<p>We have used Invisible Fence very successfully for many years.
We are on our second dog with this system, a herding breed dog. </p>
<p>1.) Change the battery when you receive it in the mail from the Battery Plan.
Test it by holding the ends of the collar & you walk into the field & hear the beep, then you know it is working for sure. </p>
<p>2.) Training, the flag set up everything should be consistent. If you have more than one dog, each dog should be trained separately. </p>
<p>3.) Those prongs should be tight up vs. the dog’s neck, if the collar is too loose, it will not work. You should only be able to get your finger between the end of prong & dog’s fur. If the prongs & battery unit move all around the dog’s neck the collar is too loose.</p>
<p>4.) A dog should NEVER be led over the boundary without the collar on. If you want to take your dog for a walk off the property, you put him in your car & drive to your destination & then walk him. </p>
<p>5.) If you are still having trouble training your dog, call Invisible Fence. </p>
<p>6.) If you are using Invisible Fence, if the wire should be cut an alarm goes off from the box located in your house, so you know the wire has been cut & system not working. </p>
<p>Both our dogs have been so well trained, that even when the electricity goes off, we do not worry. They never challenged the system. But if you have a dog who checks every day to hear that beep, then as the dog’s owner you must be very diligent.</p>
