WARNING
• Not for use with aggressive dogs. Do not use this product if your dog
is prone to aggressive behavior. Aggressive dogs can cause severe
injury or death to their owners and others. If you are not sure that
this product is right for your dog, please talk to your veterinarian or
certied trainer.
• Underground cables can carry high voltage. Have all underground
cables marked before you dig to bury your wire. In most areas, this is
a free service. Avoid these cables when you dig.
• Follow all safety instructions for your power tools. Be sure to always
wear your safety goggles.
• Do not install, connect, or remove your system during a lightning
storm. If the storm is close enough for you to hear thunder, it is close
enough to create hazardous surges.
• Risk of electric shock. Use the transmitter in a dry location only.
CAUTION
• Risk of injury. Wire on top of the ground may be a trip hazard. Use
care in how you place and secure your wire.
• If possible, DO NOT use an AC circuit with a GFCI (ground fault
circuit interrupter). In rare cases, nearby lightning may cause the
GFCI to trip. Without power to the system, your dog may escape.
You will have to reset the GFCI to restore power.
• This eXtreme Dog Fence brand underground dog fence is NOT a
solid barrier. The system is designed to act as a deterrent to remind
dogs, by stimulation, to remain in the established boundary. It is
important that you reinforce training with your dog on a regular basis.
Since the tolerance level to stimulate varies from one dog to the next,
eXtreme Dog Fence CANNOT guarantee that the system will, in all
cases, keep a dog within the established containment area. Not all
dogs can be trained to avoid crossing the boundary. Therefore, if you
have reason to believe that your dog may pose a danger to others or

7
harm himself if he’s not kept from crossing the boundary, you should
NOT rely solely upon the eXtreme Dog Fence brand underground
dog fence to conne your dog. eXtreme Dog Fence shall not be
liable for any property damage, economic loss or any consequential
damages, sustained as a result of any animal crossing the boundary.
Please read and follow the instructions in this manual. Proper t of the
collar is important. A collar worn for too long, or made too tight on the
dog’s neck, may cause skin damage. This could range from redness to
pressure necrosis (commonly known as “bed sores”).
• Avoid leaving the fence collar on your dog for more than 12 hours
per day.
• When possible, reposition the collar on the dog’s neck every 1-2
hours.
• Check the t to prevent excessive pressure. Follow the instructions
in this manual.
• Never connect a leash to the electronic collar. This will cause
excessive pressure on your dog’s neck, from the contacts. Use a
separate non-fence collar with the leash.
• Wash your dog’s neck and the collar’s contact probes each week
with a damp cloth.
• Examine the contact area daily for signs of irritation or a sore.
• If a rash or sore is found, discontinue use of the fence collar until
the skin has healed. If the condition continues beyond 48 hours, see
your veterinarian.
• Keep your dog safely controlled on a leash during training.
These steps will help keep your dog safe and comfortable. Millions of
dogs are comfortable while they wear stainless steel contact probes.
Some dogs are sensitive to contact pressure. You may nd, after some
time, that your dog is very tolerant of the collar. If so, you may relax
some of these precautions. It is important to continue daily checks of the
contact area. If redness or sores are found, discontinue use of the collar
until the skin has fully healed.

8
You may need to trim the hair in the area of the contact probes, or switch
to longer contact probes to ensure consistent contact with the skin.
Never shave a dog’s neck, as this may lead to a rash or infection.
CAUTION
To prevent an unintended correction:
• The collar receiver should not be on your dog when the system is
tested.
• Remove the collar receiver before making any changes to your
system.
• Before placing the collar receiver on your dog, test the signal eld
after any change or adjustment.
NOTICE
• For added protection, when unused for long periods of time or prior
to thunderstorms, unplug power from the wall outlet and disconnect
the boundary wires from the transmitter. This will prevent damage to
the transmitter due to surges.
• Avoid damage to the jacket of the loop wire during the install;
Damage may cause areas of weak signal and lead to early failure of
the loop (triggering the wire break transmitter alarm.)

How the Fence Works
The eXtreme Dog Fence Contain and Train system has been tested
and proven safe, comfortable and effective for dogs from 40 to 180
pounds.
To begin, you will call 811 and schedule them to come out and mark all
of your underground utilities (which will help you avoid setting up your
wire where you will get interference). At this point, you should put your
collar(s) on the charger, and let it charge for 8 hours.
Next, you will determine where you want to mount your fence transmitter.
This should be located near a 110VAC outlet, and in an area that will
ensure no moisture is able to compromise the electronics.
Dene your containment area and lay out your boundary wire (and
twisted wire, if needed), and connect it to the transmitter for testing.
Make any adjustments to the signal eld, to suit your needs. After testing
successful, you can secure your wire in place.
Now, lay out your training ags and you’re ready to begin your fence
training.
The fence works by producing a radio signal from the transmitter, which
is sent through the connected boundary wire. The boundary wire forms a
closed loop with the transmitter, and the signal that it emits will trigger the
collar’s warning/correction when the pet enters the signal eld you set.
Training ags are used as a visual reference, during your dog’s training,
as to where the boundary line lies.
Important: The remote trainer’s effectiveness and range is
highly dependent on the way you hold the remote transmitter. Hold
the remote transmitter in a horizontal position away from your body

12
to achieve maximum range. Terrain, weather, vegetation, vehicle,
buildings, transmission from other radio devices, and other factors
may affect the range of your remote trainer.
How the Remote Trainer Works
Charge up the handheld remote and collar(s) for 8 hours, initially. Future
charging should take no more than 2 hours.
Collars may need to be matched up to the handheld remote, on 1 of 3
channels.
The remote trainer works by using the included handheld remote
to manually trigger the collar for a warning beep, vibration, or static
correction. The remote has 3 channels which allows the training of up
to 3 dogs at a time. Each channel has 10 levels of vibration as well as
10 levels of static correction. Each dog’s settings can be dialed in to
meet their own individual personality and temperament. Under perfect
conditions (with no obstacles or interference), the remote trainer has a
range of approximately 3500 feet.

Setting Up The Fence System
In order to avoid any unnecessary frustration, please ensure that you
follow all the steps required for fence setup:
1. Identify Underground Utilities
Call 811 and schedule having your underground utilities marked by
your local utility companies. They will come out and ag the utility lines,
typically within 2-3 days. This helps in 2 ways; if you are going to bury
your dog fence wire, you can ensure that you don’t damage any existing
lines. Also, you can avoid conguring your wire in a way that will cause
random, intermittent corrections where they are not wanted. In most
states, this is a free service.
2. Charge Up Your Dog Fence Collar
Use the USB charger cable (with the AC adapter, if preferable) and
charge up your dog fence collar(s) for at least 8 hours for the rst charge.
3. Mount Your Transmitter
The fence transmitter should be located indoors, within 3 feet of
a 110VAC electrical outlet. Avoid any area where moisture could
compromise the transmitter’s electronics, or where the temperature could
drop below freezing. You should also mount it at least 3 feet away from
any large metal objects (ie: water heater, washer/dryer, etc.).
4. Layout Wire for Testing
Design a wire layout that is suitable for your yard. Your wire must start
and end at your transmitter, creating a closed loop. Use twisted wire, if
needed for your particular layout design.

20
Important: Running the boundary wire parallel to + within 4-5
feet of electrical wires, neighboring containment systems, telephone
wires, television or antenna cables, or satellite dishes will cause an
inconsistent signal. If you must cross any of these, do so at a 90
degree angle to avoid these inconsistencies.
5. Connect and Power Up the System
Strip about 1/2” of jacket from the 2 wire ends and connect them to the
terminals on the transmitter. Which end connects to each terminal won’t
matter. Power up your transmitter and listen for an audible alarm. If the
transmitter alarms, this indicates that the wire is broken or not properly
connected. Check connection points, and wire for breaks.
If the boundary wire connection is okay, the loop indicator light will
illuminate when you plug in the power supply.
6. Prepare the Collar Receiver
Your collar receiver comes with short contact probes installed. If your dog
has longer hair, you may have to replace these with the longer contact
probes (using the included contact probe wrench) in order to traverse the
neck hair and make good contact with the skin. Now hold the receiver’s
power button until it beeps and powers on.
7. Set the Signal Field Width and Test System
On the transmitter, rotate the dial labeled “Boundary Width Control” to
adjust the signal eld width. This dictates how far from the wire that the
collar receiver will activate. Set your signal eld as wide as possible.
To test the collar receiver, make sure the unit is powered on. Hold the
collar by the strap, with the contact probes pointed up, at your dog’s
neck level. Now approach the wire and listen for the warning beep. This
