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.)
