How the System Works Proven to be safe, comfortable, and effective for dogs over 10 lbs./5kg., the DF113R Dog Fence System is a combination of both the in ground fence system and the remote dog training system. To begin with, you define the Pet Area or boundaries you wish to have for your pet. Once that is determined, Boundary Wire is buried or attached to a fixed object to enclose the Pet Area.
wears a Receiver Collar with Contact Prongs that touch your dog’s neck. When your pet reaches the Warning Zone, the Receiver Collar gives a warning beep to indicate you pet has reached the boundary. If your pet continues into the Correction Zone, a safe Vibration and Static Correction will be delivered through the Contact Prongs to get your dog’s attention until your dog returns to the ‘Safe Pet Area.’ Once trained, your pet is allowed to roam freely in the designated ‘Safe Pet Area.
pulling washing off your line, digging under your fence, etc. Important: The Remote Trainer’s effectiveness and range is highly dependent on the way you hold the Remote Transmitter. Hold the Remote Transmitter in a horizontal position away from your body to achieve maximum range. Terrain, weather, vegetation, vehicle, buildings, transmission from other radio devices, and other factors may affect the range of your Remote Trainer. Main Features 1.

To ensure your system works as designed, please follow these step‐by‐step directions for proper setup. I.
power shortages and proper function, install the Fence Transmitter inside a building or covered area away from the elements. Place the Fence Transmitter in a dry area where the temperature will not fall below freezing and at least three feet from any major appliance. II. Layout the system and position the boundary wire: Design a Boundary Wire layout that is suitable for your yard. The Boundary Wire must start at the Fence Transmitter and make a continuous loop back.
III. Connect the boundary wire to the Fence Transmitter: Strip the ends of the Boundary Wire and Insert each into the Boundary Wire Terminals of Fence Transmitter to make a complete loop. Plug the Power Adaptor into the Power Jack of the Fence Transmitter and AC power supply outlet. Important: If the Boundary Wire connection is OK, the Loop Indicator Light will turn on after you plug in the power supply. Otherwise, the Fence Transmitter will beep to warn of a break in the loop. IV.
V. Set the boundary width and test the Receiver Collar: Rotate the knob of the Boundary Control Switch to adjust the width of the Warning Zone and also the Vibrate and Static Correction Zone. Set the Boundary width as wide as possible to give your pet the widest Warning Zone and Correction Zone possible. To test the Receiver Collar, make sure the collar is first powered on.
The Receiver Collar beeps as a warning tone and ticks when delivering a vibration. After hearing the beeps, continue walking toward the Boundary Wire. The Receiver Collar will then emit a static shock, indicating you’ve entered the Correction Zone. The Receiver Collar has one vibration and 3 levels of static correction without the Remote Trainer. Important: When your pet is walking close to the Boundary Wire, they will first receive a warning beep, then a vibration warning, and finally a static shock.
VI. Install the Boundary Wire: Installation of the Boundary wire begins with burying the wire to protect it and prevent people, animals, or even weather to disrupt the wire and break your continuous loop. To start, cut a trench 1‐3 inches deep along your planned boundary. Place the Boundary Wire into the trench maintaining some slack to allow it to expand and contract with temperature variations.
can be attached as high as needed; however, make sure the Boundary Width is set at a high enough range for the pet to receive the signal. The Boundary Wire can also be placed above the ground inside a conduit for protection. Important: If attaching the boundary Wire to an existing fence the fence cannot be made of solid metal sheeting as this will interfere with the signal emitted from the transmitter box. VII.
around the Warning Zone until it is marked with Boundary Flags approximately every 10 feet. VIII. Fit the Receiver Collar: Now that you’ve set the Boundary Area, it’s time to fit your dog with his collar. Begin by placing the collar strap in the middle of your dog’s neck. The receiver should be on the underside of his neck; however, on some dogs the receiver will naturally seek a slightly off‐center position. The Rubber Cover should face backwards, toward the dog’s chest.
Follow above wiring guidelines.
IMPORTANT: If you are experiencing any issues with collars beeping or vibrating randomly when they are not near the wire perimeter, this may be an interference issue caused by your perimeter setup and you need to add a resistor unit as per instructions below to rectify the situation: Make certain you are using Min 80m/262 Feet of wire in you Perimeter Boundary. If you have small perimeter, this may cause inference and cause collars to beep/vibrate randomly within the perimeter.
Make sure that you turn the knob up to Max or a higher setting when using the resistor. Fence System Training Guide Now it’s time to train your dog to live within the new boundaries that will be set for him/her. This fence is not a solid barrier so be patient, consistent, and remember that proper training on your part is what will make the installation of your DF113R Fence System successful. Please read this training section completely and thoroughly before beginning to train your pets.
process! Schedule: Start by training your dog for 10 to 15 minutes at a time. This will help him ease into the new situation. If he shows signs of stress, feel free to slow down the training schedule. Your pets must be completely comfortable near the Boundary Flags at the end of each training session. One way to accomplish this is by spending at least 5 minutes of playtime at the end of each training session near the boundary. Finish each training session on a positive note with lots of praise and play.
during training. Boundary Flag Awareness: Train your dog to learn that the Boundary Flags and warning beep from the Receiver Collar is what defines the Pet Area. Stay in the Pet Area: Train your dog to stay within the Pet Area. Help your dog notice that if your dog passes into the Static Correction Zone, he will receive a shock stimulation. Free walk your dog without the Receiver Collar in the defined ‘Safe Pet Area.

When the system is being used for containment purposes only, it is strongly recommended to switch the collar to Single Mode only to substantially increase the battery life of the collar.
Battery operating times can vary and are dependent on usage and estimated as follows:Dual Mode: 75-80 Hours Single Mode 10-12 Days Charging Both the transmitter and the receiver charge quite rapidly advisable to charge for 2 hours at a time and for 8‐10 hours before first use. Both can be charged at the same time and have a common adaptor.
keep far any heat source such as a fireplace or heater. Receiver Collar Charging When the charger is plugged in, you will notice the red Led indicates it’s charging. The green LED light will replace the red light when the Receiver Collar is fully charged, but always make sure you charge it for 2 hours at a time (8‐10 hours before first use) to make sure it is fully charged even if the light is showing green. The receiver’s red Led light will flash when the battery is low power.
Transmitter Charging When the Transmitter is plugged in, the LCD will display “CHA”. This means the device is charging. The LCD will display “FUL” when the transmitter is full charged. NOTE: When the Transmitter’s red light flashes, this means the battery is low and the device should be charged immediately. Troubleshooting Guide Problem#1: No stimulation when Remote Trainer button is pressed. The Receiver Collar has not been activated. Remember that the Receiver Collar must be turned on before use.
The batteries in either the Receiver Collar or the Remote Trainer are dead. Recharge or replace, as needed. Problem#2: The Beeper on Receiver Collar doesn’t make any sound when the power switch is turned on. The battery in the Receiver Collar has run down. Recharge it as needed for Min 2 hours. Problem#3: The stimulation doesn’t seem to be working very well. The Receiver Collar is not tight enough. Check to make sure the contact points are in constant contact with your dog’s skin.
Problem#4: The Receiver Collar light changes Colour to indicate low charge very quickly. The unit has been left turned on between training sessions. Make sure the receiver is turned off after each use. You are training in very cold weather. Move to Hawaii. Problem#5: The Remote Trainer doesn’t have range, or the range is significantly reduced. Your dog may be shielded by a metal structure. For best range, position the Receiver Collar so that the light face toward the dog’s nose.
area. Problem#6: The Receiver Collar doesn’t appear to be receiving any signal or doesn’t work at all. Check the Receiver Collar on/off button, make sure the Receiver Collar is turned on. Check the Remote Trainer battery, it’s power may be low. Recharge the Remote Trainer or charge the Receiver Collar if needed. Problem#7: The Receiver Collar has to literally be held on the top of Boundary Wire for it to activate. The batteries have may have run down. Make sure the batteries are well charged.
Adjust the Boundary Control Switch knob clockwise to increase the Boundary width. Problem#8: I have an inconsistent signal for the Receiver Collar. Make sure the Fence Transmitter is at least three feet from large metal objects or appliances. Make sure all Boundary Wire turns are gradual. Make sure the Boundary Wire is not running parallel to and within five feet of electrical wires, neighboring containment systems, telephone wires, television or antenna cables, or satellite dishes.
Problem#9: The Power Light and the Loop Indicator Lights are off. Make sure the both ends of the Boundary Wire are plugged into the Fence Transmitter Boundary Wire Terminals. Perform a Test. Use a short section of Boundary Wire to plug into both Fence Transmitter Boundary Wire Terminals. If the lights turn on, this means you have a break in your perimeter of boundary wire, if the lights still do not glow, you may have a faulty Fence Transmitter. Please Contact us.
