The Ultimate Guide to Installing Your Petsafe In-Ground Fence

Are you considering installing a Petsafe in-ground fence for your pets but not sure where to start? In this comprehensive guide, we will walk you through the installation process step by step.

Step 1: Planning and Preparation

Before you begin, make sure to carefully plan the layout of your in-ground fence. Take into account your property’s size, any landscaping obstacles, and the comfort and safety of your pets. Contact utility companies to ensure you won’t dig into any underground cables or pipes.

Step 2: Installing the Transmitter

Start by installing the transmitter in a dry, well-ventilated area of your home. Connect it to power and test that it’s functioning correctly. Place it away from large metal objects or appliances that may interfere with the signal.

Step 3: Laying the Boundary Wire

Next, plan out where you will bury the boundary wire. Use a trenching tool or shovel to create a shallow trench along the planned path. Lay the wire carefully and secure it with pet-safe staples. Ensure there are no breaks or sharp bends in the wire.

Step 4: Testing and Training

Once the boundary wire is in place, it’s time to test the system. Walk your pets around the perimeter with their training collars on and supervise their reactions to the warning beeps. Provide positive reinforcement and repeat the process until they understand their boundaries.

Step 5: Final Adjustments

Make any necessary adjustments to the fence settings based on your pets’ behavior. Monitor their interactions with the boundary and continue training sessions until they are fully comfortable with the system.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Petsafe in-ground fence and created a safe space for your pets to roam freely. Remember to routinely check and maintain the system to ensure its effectiveness and your pets’ safety.
