Containment Fences FAQs
Can I use the fence for more than 1 dog?
Yes, Extra collars are available for purchase.
What is a circuit?
Containment fences work by creating a circuit from the transmitter. The wire must leave and return to the transmitter with no breaks in the wire.
How do I keep my driveway open?
If you have a concrete driveway, you can cut a small channel out using a grinder. Run the wire through the channel then use a chalking compound to cover it. Using a conduit will help protect the wire.
Can I put the wire down 1 fence line?
You can, but you must maintain a circuit from the transmitter. Run the wire down the single fence line and loop it back to the transmitter leaving a meter or 2 between the wires to prevent negating the radio signal.
