What is the warning boundary area or signal field area on either side of the wire?
One of the most important features is having system with an adjustable signal field level and knowing how to properly adjust it. The signal field is what controls the distance from the boundary wire where the collar gives a warning beep. Many of the horror stories you hear about dogs running away is that people have the signal field set at only 3 feet from the wire. That only makes the signal field 6 feet long and 3 feet high (remember the signal is 360 degrees around the wire). Many dogs can jump that and at high speeds it’s really nothing to discourage the dog. It is recommended that you set the signal as far back from the wire as your property allows, minimally set the signal 6-8 feet. If you set the signal field at 8 feet then the correction zone is 8 feet high and 16 feet wide. Most dogs will not test that kind of correction. Can I contain more than one dog with my electric dog fence ? Yes, additional dog collar receivers can be purchased separately. Both Innotek’s and PetSafe pet
