Petsafe In-Ground Fence: Troubleshooting and Fixes

Having trouble with your Petsafe in-ground fence system? It can be frustrating when your pet’s safety is at stake. In this blog post, we will explore common issues with these systems and provide solutions to get your fence working effectively again.

Interference Problems: One of the most common issues with in-ground fences is interference. Make sure there are no electronic devices or metal structures near the boundary wire that could be disrupting the signal. Test the system in an open space to rule out interference.

Collar Malfunction: If the collar is not delivering the correction signal to your pet, check the batteries and ensure they are properly inserted. Also, adjust the collar’s fit to ensure it is snug but not too tight.

Boundary Wire Breaks: Inspect the boundary wire for any breaks or cuts. Even small damages can disrupt the signal. Repair any breaks by splicing the wire back together and protecting the connection with waterproof tape.

Incorrect Settings: Sometimes, the settings on the transmitter may need to be adjusted. Make sure the signal range is set correctly and that the correction levels are appropriate for your pet’s size and behavior.

By troubleshooting these common issues, you can ensure your Petsafe in-ground fence is working correctly and keeping your pet safe within the designated area.
