

  back  to  the  Fence  Transmitter.  

See  the  “Install  the  Boundary Wire”  section  for  more  information 
on attaching the wire to a fence.    

 

 
Position the Boundary Wire 

 
Step 3 
 
Lay out the Boundary Wire using your proposed boundary and test the system BEFORE burying 
the wire or attaching it to an existing fence.  This will make any layout changes easier. 
 
Running  the  Boundary  Wire  parallel  to  and  within  1.5  metres  of  electrical  wires,  neighbouring 
containment systems, telephone wires, television or antenna cables, or satellite dishes will cause 
an inconsistent signal.  If you must cross any of these, do so at 90° angles (perpendicularly). 
 

TO Twist the Boundary Wire (3A) 
 

Twisting the Boundary Wire cancels the signal and allows your dog to cross over that area safely.  
Plastic or metal piping will not cancel the signal.  Twist the Boundary Wire 8 to 10 times per foot to 
cancel the signal. 
 

TO Splice or Repair the Boundary Wire (3B) 
 

If  you  need  additional  Boundary  wire  to  expand  your  wire  loop,  you  will  need  to  splice  the  wires 
together.  Note the locations of all splices for future reference.  Most Boundary Wire breaks occur 
at splices. 
 
Strip  approximately  one-half  inch  of  insulation  off  the  ends  of  the  Boundary  wires  to  be  spliced.  
Make  sure  the  copper  Boundary  Wire  is  not  corroded.    If  the  Boundary  Wire  is  corroded,  cut  it 
back to expose clean copper wire. Insert the stripped ends into the wire nut and twist the wire nut 
around  the  wires.    Pull  on  the  wires  to  make  sure  you  have  a  strong  splice  connection.    Apply 
waterproofing compound (e.g. silicone caulk) in and around the wire nut or wrap the wires and the 
wire  nuts  with  electrical  tape  to  prevent  moisture  from  corroding  the  copper.    If  your  splice  pulls 
loose, the entire system will fail.  Make sure your splice is secure.      

 

 
If MGG waterproof connectors are used please follow the instructions included with them.
