See table for minimum number of reels required.Add approximately 20% to
allow for awkward shaped perimeters.

the dog recognise the new boundaries during the initial training period. See
Training section page 23.) Available from Plant Hire shops and Sports outlets.

reacts immediately according to time and distance from the wire (w).

How the system works

7
Layout Overview
a) The wire must form a complete loop around the area to be enclosed, starting and
finishing at the Control Unit.
b) Before attempting to bury or otherwise fix the wire in place, lay the complete loop
on the surface and test that your chosen route will work to your expectation (see
p21). This will facilitate any necessary later adjustment to the proposed route.
c) When satisfied, firm up the installation (see pages 11 &12)

Choosing the Route
a) Follow natural boundary markers e.g. fence, wall, line of bushes or
trees or the edge of the lawn.
b) Crossing the lawn, for example, is not recommended, since the dog
will not easily recognise an arbitrary boundary.
