How the System Works
A radio signal travels from the Fence Transmitter through a buried wire, marking the boundaries you wish to set for your
dog. Your dog wears a Receiver Collar that detects the signal at the boundary. As your dog approaches the boundary, the
receiver issues a warning tone. If he proceeds further, he receives a safe but startling Static Correction. While harmless, the
correction will persuade him to stay in the containment area you’ve established. Boundary flags are a temporary visual aid
for your pet; remove them after training. This PetSafe
®
In-Ground Fence
™
system has been proven safe, comfortable, and
effective for pets over 8 pounds.
