Page 6: Mvp System & Proper Dog Containment
How the Containment System Works The main feature of the DFP-MVP system is that it is an in-ground dog fence that has proven to be safe and effective for all dogs. There are (3) working components of your dog fence system: 1. - Page 7 The DFP-MVP system includes a variety of receiver collar contact tips. These are the parts that gently touch the underside of your dog's neck and are directly connected to the receiver collar.
- Page 8 The following Spring Contact Tips are included with the MVP system and are to be used with the MVP receiver collar: 1. Medium Spring Contact Tips (pre-installed on the MVP Receiver Collar) 2.

Receiver Collar Programming Chart Correction Levels (1-7) Correction Level Details Level: 1 (Default Level) Vibration only. This is the default level that is set from factory. Level: 2 Low static stimulation. Level: 3 Medium static stimulation. Level: 4 High static stimulation. Level: 5 Progressive programming. - Page 14 PRO TIP: Ensure proper neck skin contact with the receiver collar to avoid dog fence run- through issues. To achieve this, adjust the receiver collar snugly around your dog's neck. The preferred receiver collar fit is 1/8 of an inch of space between the neck of your dog and the receiver collar.

Page 16: Installing The Dfp-Mvp System
Installing the DFP-MVP System Please follow the steps below to ensure proper installation of your dog fence containment system. Boundary wire and boundary flags can be purchased separately by visiting the DOG FENCE PRO® online store by clicking here (clickable link). - Page 17 Below is a table showing the approximate lengths of wire (in lineal feet) needed for various acreages: Acres Sq. Feet Wire (ft) 10,890 14,520 21,780 32,670 43,560 87,120 1,200 130,680 1,500 174,240 1,700 217,800 1,900 261,360 2,100 304,920 2,250 348,480 2,400 392,040 2,550...
- Page 18 • If performing the installation is not for you, you can consult with any pet containment company to install your DFP-MVP system. By providing your own system, it can be done at a much lower cost, and is proven to be a money-saving method. We suggest...
- Page 19 4) Connect the Boundary Wire to the Surge Protector & Transmitter: A surge protector is included with your DFP-MVP system and is specially-designed for pet containment systems. We highly suggest installing the surge protector, as it will help protect your transmitter from electrical surges, keeping your containment system active. Installation only takes a few minutes.
- Page 20 NOTE: When your dog approaches the boundary wire, it will first receive a warning vibration, and then a static stimulation if the DFP-MVP system is challenged further by your dog. The programming levels can be set directly on the DFP-MVP receiver collar. Click...
- Page 21 6) Place the Boundary Flags: The boundary flags serve as visual reminders for your dog, indicating where the warning / correction zone is located on the property. Before starting, make sure the receiver collar is removed from your dog and ensure the receiver collar is powered on. Next, hold the receiver collar near the same height as your dog’s neck level and then slowly approach the warning zone.
- Page 22 PRO TIP: A 5-minute system check monthly is highly encouraged. This is the best time to be proactive with your pet containment system, not when your dog starts running through the fence.

Page 23: Examples Of Dog Fence Layouts
Examples of Dog Fence Layouts 3 of the main dog fence layouts include the following below: 1. Whole Perimeter 2. Two-Zone 3. Backyard-Only With a whole perimeter layout, your dog can roam freely around the entire property. This is typically the most popular layout option. - Page 24 Above is another example of a whole perimeter layout, but the sides of the home are “pinched off”. This creates two zones: a front and back zone. This gives you more control of how much freedom your dog receives. The only way for your dog to access either zone is through the home.
- Page 25 Backyard Only: This is another common layout, but probably the least used. The drawback to a backyard-only design is that it does not effectively contain your dog if he or she were to run out of a front door or garage. Also, there is usually just as much wire needed to be installed with this option (if not more) as with any other layout.

Exclusive MVP Gentle LiteTouch Training Program by DOG FENCE PRO® Training your dog(s) to live within the boundaries is a crucial part of ensuring the success of your new dog fence. Please read this training program thoroughly before training your dogs. - Page 27 PRO TIPS: • Implement the “Bad Cop” and “Good Cop” approach for successful dog fence training. Try role-reversals every other training session (if possible) so that your dog recognizes that the training is coming from both participants in this scenario. o One person plays the “Bad Cop”...

- Page 29 Days 4-6 OFF LEASH: Twice a day for 15 minutes. Begin with a boundary flag shake in a remote part of the yard. Then discreetly take the leash off your dog in a way that they do not notice. Then have fun with your dog and play fun games. Allow your dog to realize at some point that the leash has been removed.
- Page 30 FINALLY: After successfully completing your 9-day conditioning program for your dog, and you’ve reached your personal comfort level, you may begin letting your dog outside as many times a day in a supervised situation. However, you should incrementally increase your comfort level by, for example, going inside your house and monitoring your dog through a window while your dog is outside.
- Page 31 NOTES: • Static stimulation level adjustments are necessary to ensure your dog’s containment. However, those adjustments are a minimum. Your dog may show you the ability to cross the boundaries at those minimum adjustments. If so, please reference the Receiver Collar Programming Chart to increase to the preferred stimulation level.

Page 32: Optional Training For Triggers And Distractions
Optional Training for Triggers and Distractions Some dogs tend to benefit from an additional (optional) training method that helps with “triggers” or tempting distractions. Instructions below: 1. Place a tie-out or stake in the yard, about 15-20 feet away from the boundary wire in the area where the majority of the distractions or triggers occur. -

Charging NOTE: Do not charge batteries in areas that are too cold or too hot and keep away from fires. To charge your receiver collar: 1. Lift the rubber cover underneath the receiver collar. 2. Magnetically attach the magnetic charger end. 3. -

Page 38: Lifetime Deductible Warranty
Warning: Occasionally, an animal cannot be trained to avoid crossing the boundary. Therefore, DOG FENCE PRO® cannot guarantee that the system will, in all cases, keep your pet within the established boundary. Accordingly, if you have reason to believe your pet may pose a danger or harm to itself and others if it is not kept from crossing the boundary, you should not rely solely upon the system to contain your pet.
