How The SportDog Fence Works

The Transmitter plugs into a standard outlet and emits a radio signal that travels along an underground wire. You can adjust the signal to up to 15 feet from the wire. In most cases, a 4-6 foot signal field will be the best for optimal training. The lightweight receiver worn on your pet's collar picks up the radio signal and alerts him as he nears the underground boundary that you have customized for your yard. When he approaches the boundary, he receives a warning beep. If your dog does not return, he receives a static correction which is startling but not harmful. Our maintenance free design and ease of installation offers tremendous savings compared to conventional fencing and other systems of this type.

By spending just 15 minutes a day working with your pet, he can be fully trained in a few days. You can train as many dogs as you want on the same system, as long as they are each wearing a receiver collar. Additional receivers are available if your have more than one dog.

Bury the boundary wire underground approximately 1-2 inches deep. Using your own design, you can protect your flower and seedbeds, shrubs, trees and even swimming pools. The link below shows the most common ways to layout your in ground fence, but there are almost endless ways of installing a system. For sample layouts, click here.

You can order just the right SportDog Dog Fence for your size yard. The SportDog Dog Fences listed below are the most popular and include enough wire and flags to cover yards up to 5 acres in size. If your yard is larger than 5 acres, all you need is more wire and flags. This system is capable of enclosing up to 100 acres. Training flags are used to establish a visual boundary for your pet during training. After about 30 days, you will be able to remove the flags.
