• 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 a certified trainer.

• This PetSafe®Stay + Play Wireless Fence®is
NOT a solid barrier. The system is designed
to act as a deterrent to remind pets by
Static Correction to remain in the boundary
established. It is important that you reinforce
training with your pet on a regular basis.
Since the tolerance level to Static Correction
varies from pet to pet, Radio Systems®
Corporation CANNOT guarantee that the
system will, in all cases, keep a pet within
the established boundary. Not all pets can
be trained to avoid crossing the boundary!
Therefore, if you have reason to believe that
your pet may pose a danger to others or
harm himself if he is not kept from crossing
the boundaries, you should NOT rely solely
upon the PetSafe®Stay + Play Wireless
Fence®to confine your pet. Radio Systems®
Corporation shall NOT be liable for any
property damage, economic loss or any
consequential damages, sustained as a
result of any animal crossing the boundary.

• Proper fit of the collar is important. A collar
worn for too long or made too tight on the
pet’s neck may cause skin damage. Ranging
from redness to pressure ulcers; this
condition is commonly known as bed sores.
- Avoid leaving the collar on the dog for
more than 12 hours per day.
- When possible reposition the collar on
the pet’s neck every 1 to 2 hours.
- Check the fit to prevent excessive
pressure; follow the instructions in
this manual.
- Never connect a lead to the electronic
collar; it will cause excessive pressure
on the contacts.
- When using a separate collar for a lead,
don’t put pressure on the
electronic collar.
- Wash the dog’s neck area and the
contacts of the collar weekly with a
damp cloth.

- Examine the contact area daily for signs
of a rash or a sore.
- If a rash or sore is found, discontinue use
of the collar until the skin
has healed.
- If the condition persists beyond 48 hours,
see your veterinarian.
- For additional information on bed sores
and pressure necrosis, please
visit our website.
These steps will help keep your pet safe and
comfortable. Millions of pets are comfortable
while they wear stainless steel contacts. Some
pets are sensitive to contact pressure. You
may find after some time that your pet 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 until the skin
has fully healed.

• You may need to trim the hair in the area of
the Contact Points. Never shave the dog’s
neck; this may lead to a rash or infection.
• Always remove your dog’s Receiver Collar
before performing any Transmitter testing.
• The Receiver Collar should not be on your
dog when the system is tested. Your pet may
receive an unintended correction.
• If you use a collar and leash for training, be
sure the extra collar does not put pressure
on the contact points.
• Never remove power from the system when
the collar is on the pet. This may activate the
Receiver Collar.

• To prevent an unintended correction, after
the Boundary Flags have been placed,
be sure to set the static correction on the
Receiver Collar back to level 1 tone only.
• Do not charge your Receiver Collar every
night. Charging too often can reduce battery
life. Charge your Receiver Collar when the
Receiver Indicator Light blinks yellow; or
when the light blinks red.

How the System Works
The PetSafe®Stubborn Dog Stay + Play Wireless Fence®has been
proven safe, comfortable, and effective for pets over 5 pounds.
The system works by transmitting a radio signal up to 105 feet in all
directions. You temporarily define the Pet Area with Boundary Flags
for a visual aid in training your pet. Your pet wears a Receiver Collar
with Contact Points that touch his neck, and, once trained, is allowed
to roam freely in the Pet Area. When your pet reaches the Boundary
Zone, the Receiver Collar gives a warning tone before delivering a
safe Static Correction through the Contact Points to get his attention
until he returns to the Pet Area.
Key Definitions
Receiver Collar: Receives the radio signal from the
Transmitter.
Mode Button: Turns Receiver on/off and adjusts the level of
Static Correction your pet receives outside the Pet Area.
