PetSafe In-Ground Fence System

Give your dog freedom to roam your backyard without roaming off. This in-ground dog fence system is one of the most affordable, convenient ways to keep your dog safe and secure in his own yard. System features a lightweight receiver collar with 4 adjustable levels of correction plus tone-only mode. This system also has run through prevention, which means your dog cannot escape your established "pet area" without receiving an increased level of static correction. This system, unlike the previous PetSafe in-ground fence, also has anti-linger prevention, which keeps your dog from staying in the warning zone for long periods of time and draining the receiver collar battery. A low battery indicator ensures your peace of mind. Included 500 ft of wire and 50 training flags allow a pet boundary area of about 1/3 acre. Additional Wire and Flags, sold separately, let you expand the system to cover up to 10 acres. For pets over 8 lbs. Replacement battery sold separately (item 9543).

System includes: Transmitter with Power Adaptor, Deluxe UltraLight Receiver with adjustable collar strap from 6-28 inches, Operating and Training Guide, Petsafe 6V Battery, 500 feet of wire and 50 Training flags, Test Light Tool.

Extra Little Dog Collar - 2 oz collar adjusts from 6" - 16". For dogs up to 55 lbs. NEW Rechargeable Collar can be used as a replacement collar for the in-ground fence or for adding a second dog to your current system. Includes rechargeable batteries and charger. Fits necks 6"-28" and dogs over 5 lbs.

For your large breed or hard-to-train dog, try the PetSafe Stubborn Dog Collar to use with this system.

How much wire do I need?
PetSafe Containment Systems come standard with 500 feet of boundary wire. For larger yards, we recommend purchasing additional wire kits, which include everything you need to expand the coverage. Kit includes 500 feet of 20-gauge wire and 50 marker flags.

Installation

If trenching into concrete, you will need cutting tools and repair materials.

Basic Installation Steps
The basic installation Steps are outlined below. Detailed instructions for installing and configuring your containment system are provided in the owner's manual.

• Mount the transmitter on an internal or enclosed wall.
• Twist the wire together for areas where you want the dog to be able to cross. (For example, from the transmitter out to the boundary.) Twisting the wire cancels the signal, allowing the dog to cross the area without receiving a correction.
• Place the boundary wire in a continuous loop around the perimeter of the boundary area.
• Connect the twisted wire to the transmitter.
• Connect the loop to the twisted wire running to the transmitter.
• Test the system to make sure it works properly.
• Bury the wire.
• Adjust the signal field on the transmitter.
• Place the warning flags at the perimeter of the signal field.

Training Tips
IMPORTANT! Thorough training is required to successfully use this product. Spend the amount of time required to totally familiarize your dog with the fence system.
Make sure you carefully review the training guide provided as part of your containment system.
There are four basic steps involved in training your dog for a wireless fence. Each step should take approximately 3-5 days. Plan to work with your dog for 10-15 minutes, 3 times a day. Consistency and repetition is critical for success.

• Teach your dog to be aware of and avoid the flags.
• Train your dog to associate the correction (electrical stimulation) with getting too close to the flags.
• Use temptations to convince your dog (on-leash) that the fence always matters.
• Use more temptations to convince your dog (off-leash) that the fence always matters.

Operating Tips

• Twelve hours is the maximum number of hours per day that your dog should wear the collar.
• Your dog needs to be supervised when he is in the fenced yard. Underground fencing is helpful in containing your pet, but it cannot prevent the entry of other animals or people into the safe area.
• Collar receiver prongs can be positioned at different locations on your dog's neck to prevent irritation to the same spot.
• Not intended for use on dogs under 6 months of age or under 8 lbs.
• Remove metal collars or collars with metal tags when the PetSafe receiver collar is being worn. It is important, however, that dogs wear identification when outside so we recommend the use of plastic tags.
• If you work your dog on a leash, attach it to a collar other than the PetSafe collar.

Warranty Information
Return of your PetSafe Underground Wire Fence to Drs. Foster & Smith for exchange or refund is limited to 60 days from the date of purchase. Beyond 60 days, this product is covered by the manufacturer's warranty and should be returned to PetSafe.
