How the System Works
The PetSafe®Wireless Pet Containment System®has been proven safe, comfortable,
and effective for pets over 8 pounds.The system works by transmitting a radio signal
up to 90 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
beep before delivering a safe Static Correction through the Contact Points to get his
attention until he returns to the Pet Area.
