    Offering safety and portability, the new Instant Fence from PetSafe is the first electronic containment system with instant installation. If you can plug in a cord, you can install Instant Fence: no unattractive poles to set up and no wires to bury. Instant Fence uses a constant radio signal to create a "stay zone". When your pet leaves the area, he receives a correction until he returns. Since Instant Fence is completely portable, you can take it and your pet wherever you go. So your pet is safe, and your mind is at ease.

    How it works - Petsafe Instant Fence is a revolutionary new concept that provides the safest, simplest form of pet containment ever. You plug in a transmitter somewhere inconspicuously in your home. It emits a radio signal around your home. Your pet wears a lightweight receiver collar which listens for the signal. While its receiving the signal, your dog is free to run and play. When it approaches the boundary of the signal area, it receives a warning beep.

    If it continues, it receives a light static energy pulse which is startling but not harmful. With a little training that is simple and quick, your pet quickly learns its boundaries. Setting the boundaries of your yard takes only a few minutes by adjusting the range on the transmitter, from a radius of just a few feet to up to 90 feet.

    Setting up your Instant Fence takes only minutes. The transmitter plugs into any standard 110 volt outlet. Since the signal can transmit reliably through walls or other household obstructions, it can be placed in any convenient and discreet location in your house, typically a garage or closet. A small dial allows you to adjust the signal area.

    Training is simple and easy. Once you have adjusted the signal to the perimeter you want, mark the boundary by placing small training flags at the edge of the signal area.

    Then, using a leash and holding the collar, walk your pet around the boundary, pointing and shaking the flags, saying "NO" and letting your pet hear the beeping of the collar.

    Next, let your pet wear the collar and walk the boundary again. Let it, on its own, venture into the signal area and get the correction. Quickly pull it back into its yard and praise and play with it, again pointing to the flags and saying "NO". Repeat this process each day for a few weeks and your dog will quickly learn its new boundaries. After thirty days, you can gradually remove the flags.

  • Q - How old does a dog have to be before starting training?
    A - This is somewhat breed dependent, but most breeds should be at least 6 months of age.

    Q - During training an owner observes their dog sitting in the correction zone. The owner has touched the probes and has determined the collar is working. The owner can see the dog's skin flinch, so he is sure the dog is receiving the correction. What should the owner do to prevent this from happening?

    A - Retrain the dog by putting it on a long leash. As soon as the dog is observed entering the corrective zone it should be pulled out and redirected to the "sit" and "stay" command.

    Q - Once a dog is trained to the system what is the best way to take the dog out of the boundary?
    A - Create what is called an "invisible gate" and take the dog out only through this gate.

    Q - Once a dog is trained to the system how does the owner create the "invisible gate" concept?
    A - Place a long leash on the dog. Turn the system off. Remove the dog's collar. Put the dog on the "sit" and "stay" command near the area that will become the "gate". Owner walks out of yard and asks dog to "come".

    Q - If a dog is running through the system at only one spot in the yard, how is this corrected?
    A - Set him up at this location. For example, have him on a long leash and then have someone else walk by that spot or walk their dog by that spot. When the dog attempts to leave - pull him back with the leash and then redirect him to the "sit" and "stay" commands.

    Q - What is the dummy collar effect?
    A - This is a procedure where the collar is eliminated as a factor in learning. In other words, the dog wears the collar without it being activated for 3-5 days. This way the dog does not learn that the collar causes the correction, but rather getting to close to the yard boundary.

    Q - How long should an owner take to create the dummy collar effect?
    A - On the average, it will take at least 3 days and as long as 7 days.

    Q - How many days should the dog wear a deactivated collar before receiving the correction for the first time?
    A - At least three days and in some cases as long as 7 days.

    Q - The first time the dog receives the correction should he be on or off a leash?
    A - On the leash. This way the owner can easily redirect the dog to the appropriate behavior.

    Q - What is the purpose of having the dog on a leash the first time he receives the correction?
    A - So in the even the dog would become confused, the owner can easily direct him to the appropriate behavior.

    Q - How long should the owner leave the flags up?
    A - The flags should remain for at least 2 weeks, but in some cases as long as 30 days.

    Q - What is meant by the "safe zone"?
    A - The area where the dog can roam freely without getting a correction.

    Q - Is this a humane way to train a dog?
    A - Absolutely. While the correction is unpleasant, it is harmless to your pet. Electronic training devices require interaction and training from the owner to achieve desired results. Therefore Radio Systems Corporation provides comprehensive video and training manuals with each training product. These tools were developed with veterinarians and animal behaviorists to ensure safety and peace of mind for you and your pet.

    Q - How do I prevent one dog from chewing on the collar of another dog?
    A - If you see one dog chewing on the other dog's collar - pull him off and redirect him to "sit" and "stay".
