• Always use gradual turns at the corners with a minimum 1 m (3 ft) radius, to produce a more consistent
boundary (2B). Do not use sharp turns, as this will cause gaps in your boundary.
• Avoid making passageways too narrow for your pet to move about freely (e.g., along the sides of a house).
• The Receiver Collar can be activated inside the house if the Boundary Wire runs along the outside wall of the
house. If this occurs, remove your pet's Receiver Collar before bringing him inside, decrease the range using the
Boundary Width Control knob or consider an alternative layout.

Sample Layouts
Double Loop
A Double Loop must be used when you are not establishing the Boundary Zone on all sides of your property.
When using a Double Loop, the Boundary Wire must be separated by a minimum of 1.5 m (5 ft) to avoid canceling
the signal. Remember that a Double Loop will require twice as much wire.

Sample 3 (2F): Front or Back
Property Only (Double Loop)
From the Fence Transmitter, run the
wire to A, A to B, B to C, C to D,
D to E, E to F, make a U-turn and
follow your path all the way back to
A, keeping the wire separated 1.5 m
(5 ft). Twist the wire from A back to
the Fence Transmitter.

Sample 1:
Perimeter Loop
(Single Loop) The
Perimeter Loop is
the most common
layout. This will
allow your pet to
freely and safely
roam your entire
property (2C). It
can also protect
flower gardens and
landscaping (2D).

Sample 2 (2E): Perimeter Loop Using Existing
Fence (Single Loop)
This layout allows you to include your existing fence as
part of your layout and keep your pet from jumping out or
digging under your existing fence. It reduces the amount
of wire which will need to be buried. From the Fence
Transmitter, run the wire to A, A to B, B to C, C to D,
D to E, E to A, twist the wires from A back to the Fence
Transmitter. See the "Install the Boundary Wire" section
for more information on attaching the wire to a fence.
