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 and vibrates. 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

®

 Stubborn Dog In-Ground Fence

 System has been proven safe, 

comfortable, and effective for pets over 8 pounds.

Key Definitions

Fence Transmitter:

 Transmits the radio signal through the Boundary Wire.

Pet Area:

 Area within the Warning Zone where your pet can roam freely.

Warning Zone:

 Outer edge of the Pet Area where your pet’s Receiver Collar begins to 

beep and vibrates for 2 seconds, warning him not to go into the Static Correction Zone.

Static Correction Zone:

 Zone beyond the Warning Zone where your pet’s Receiver 

Collar will emit a Static Correction, signaling him to return to the Pet Area.

Boundary Width:

 Combination of the Warning Zone and the Static Correction Zone.

Surge Protector:

 Installed with the Fence Transmitter to protect it from lightning 

strikes and power surges (USA and Canada only).

Receiver Collar:

 Receives the radio signal from the Boundary Wire.

Correction Level Button:

 Adjusts the level of Static Correction your pet receives in 

the Static Correction Zone.

Receiver Indicator Light:

 Indicates the level of correction at which the Receiver 

Collar is set. This light also serves as a low battery indicator.

Contact Points:

 Delivers the safe Static Correction when your pet moves into the 

Static Correction Zone.

Power Jack:

 Where the Power Adapter plugs into the Fence Transmitter.

Boundary Control Switch:

 Switch located on the 

Fence Transmitter to adjust according to the length of 

Boundary Wire used.

Boundary Wire Terminals:

 Where the Boundary Wires 

connect to the Fence Transmitter in order to complete a 

continuous loop.

Loop Indicator Light:

 Indicates that the Boundary Wire 

makes a complete loop, enabling the signal  

to be transmitted.

Boundary Width Control:

 Adjusts the width of the 

Warning and Static Correction Zones. 

Note: Adjusting 

the knob does not change the level of Static Correction 

on the Receiver Collar.
