2. If your dog has been on a hidden fence system before then you do not have to follow the beep
training phase. For all other dogs you should follow the beep only training phase in your
DogWatch handbook. Your owners guide will show you how to set the collar to “audible only”. –
(see also Troubleshooting 3. below).
3. You can move through the phases at a quicker rate provided your dog is responding and
understanding each phase. If you are unsure at any point please contact us.

ADJUSTING THE COLLAR
1. Collar tightness is critical both contact points must touch your dogs skin. If not he will not receive
electrical stimulation. A loose collar will also allow the contact posts to rub back and forth on the
skin possibly causing irritation. If your dog has long hair install the longer contact posts on the
collar using the collar wrench supplied
use care as over tightening could cause damage to
your receiver.
2. The receiver collar should be removed each day to allow your dogs skin to gradually condition
itself to the contact posts. Failure to follow procedure could lead to skin irritations and possible
infections.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
1. Everything is installed – I have a green loop light and a red power light but the collars do not
work?
Response :- Have you adjusted the range? – see page above “setting the range”. Turn your range
button towards the + (located on the right hand side of your transmitter), this will bring the signal field out
and your collar will pick up the signal & work correctly.
2. I have no green light and the transmitter is making a strange noise.
Response - you have a break in the boundary cable or you have a bad connection. Check all wire
connectors to ensure that you have tightened them fully.
3. How Do I adjust my dog’s training level?
Response – using the black tester adjuster (star shape). Place the metal end of the adjuster between the
two raised lines. These are located on the side of the dog’s receiver box. The collar will beep to indicate
the level – Long beep indicates no shock, beep/audible only and then one beep for level 1, 2 beeps for
level two etc. When you reach the required level remove the adjuster. If you miss your level continue as
the levels go round in a cycle.
Important Additional Info:-
In the first few weeks of using your DogWatch hidden fence system it is important that the dog builds up
to wearing the collar for prolonged periods (similar to breaking in a new pair of shoes). In the first few
weeks the pet should only wear the collar for 2 – 3 hours in one session and then should have a break of
at least 1 – 2 hours. Over the a period 2 - 3 weeks the pet can build up to wearing the collar for longer
periods but the collar should always be removed at night or for dogs living outside the collar must be
removed for at least 8 hours in any 24 hour period. It should be possible to place a finger between the
contact posts and the pet’s neck, the collar must fit snugly but not tightly. It is important to check your
collar fit on a regular basis as your dog may gain or loose weight and the collar will stretch in the first 4 –
6 weeks.
