Troubleshooting Tips 
 

If you experience problems with your Dog Guard equipment, there are several 

things you can check to determine the nature of the problem.  If, after reviewing 

the following areas, you still can not determine the problem, please contact your 

Dog Guard dealer. 

 

Check Your Lights! 

• 

If the 

GREEN

 light is off, your unit does not have power.  This problem can 

easily be fixed by making sure your AC adaptor is plugged into the wall outlet 

and the on/off switch is in the 

ON 

position. 

 

• 

If the unit receives a 

lightning strike

, the 

YELLOW

 light will come on 

sometimes, simultaneously with an 

audible alarm 

depending on the extent of 

damage to the unit.  At this time, please contact your Dog Guard dealer. 

 

• 

If the 

RED

 light is not on, and the alarm is going off, there is a 

break in the 

wire loop

.  To locate and repair wire breaks, follow the procedures below: 

 

Verifying a wire break 

Step 1 

Loosen the two center screws where the twisted pair connects to the 

transmitter.  Insert one leg of a choke coil (10uH, RF, 1.5 amps; can 

be purchased at Radio Shack, part #273-102B) under each screw and 

tighten.  If the RED light reappears, proceed to step 2.   

 

If the RED light does NOT reappear, please contact your Dog Guard 

dealer.
