WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOUR DOG FENCE"…

Whether you purchased your dog fence last week, last year or several years ago, you know that your system is virtually maintenance free.  Of course the word here is “virtually”.  You probably have noticed that just about anything you own, especially any product that runs on batteries or electricity requires a bit of attention and maintenance.  Your dog fence is no exception. 

1.         Remember to change the battery in your dog’s receiver collar every six months.  As a reminder, mark your calendar about every five and a half months.  Your pet collar has a small light that will flash for about five days before the battery goes dead.  If you’re not in the habit of looking at the receiver around your dog’s neck, you might miss the flashing.  That brings us to number…

2.        Remover your dog’s collar each night and make sure when your dog is wearing it, it is tight enough around his neck so the contact probes touch the skin.  Also, check to be sure the prongs are not loose, especially if you have multiple dogs whose pastime is playing and wrestling.

3.        Your transmitter was mounted in your garage or where it is accessible and noticeable.  Make sure it is always plugged in.  If the alarm sounds that tells you that the boundary wire is broken somewhere in the yard.  This also means the fence is not working and your dog will not hear the warning beeps or feel a correction and may decide it is okay to cross the line.  Call us immediately if you hear the transmitter alarm.

4.        If you are planning to have work done in or around your house that may compromise your dog fence, be sure to warn your contractors that you have an underground fence system.

DON’T FORGET YOUR BATTERIES

If the battery runs out, so will your dog!  Call us or email us and we will mail your batteries the same day!
