If the Collar Receiver does not beep at the desired range, adjust the Range Adjuster knob to the desired setting. Turning the 

Range Adjuster knob clockwise increases the Boundary Width while turning it counterclockwise decreases it. Repeat this 

activity as needed until the Collar Receiver beeps at the desired distance from the Boundary Wire.
The numbers on the Range Adjuster knob indicate signal strength and are not representative of Boundary Width footage. If 

adjusting the Range Adjuster knob does not give the desired range, adjust the Range Switch to the other setting to achieve 

your desired range. If using a Double Loop, you may need to increase the separation of the Boundary Wire to achieve the 

desired range.
The Collar Receiver beeps as a warning tone and ticks when delivering a Stimulation. After hearing the beep, continue to walk 

towards the wire. The Collar Receiver should tick and the Test Light should flash, indicating the Stimulation as you enter the 

Stimulation Zone (

6E

). A warning beep and the flashing of the Test Light indicate that the Collar Receiver and the system are 

working properly and that you are ready to start burying the Boundary Wire. If the Collar Receiver did not beep or the Test 

Light did not flash, refer to the “Troubleshooting” section on page 22. 

NOTE: The Boundary Width is broken down into 20% Warning Zone and 80% Stimulation Zone.

INSTALL THE BOUNDARy WIRE

• Underground cables can carry high voltage. Have all underground cables marked before you dig to bury your wire. In most    

   areas, this is a free service. Avoid these cables when you dig. 

• Before you begin installing the Boundary Wire, turn the Fence Transmitter OFF.

TO BURy THE BOUNDARy WIRE

Burying the Boundary Wire is recommended to protect it and prevent disabling the system.
1.  Cut a trench 1-3 inches deep along your planned boundary.

2.  Place the Boundary Wire into the trench maintaining some slack to allow it to expand and contract with temperature 

variations.

3.  Use a blunt tool such as a wooden paint stick to push the Boundary Wire into the trench, being careful not to damage the 

Boundary Wire.

TO ATTACH THE BOUNDARy WIRE TO AN ExISTING fENCE

The Boundary Wire of the SportDOG Brand

®

 In-Ground Fence System can be attached to a chain link fence, split rail fence, or 

a wooden privacy fence. The Boundary Wire can be attached as high as needed. However, make sure the Boundary Width is 

set at a high enough range for the dog to receive the signal. If using a Double Loop with an existing fence at least three feet 

tall, run the Boundary Wire on top of the fence and return it on the bottom of the fence to get the three to five foot separation 

needed.

• Chain Link Fence (

7A

): Weave Boundary Wire through the links or use plastic quick ties. 

• Wooden Split Rail or Privacy Fence (

7A

): Use staples to attach Boundary Wire. Avoid puncturing the insulation of the 

Boundary Wire. 

• Double Loop with an Existing Fence: Run Boundary Wire on top of the fence and return it on the bottom of the fence to get 

the three to five foot separation needed.

• Gate (Single Loop) (

7B

): Bury the Boundary Wire in the ground across the gate opening. Note: The signal is still active across 

the gate. Your dog cannot pass through an open gate.

• Gate (Double Loop) (

7B

): Bury both Boundary Wires across the gate opening while keeping them three to five feet apart.

 

                             

Follow all safety instructions for your power tools. Be sure to always wear your safety goggles.

TO CROSS HARD SURfACES (DRIVEWAyS, SIDEWALKS, ETC.)

• Concrete Driveway or Sidewalk (

7C

): 

Place the Boundary Wire in a convenient 

expansion joint or create a groove using 

a circular saw and masonry blade. Place 

the Boundary Wire in the groove and cover 

with an appropriate patching compound. 

For best results, brush away dirt or other 

debris before patching.

• Gravel or Dirt Driveway (

7D

): Place the 

Boundary Wire in a PVC pipe or water 

hose to protect the Boundary Wire before 

burying.
