• Not for use with aggressive dogs. Do not use this product if your dog is prone to aggressive
behaviour. Aggressive dogs can cause severe injury or death to their owners and others. If
you are not sure that this product is right for your dog, please talk to your veterinarian or a
certified trainer.
• Risk of electric shock. Use the Fence Transmitter indoors in dry location only.
• This PetSafe
® Stay + Play Wireless Fence ™ is NOT a solid barrier. The system is designed to
act as a deterrent to remind pets by Static Stimulation to remain in the boundary established.
It is important that you reinforce training with your pet on a regular basis. Since the tolerance
level to Static Stimulation varies from pet to pet, Radio Systems Corporation CANNOT
guarantee that the system will, in all cases, keep a pet within the established boundary.
Not all pets can be trained to avoid crossing the boundary! Therefore, if you have reason
to believe that your pet may pose a danger to others or harm himself if he is not kept from
crossing the boundaries, you should NOT rely solely upon the PetSafe
® Stay + Play Wireless
Fence ™ to confine your pet. Radio Systems Corporation shall NOT be liable for any property
damage, economic loss or any consequential damages, sustained as a result of any animal
crossing the boundary.
• Proper fit of the collar is important. A collar worn for too long or made too tight on the pet’s
neck may cause skin damage. Ranging from redness to pressure ulcers; this condition is
commonly known as bed sores.
- Avoid leaving the collar on the dog for more than 12 hours per day.
- When possible reposition the collar on the pet’s neck every 1 to 2 hours.
- Check the fit to prevent excessive pressure; follow the instructions in this manual.
- Never connect a lead to the electronic collar; it will cause excessive pressure on the contacts.
- When using a separate collar for a lead, don’t put pressure on the electronic collar.
- Wash the dog’s neck area and the contacts of the collar weekly with a damp cloth.
- Examine the contact area daily for signs of a rash or a sore.
- If a rash or sore is found, discontinue use of the collar until the skin has healed.
- If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.
