Setting Up Your Petsafe Basic In-Ground Fence: A Step-by-Step Guide

Keeping your pets safe and secure while still giving them the freedom to roam can be achieved with the Petsafe Basic In-Ground Fence. This innovative system provides a safe boundary for your furry friends to explore without the need for physical barriers. To help you get started, we’ve put together this comprehensive setup guide.

Step 1: Planning Your Fence Installation

The first step in setting up your Petsafe Basic In-Ground Fence is to determine the boundary area where you want your pets to stay within. Consider any obstructions or landscaping that may affect the boundary layout.

Step 2: Installing the Transmitter

Next, install the transmitter in a dry, well-ventilated area near a power outlet. The transmitter communicates with the receiver collar worn by your pet and emits a radio signal to define the boundaries of the fence.

Step 3: Laying the Boundary Wire

Use the provided boundary wire to create the perimeter of the fence. Bury the wire according to the manufacturer’s instructions or secure it above ground using the included staples.

Step 4: Training Your Pet

Proper training is essential for your pet to learn and respect the boundaries of the in-ground fence. Use positive reinforcement techniques to help your pet understand where they can and cannot go.

Step 5: Testing and Adjusting Settings

After setting up the fence, test the system to ensure proper functioning. Adjust the settings as needed to customize the fence to your pet’s behavior and personality.

Step 6: Supervision and Maintenance

Regularly check the collar fit, battery status, and boundary wire integrity to maintain the effectiveness of the in-ground fence. Supervise your pet during the initial training period to ensure they adapt to the system.

With the Petsafe Basic In-Ground Fence, you can create a secure environment for your pets to enjoy outdoor freedom while keeping them safe within defined boundaries. Follow these steps to set up your in-ground fence and give your furry friends the space they need to roam and play.
