How it works
Think of this whole setup as similar to your local radio station and your car radio. There are the 3 main components to any underground fence.
Dog Guard® Out-of-Sight Fencing is a safe, affordable alternative to traditional pet fences, and uses a veterinarian-approved combination of animal training and state-of-the art electronics to safely train your pet where it can and cannot go.
How a Dog Guard® Out-of-Sight Fencing System Works
After your signal wire is buried to define the area(s) of containment (indicated in white to the right), boundary flags are setup within the perimeter of the signal wire. During the early days of training, you walk your leashed dog around the inside perimeter of your pet containment area, and verbal commands are used to train your pet to avoid the boundary flags. After your system is activated, when your pet enters the reminder zone (in yellow) 3 to 6 feet from the signal wire, they receive your choice of an audio signal or a mild correction stimulus, warning that they are approaching the boundary. If they enter the red correction zone, they receive a stronger correction.
1.) The Transmitter:
The Transmitter acts as the radio station and sends (or transmits) the radio frequency out around the buried wire. This is also what controls the distances around the wire (the signal field).
2.) The Wire:
The buried wire acts like the antenna for the radio station and sends out a particular frequency at an equal distance around the wire.
3.) The Receiver Collar:
The Receiver Collar is what your pet wears. It acts as your car radio in that when it is carried within range of the signal field (usually 3 to 6 feet), it activates, producing a tone and a correction (a mild static charge).
Our system is flexible enough that we can install many different configurations. We will customize our system to fit you and your pet’s needs.
