How does an in-ground pet fence actually work?

An in-ground fence works by sending a radio signal through a buried boundary wire (up to 4,500 feet). Your pet wears a receiver collar that picks up the signal. When your pet nears the boundary, the receiver collar will tone and vibrate to alert your pet that he has entered the warning zone. If he continues to venture out, the receiver collar will issue a safe but startling correction, like the static you feel if you drag your feet across a carpet and then touch a door handle.

How long will it take to install an in-ground pet fence?

It can take up to 2 days to properly plan and install the Stubborn Dog In-Ground Fence™ system. Pick a weekend with good weather and consider asking a friend for help.

How do I fit the Stubborn Dog In-Ground Fence™ Receiver Collar?

Proper fit is essential to the effectiveness and safety of the receiver collar. If it’s too loose, it won’t correct your dog. If the collar is too tight it might irritate your dog’s skin. Visit our support site for more information about how to fit your dog’s collar.

How do I train my dog to learn the fenced-in area?

You’ll want to make sure you spend time consistently training your dog so he learns where his new boundary area is. We recommend this fence for dogs who are at least 6 months and older based on your dog’s cognitive development. A puppy should be able to consistently respond to basic commands such as “come” and “sit” before he is ready to start training with any kind of static correction collar.
