Opsætning
1. Planlæg dit layout
Before installing, carefully plan the boundary layout for your yard. Consider areas you want your dog to access and areas to restrict. Avoid sharp corners in your wire layout to ensure optimal signal transmission.
For detailed planning guidance, refer to the official PetSafe planning tool: PetSafe Layout Planner.
2. Install the Transmitter
The transmitter should be installed in a dry, protected area, such as a garage or utility room. Ensure it is near a standard electrical outlet and away from large metal objects that could interfere with the signal.
- Mount the transmitter securely to a wall.
- Connect the boundary wire to the transmitter terminals.
- Plug the power adapter into the transmitter and then into an electrical outlet.
3. Bury the Boundary Wire
The boundary wire can be buried 1-3 inches deep or secured to the ground with staples. Ensure the wire forms a continuous loop back to the transmitter. Use wire connectors for any splices, ensuring they are waterproof.
- Dig a shallow trench along your planned boundary.
- Lay the wire carefully, avoiding kinks or damage.
- Cover the wire with soil.
- For expansion, connect additional wire using the provided splice kits.
The included wire is 20-gauge insulated wire, rated for direct burial, ensuring durability and longevity.
4. Placer grænseflag
Place the boundary flags along the wire at intervals of approximately 3 meters (10 feet). These flags serve as visual cues for your dog during the training phase.
5. Fit the Receiver Collar
Proper collar fit is essential for the system to function correctly and for your dog's comfort.
- Place the collar on your dog's neck with the receiver positioned under the chin.
- Ensure the contact points touch your dog's skin. You may need to trim long-haired dogs.
- The collar should be snug enough that you can only fit one finger between the strap and your dog's neck.

Betjening af systemet
Receiver Collar Functions
The receiver collar is designed with multiple levels of correction to suit your dog's temperament and training needs:
- Tone Only Mode: Provides an audible warning tone as your dog approaches the boundary.
- Vibrationstilstand: Offers a gentle vibration as a warning.
- Static Stimulation Levels: 4 adjustable levels of safe static stimulation, increasing in intensity. These levels are used after the warning tone/vibration if the dog continues towards the boundary.
Adjust the stimulation level according to your dog's response during training. Start with the lowest level and increase only if necessary.
Hundetræning
Effective training is crucial for the success of the in-ground fence system. Follow a structured training program, typically over 1-2 weeks, to teach your dog the boundaries.
- Begin with leash training, walking your dog along the boundary flags.
- Introduce the warning tone and praise your dog for retreating.
- Gradually introduce the static stimulation if the dog ignores the warning.
- Always end training sessions on a positive note.
