Barrier System Works

The Barrier Transmitter, disguised as a rock in your landscape, sends a spherical radio signal up 

to 16 feet in diameter or an 8 foot radius. Your pet wears a Receiver Collar with Contact Points 

that touch his neck. When your pet enters the Barrier Area, he’ll hear a series of audible tones 

from the Receiver Collar and he will feel a safe progressive Static Correction, delivered through 

the Contact Points on his neck. It is designed to startle, not to punish. The progressive Static 

Correction will get your pet’s attention, but will not cause harm. The correction continues until 

your pet leaves the Barrier Area. The system has been proven safe, comfortable and effective 

for pets at least 6 months old and over 5 pounds.
You also have the option to create a custom shaped barrier using Boundary Wire. Create a 

barrier loop up to 150 feet.

This is a deterrence system designed to keep pets away from areas in your 

landscape you want to protect. THIS IS NOT A CONTAINMENT SYSTEM. 

Do not use this system to keep your pet contained in your yard. The static 

correction is not intended to keep your pet contained.
