What is DOG GUARD?
DOG GUARD is an electronic fence system that is
installed underground by burying a single wire
as a complete loop along the entire perimeter
of your property. This underground boundary can
also include certain portions of your yard, such
as a pool or garden. Your dog is safely contained
within your yard, while not being allowed to trample
your gardens or swim in your pool.

How does it work?
First, a transmitter is installed in a convenient
location, such as the garage or basement. Then,
the wire loop is placed underground. The transmitter
sends a harmless radio signal through the wire,
which is picked up by the small receiver on the
dog's collar. When the dog nears the wire, the
receiver picks up the signal and gives off an
audible warning, while at the same time giving
the dog a mild correction.

Isn't it cruel to correct my dog all the time?
The correction has been thoroughly tested and
proven to be harmless. It is a mild static pulsation,
similar to a shock from a doorknob, yet unpleasant
enough that the dog will quickly learn to avoid
it. The whole purpose of a good pet containment
system is to contain your pet without correcting
him all the time. The DOG GUARD system along with
the training your pet receives ensure that your
pet learns the boundary and stays away from it.
Most pets will never sustain more than two or
three corrections. Remember the level of correction
must be greater than the level of distraction.

How does the training system work?
The boundary is marked off with flags, creating
a visible boundary line for the pet. For two weeks,
the dog owner should spend fifteen minutes, twice
daily, exercising the dog around the flag boundary.
If the dog moves toward the flags, he should be
told "NO!" The dog should then be moved
away from the flags and given lots of praise.
By using this technique, the dog will quickly
learn where the boundary is located. Later, once
the dog becomes familiar with the boundary, the
flags can be removed. Remember, praise and repetition
are the keys to success!

Can a dog on the DOG GUARD system be
taken out of the yard for a walk?
Yes! Once the dog is trained to the system, he
can be taken outside of the yard. The DOG GUARD
receiver collar must be taken off before putting
the leash on.

How do I know that the system is functioning
properly?
Our transmitter has three colored indicator lights.
The red and green light should be on all the time,
while the yellow light will only come on in the
event of an electrical surge or lightning damage.

Are your batteries rechargeable?
They are not. Rechargeable batteries, while a
good idea, do not suit the purpose of a good pet
containment system. To be most effective, rechargeable
batteries need to be totally drained before recharging.
What do you do while the battery is recharging?
How do you know when the battery is sufficiently
drained? To save our customers from worrying about
these questions, we offer a battery
plan. To obtain pricing, contact us now!

How much does DOG GUARD cost?
DOG GUARD costs much less than traditional fencing,
and has none of the maintenance and aesthetic
problems. The cost will vary, depending on the
size of the property and the number of dogs on
the system. Every DOG GUARD dealer works directly
with the manufacturer, therefore the cost of DOG
GUARD may be lower than you think.

beholder. However, here are some facts you may
want to consider when comparing our product with
any other product on the market:* The DOG GUARD
