3. Setup
Before beginning installation, please read all instructions thoroughly. The system can typically be set up over a weekend.
3.1 Planning Your Boundary
The in-ground fence allows for a customizable barrier to contain your dog in your entire yard, a partial area, or to prevent access to specific zones like a garden or pool. The included wire covers up to 1/3 acre. For larger areas, the system is expandable up to 5 acres with the Premier Pet Wire and Flag Expansion Set (GRFA-500).

3.2 Installing the Boundary Wire
The boundary wire needs to be installed in the ground to create the invisible fence. Follow the detailed instructions in the product manual for proper wire placement and burial. The included boundary flags serve as a visual aid during the initial training phase.
3.3 Transmitter and Power Connection
Connect the transmitter to a power source using the provided power adaptor and surge protector. Ensure the transmitter is placed in a dry, protected area.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Receiver Collar Operation
The waterproof receiver collar is adjustable up to 26 inches, suitable for both smaller and larger dogs (6 months or older, weighing more than 8 pounds). The collar communicates with the fence transmitter to provide correction when your dog approaches the boundary.

4.2 Correction Levels
The collar features 1 level of tone-only correction for initial training and 4 adjustable levels of static correction. Choose the level that is most effective for your dog's temperament and training needs.
4.3 Safety Time-Out Feature
For your dog's safety, the system includes a time-out feature that stops correcting after 30 seconds if your dog remains outside the boundary zone.
4.4 Training Your Dog
Effective training is crucial for the success of the in-ground fence system. Most pets can be trained within two weeks. Follow the detailed training guide provided in your product manual to introduce your dog to the boundary and the collar's corrections.
4.5 Adding Additional Dogs
You can add an unlimited number of dogs to your system. Each additional dog will require a Premier Pet In-Ground Add-A-Dog collar (GIG00-16920), which is sold separately.
