The Petsafe wireless fence is now one of the most effective ways of training your dog to remain within a certain area. The system can also be used to make sure that your dog will not get lost or meet an accident because he left your yard. Because of the system, you will never have to hear any complaints from your neighbors again. They may even ask how you got to train your dog to stay close by. Best of all, the system does not require you to break your back during the installation.
If you have just acquired the Petsafe wireless system or planning to get one, read the instructions below to help you set it up:
Check the contents. Before anything else, you should be able to check the contents of the box. From the see through package you should be able to see the gray transmitter and the black receiver attached to a red collar. Aside from these two, you will also get 50 boundary flags, two long contact points, a test light, power adapter, battery for the receiver, a manual, and warranty card. It is important to note that you get two long contact points in order for your receiver to fit perfectly into any size neck for a comfortable fit.
Set the transmitter. First, you hook up the transmitter typically two to three feet from the floor. As much as possible, place the transmitter away from metal objects such as your refrigerator or washing machine since the signal will be interrupted. Suggested locations would be the attic or inside a bedroom close to a window. There are only three switches on the transmitter: boundary switch, boundary control, and the power button. In order to ensure that your pet can play in the largest area possible, set the boundary switch to high and the boundary control to 8. This would provide an ideal playable area of 40 feet on low and 80 feet on high. However, it is important to adjust these levels to ensure that the boundary zone won’t enter other people’s property.
Prepare the receiver. To test the length of the play area and to visualize the boundary zone, you will need the receiver and the flags. It will also be an opportunity to adjust the static correction level that will be delivered to your pet. Once you have inserted the battery, you can already turn static correction knob. The more flashes in the indicator light, the higher the correction level is.
Once you are done, you can then bring your receiver while you walk outward from the position of the transmitter. Use a stick and hang the receiver on one end. Then raise the stick until the receiver is at the same height of your dog. This is important in order to accurately detect if you are nearing the boundary zone. You’ll know you’re in the zone because the receiver will play a beeping sound. When you do, place a boundary flag to that spot to warn your dog visually. Just repeat the process until you have all flags set, and you can start your training.
