Step 1: Planning and Preparation

Before you begin, it’s important to plan out where you want the boundaries of the fence to be. Gather all the necessary tools and equipment, including the fence transmitter, boundary wire, and training flags.

Step 2: Installing the Transmitter

Find a suitable location in your home to install the transmitter. Ensure it is placed near an electrical outlet and away from any potential interference. Connect the transmitter to power and test to make sure it’s functioning correctly.

Step 3: Laying the Boundary Wire

Decide on the boundaries of your pet’s play area and start burying the boundary wire around your yard. Make sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions on how deep to bury the wire to prevent any damage.

Step 4: Testing and Adjusting

After installing the wire, it’s crucial to test the system to ensure it’s working correctly. Place the receiver collar on your pet and walk them around the boundaries while keeping an eye on their reaction. Adjust the settings on the transmitter if needed.

Step 5: Training Your Pet

Properly train your pet to understand the boundaries of the fence using the included training flags. With consistency and patience, your pet will learn where they can and cannot go within their safe zone.

Step 6: Monitoring and Maintenance

Regularly check the system to ensure it’s functioning correctly. Replace the batteries in the receiver collar as needed and conduct training sessions to reinforce your pet’s understanding of the boundaries.
