If you are unsure if your dog is aggressive, please consult your veterinarian or a certifi ed trainer. • The PetSafe In-Ground Radio Fence™ is for residential use only. • The Static Correction will get your pet’s attention, but will not cause harm. It is designed to startle, not to punish.
To Locate a Break in the Boundary Wire Please follow these steps in determining where you have a break in your Boundary Wire: 1. Locate your original splice(s) and verify they have a good, solid connection. 2. Check your yard to determine any possible damage to the Boundary Wire (e.g. recent digging, aerating, rodent burrowing, or any other noticeable disturbance in your yard next to the Boundary Wire).
Caution The PetSafe In-Ground Radio Fence™ is NOT a solid barrier. The system is designed to act as a deterrent to remind pets by electric stimulation to remain in the boundary established. It is important that you reinforce training with your pet on a regular basis.
