The transmitter box plugs into a standard power outlet out of the weather, it is NOT waterproof. The boundary wire must make a complete loop with both ends connected to the transmitter. A radio signal travels along the wire and creates a field which becomes the 'Correction Zone'. The width of this can be altered by a dial on the transmitter. The signal is picked up by the dog’s receiver collar as he approaches the edge of this zone. He will hear a warning beep and then receive a static pulse if he does not retreat into his pet area as trained. This mild stimulation is harmless; you have probably felt a similar sensation occasionally from touching a car door or brushing against someone. Your dog should be over the age of 6 months and able to understand basic obedience commands. Training involves 3 sessions of 10 minutes a day for 7-10 days, depending on the nature of your dog. You will teach your dog to retreat on hearing the warning beep and test him using things that would normally tempt him to cross the boundary, until he can be safely left alone. You must contain your pet by another method (chain, pen) until training is completed. You should reinforce training on a regular basis. This system is not recommended for vicious or aggressive animals that may pose a threat to others. It is also recommended for healthy animals only, so please consult your vet if you have any concerns about your dog's health (pregnancy, heart condition, medication etc.) Is it easy to install?  The system is quick and easy to install, an average yard takes less than 4 hours. For an invisible fence,  use a spade or lawn edger to make a trench to bury the wire 1-3 inches deep. You can also attach the wire to existing structures, lay it on the ground in thick scrub, or use a combination of methods. To attach the wire to wooden fences it can be stapled, or if it is wire mesh it can be woven in and out or attached with ties (not provided). Driveways are crossed by cutting a shallow groove across the surface, then laying the wire in the groove and caulking over it. Or, you can lay the wire in the expansion joint and caulk over it. Wire can cross beneath gravel by laying it through electrical conduit. The boundary line is then be temporarily marked with the provided flags to remind your dog where the boundary is for training purposes. These are gradually removed over a few weeks towards the end of your training sessions. Sample loop layouts    Just a few ideas to get you started. Your transmitter is not waterproof and must be sited indoors near an electrical outlet. Install at least 1 metre from large metal objects or appliances as these may interfere with the consistency of the signal (metal doors, water heaters, washing machines.) Twisting two wires together will cancel the signal along that stretch of wire and allow your dog to cross safely.When making a double loop the wires must be separated by a minimum of 1 ½ m to avoid cancelling the signal. The width of the signal can be adjusted at the transmitter. Running the wire parallel to electrical cables, wires, antennas and satellite dishes will result in signal interference. If you must cross, do so at a 90 degree angle. Corners should be always be rounded for a consistent signal.  If your dog digs out keep the wire lower down the fence so the signal reaches beneath the ground. If your dog scrambles up the fence to escape, place the wire nearer the top. If he takes a running leap over the fence, bring the wire back to his take-off point and bury it underground.

Basic Loop with no fences The basic loop layout allows your dog access to your entire property but prevents access to selected areas.   Run the wire out to the boundary and around the property. Twist the wire around the one that went out on the way back into the transmitter so the dog can safely cross. Use this method to cordon off other areas you wish to protect. If you have a vulnerable area where you need a wider zone you can zig-zag the wire to make 3 rows on that section and then continue around the boundary.

Front Loop with existing fences  This layout supplements an existing fence to protect the entire property.  Run the wire out to the boundary and across the front and back forming a double loop. Twist the wire around the one that went out on the way back into the transmitter. Loop is at least 2 m wide in all locations.  Double loops also give more security on areas your dog is likely to try to escape through because they must cross a wider correction field.
