The Importance Of Pet Fence Troubleshooting
The easiest way to fix a wire break in your DogWatch Hidden Fence is to call your local DogWatch Dealer. You can also request a service call via our Service Request Form. Our DogWatch Dealers and their installation teams are experienced in fixing wire breaks quickly and thoroughly. They have handheld tools that help them locate the break by scanning the area where the wire was placed, and they have the supplies and knowledge needed to properly repair the wire. We specialize in expertly installing underground dog fences, ensuring a seamless blend with your landscaping while providing the ultimate freedom for your pet.
H2O Content of soil aids in the conditions required to cause wire corrosion. Water can also help delay some wire break alerts by conducting electricity thru the moist soils. Sometimes these phantom signals present themselves the day the fence is installed.
The gentle swaying of the trees rocks the ground in the vicinity of the tree. This slight movement shifts the ground around a tiny break or bad splice. Continuous pulling of the wire just a tiny bit over and over again can cause a splice to separate, pet fence troubleshooting or a nick to break or pull and relax, pull and relax. If we ran our installation machine (as opposed to hand installation) the wire will most likely be three to six inches in depth. However, it is shallower where we encountered tree roots or rocks.
Consequently, all we can do is respond to your next requests for service. We ask that you remain patient with us as we gradually work our way thru each repair until it finally quits breaking again someday. In some situations, large metal objects are energized by the fence signal causing your dog’s collar to beep or shock in places where you did not expect it.
Ensure it is properly fitted as some dog breeds can remove or tamper with the collar with a little pulling and sometimes chewing it. Make sure it is tight enough to emit an electrical shock that will keep your dog within your yard. Our dog fence wire does not heal itself like you or me if we cut or skin our finger or knee. A single nick in a line is bad, as it eventually corrodes given enough time and exposure to moisture in the soil.
