How to Install Innotek In-Ground Dog Fence

Installing an in-ground dog fence can be a rewarding project that benefits both you and your furry friend. In this guide, we will walk you through the step-by-step process of installing the Innotek in-ground dog fence system.

Step 1: Planning and Preparation

Before you begin the installation, gather the necessary tools and materials. Make sure you have a map of your yard and any necessary permits for burying the wire. Plan out where you want the boundaries to be and where the transmitter will be located.

Step 2: Installing the Transmitter

Place the transmitter in a dry, ventilated area of your home. Connect it to a power source and test to ensure it is working correctly. Make sure the transmitter is away from large metal objects or electronics that may interfere with the signal.

Step 3: Burying the Wire

Use a trenching tool or a lawn edger to bury the wire around the perimeter of your yard. Follow the boundary lines you have planned out, making sure the wire is at least 3 to 4 inches underground to protect it from damage.

Step 4: Connecting the Collar

Attach the receiver collar to your dog’s collar according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Make sure it fits snugly but not too tight. Test the collar to ensure it is working properly before allowing your dog to roam freely in the yard.

Step 5: Training Your Dog

Introduce your dog to the boundaries of the fence using flags to mark the perimeter. Use positive reinforcement to teach your dog where the boundaries are and how to respond to the warning signals from the collar. Supervise your dog closely during the training process.

Step 6: Fine-Tuning and Maintenance

Once your dog is familiar with the boundaries, adjust the settings on the transmitter and collar as needed. Regularly check the system for any damage or malfunctions, and replace batteries in the collar as necessary.

By following these steps, you can successfully install an Innotek in-ground dog fence in your yard and provide a safe and secure environment for your pet to enjoy.
