The In-Ground Fence™ System is a simple and cost-effective alternative to a traditional fence. 305 metres of wire, 100 flags and 1 Collar Receiver are included to keep your dog contained in a garden up to 5,400 square metres (54 acres).

The transmitter is powerful enough to cover up to 40,000 square metres (4,047 acres) of land, and you can add an unlimited number of dogs with the purchase of additional Add-A-Dog® Collar (SDF-CR-22).  Sold separately.

Installation is as simple as burying the wire around the perimeter of your garden and plugging in the transmitter.

The Collar Receiver offers 4 levels of static stimulation to match any dogs' temperament, as well as a vibration/tone option.

How does it work?

Fence Transmitter: Sends a radio signal through the boundary wire installed around the containment area.

Collar: As your dog gets close to the wire, the collar picks up the signal and lets out a warning beep and vibration.

Range Adjustment: Control how close your dog can get to the wire by adjusting the fence transmitter's range knob.

Flags: Positioned where your dog gets the warning, flags are optional but suggested for training; they offer a visual signal for your dog.

Static Correction: If your dog keeps going near the wire, the collar gives a static correction to discourage them.

Correction Levels: Choose from 7 levels of correction intensity based on your dog's temperament. Start with the lowest effective level.

Anti-Linger: Stops the collar battery from going flat by giving a static correction if your dog hangs around in the warning area for too long.

More Information

Expandable Coverage

This kit includes 2 rolls of 150-metre wire and 2 splice kits, covering up to 0.5 hectares based on your layout. For larger areas, additional wire and splice kits are required.

Adjustable Correction Levels

The collar gives a beep and a buzz to warn your dog as it gets close to the boundary, no matter the setting. It's already on level 1 when you get it, which is just the beep and buzz. You've got 7 levels of static to pick from, with level 2 being the softest and level 8 the strongest. Check the user guide for how to tweak it.

Multiple Dog Capability

You can add unlimited dogs to the system with additional collars.

Dog Size

Suitable for dogs weighing 4.5 kg or more with neck sizes from 13 cm to 56 cm.

Batteries

Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries charge in 2 hours, with a low battery indicator. Expect 1-2 months of use per charge, depending on boundary testing frequency.

Installation Info

Installing Your In-Ground Fence™ System: A Quick Guide

1. Plan and Test Layout
   1. Decide your boundary layout.
   2. Lay the wire on the ground and walk around the boundary with the collar at your dog’s height to check if it vibrates as expected.
2. Bury the Wire
   1. Dig a shallow trench and bury the cable a few inches deep to protect it.
3. Place Warning Flags
   1. Walk up to the buried wire with the collar at your dog’s height and place flags where the collar vibrates. Space flags every 3-5 metres.
4. Set Correction Levels
   1. Start with the lowest static stimulation level on the collar and gradually increase until you find the lowest effective level.
5. Train Your Dog
   1. Use the provided manual for short training sessions over the next 2 weeks. Remove flags once your dog understands the boundary.

Potential Additional Tools Needed

• Extra wire and flags (for areas larger than 0.5 hectares/1 ⅓ acres)
• Spade or lawn edger*
• Drill, measuring tape
• Pliers, wire stripping pliers, scissors
• Gel-filled capsules, wire connectors, earth rod and clamp
• PVC pipe or water hose (for hard-to-bury areas)
• Circular saw with masonry blade (for hard surfaces)
• Patching compound, staple gun
• Non-metallic collar and lead

*For larger areas, consider hiring a trencher to help with burying the wire.

Important Tips

• Continuous Loop: The boundary wire must start and end at the Fence Transmitter.
• Gradual Turns: Use gentle curves at corners to avoid gaps in the boundary.
• Boundary Width: Set warning and stimulation zones to approximately 5-7 metres (about 2.5-3.5 metres on each side of the wire) using the range adjuster knob.
• Collar Activation: If the wire runs along an outside wall of your house, the collar might activate inside. Remove the collar, adjust the range, or change the layout as needed.
