FAQs
Is this collar suitable for a dog under 40 lbs?
This collar is specifically designed for large dogs. For dogs under 40 lbs, a smaller or differently sized PetSafe collar may be more appropriate and comfortable.
How do I know if the collar is correctly fitted?
The collar should be snug enough that the contact points have consistent contact with your dog's skin, but not so tight that it causes discomfort. You should be able to fit two fingers between the collar strap and your dog's neck.
What does the audible signal and vibration mean?
The audible signal and vibration are warning cues. They indicate that your dog is approaching the boundary line and should turn back. If the dog continues to move towards the boundary, a safe electrostatic stimulation will follow.
Can I use this collar in the rain?
Yes, this collar is waterproof and designed to be used in all weather conditions, including rain.
Does this collar come with a fence system?
No, this product is a spare collar and receiver unit. It is designed to be used with an existing PetSafe electric fence system transmitter.
How often do I need to replace the battery?
Battery life varies depending on usage and the dog's proximity to the boundary. Refer to your PetSafe fence system's manual for specific battery recommendations and replacement intervals.
What is the warranty on this collar?
Warranty information can vary. Please refer to the product packaging or the PetSafe website for specific warranty details applicable to this collar model.
Troubleshooting
Collar is not delivering any correction.
Check that the collar is properly paired with the fence system, the battery is charged or new, and the contact points are clean and making good contact with the dog's skin. Ensure the dog is within the designated boundary area.
Collar is delivering constant correction.
Verify that the fence system is correctly installed and the boundary wire is not damaged. Ensure the collar is not too close to the transmitter or another source of interference. Adjust the collar fit to ensure it's not too tight.
Dog is able to cross the boundary.
Check the fence system's signal strength and adjust the boundary width if necessary. Ensure the collar's correction level is set appropriately for your dog's temperament and size. Confirm the collar battery is sufficiently charged.
Collar appears to be damaged or not working intermittently.
Inspect the collar for any visible damage. If issues persist, contact PetSafe customer support for further assistance or consider replacing the collar.
