Product Description
Keep the family dog safe in the yard with this in-ground pet fencing system. Once installed, the system provides an effective way to keep the dog not only in the yard, but also clear of out-of-bounds areas such as flowerbeds, gardens, decorative shrubbery, and pools. When the dog approaches the buried wire, a radio signal tells the dog’s collar to administer a brief, harmless stimulation that he’ll quickly learn to avoid. Even more, patented run-through prevention offers secure, reliable containment.
The rechargeable collar receiver comes with a comfortable strap that fits neck sizes 8 to 24 inches. For convenience, the system’s exclusive ReadyTest produces a brief, pleasant clicking to indicate the perfect collar fit, plus it shows the system status and battery status. The unit’s indoor wall-mounted transmitter provides added peace of mind with an audible and visual wire-break alarm, as well as built-in 24/7 battery backup in the event of power failure. The kit includes 500 feet of single-conductor ground wire to enclose up to 1/3 acre (expandable to 25 acres with additional wire kits), two-hour quick-charging lithium ion batteries, boundary wire, and training flags, as well as a training support 800 number, complete installation instructions, and a DVD. The 4-ounce receiver measures 2-3/4 by 3/4 by 1-1/4 inches, and the system carries a limited lifetime warranty.
Innotek recommends dogs be at least six months old before starting a remote training program. For the safety of the dog, a long lead should be used during initial training to ensure control of the situation. If the dog shows signs of growling, snarling, or biting while using the collar, stop immediately and consult a professional dog trainer or animal behaviorist.
New INNOTEK UltraSmart in-ground pet fencing systems set a new standard. The difference is in the sleek, streamlined comfortable collar – 30% smaller and lighter than other containment receivers.
We chose the Ultrasmart system because it is the smallest collar on the market that is rechargeable. And the charge lasts for weeks!
Installation was easy. The wire only needs to be burried between 1 and 3 inches. I did this completely by and with a spade. I don’t recommend this approach, but you can do it. It took me two evenings after work. I simply ran the spade into the ground a few inches and wiggled it. I moved along and had a little crevice to put the wire in. If you need to run a lot of wire get a gas powered edger. Use a wooden paint stick, to bury the wire. Also, use a power drill to twist the wire for those areas where you want the signal to be canceled so the dogs can run through. Don’t get me wrong, this installation is work. The video and instructions are helpful.
Training takes time, but it is not hard. You have a dog to spend time with it anyway, so make the training fun and enjoy the time with your dog. If you watch the video and follow the instructions this works great. Be consistient and don’t skip any days. Your dog will learn quickly and may need a reminder every once in a while. But after the few weeks of training your dog will be fine in the yard. With a little continued follow-up your dog will be fine for extended periods of time too.
