How the System Works
A radio signal is sent by the transmitter to a receiver located on your dog’s collar. The signal is transmitted through a wire
which is placed along the boundaries you want to establish. The wire is an antenna that carries the signal. The receiver,
attached to your dog’s collar, provides a warning beep when he approaches the wire. If your pet continues into the Static
Correction Zone, a safe Static Correction will be delivered through the Contact Points to get his attention until he returns
to the Pet Area. Although harmless, this will discourage him from continuing further. Three adjustable levels of correction
allow you to choose the one that is appropriate for your dog’s temperament. The PetSafe
®
UltraSmart
®
In-Ground Fence
™
has been proven safe, comfortable and effective for dogs over 8 pounds.
