Important Bits Of Dog Fence Installation
We recommend this fence for dogs who are at least 6 months and older based on your dog’s cognitive development. A puppy should be able to consistently respond to basic commands such as “come” and “sit” before he is ready to start training with any kind of static correction collar. You can search online for local retailers or check with your local home improvement store.
As always, you need to check your collar to make sure that it isn’t being triggered when your dog comes in and out. Also test rooms near the line of the gutter to make dog fence installation certain there is no signal spilling over into those rooms. If there is, turn down the setting of the boundary width on your transmitter until it doesn’t happen anymore.
Typically, one large loop is run around the area, and an area of twisted wire connects back to the control box and allows the dog to pass over it without receiving a correction. Also, be sure not to run wires along other telephone, electrical, or antenna wires. As with an electrical work, be sure to take the proper safety precautions. Once the test passes it’s time to start digging and installing the underground dog fence wire.
Once your under ground dog fence is working as designed, you’ll want to test the entire perimeter of the border to make sure the signal is detectable and working properly in all areas. To do this, you can simply walk around the perimeter of the fence while holding the dog’s receiver collar in your hands. In order to conduct a more accurate test, make sure you are holding the collar at a height that approximates the height of your dog. As you walk around the fence boundary, you should hear the warning beeps as you walk towards all edges of the fence.
