PetSafe In-Ground Fence System PIG19-15394 Instruction Manual

1. Bubuka

The PetSafe In-Ground Fence System provides a reliable method to keep your dog safely contained within a designated area. This system utilizes a buried wire to establish a boundary, and a receiver collar worn by your dog provides a warning tone followed by a static stimulation if the boundary is approached or crossed. This manual provides detailed instructions for setting up, operating, and maintaining your system to ensure effective and humane pet containment.

• Introduction to Flags: Initially, walk your dog on a leash around the perimeter marked by the training flags. Allow them to hear the warning tone without receiving static stimulation.
• Boundary Recognition: Gradually introduce static stimulation at a low level, allowing your dog to associate the tone and stimulation with the boundary flags.
• Kaulinan anu diawaskeun: Once your dog understands the boundary, allow supervised off-leash play within the containment area.
