The caps on the wires and the box gave it away...lol. Most of us would of used black tape and mounted the fence charger under a rubber flap we cut from a inner tube....LMAO.
@@AustinStory Thanks for the question. Maybe I should do a one tear review video. The system has worked great. The male german shepherd uses more collar batteries then the female. He must be testing the fence more often. No issues with the controller even in the freezing winter. No issues with the wire in the ground.
I just purchased this same system for my blue heeler/USD mix, and I'm glad your video came up 1st in my search for installation instructions. Your clear and precise instructions make me feel confident that I can install my new fence around my 1 acre yard with no problems. I, my neighbors, and the people who drive by my house like they're in a NASCAR race thank you very much! 😁
Hi there! Great video! Do you think this will work for just one side of a fence? I just need help with one side of the fence because my dog keeps escaping. Thanks!
Great question. If you go to their web page. www.extremedogfence.com/owners-manual-download/ Look at page 9 of the Basic Manual. If your fence is at least 4 feet tall. You can run it out on the top of the fence and back at the bottom of the fence. Making a single-side installation. Thanks for reaching out!
This might sound like a dumb question, but does the wire need to run in a loop? I need one for my backyard and only want 3 sides of the house to be wired; back fence, left side fence, right side fence (to keep my dogs from tearing down the fencing). I don't want to run a complete circle because it would keep them from coming into the house... Can I simply run it from the box along the three fences without looping back?
Not at all Lowell. Thanks for the question. The wire run needs to be a loop, but you can achieve what you want to do. Go to the link and look at the user manual. Page 8, in the user manual, shows how to do the backyard only. Basically you run the loop back along itself. You just need to keep the wire 3 to 4 feet apart. Any closer and it will cancel the signal out like a twisted pair. Another option would be to bury the wire along the 3 sides and then run the loop back with the wire tied to the top of the fence. As long as your fence is 4 feet tall. I kind of like this idea. Please let me know if this help. Thanks for reaching out! www.extremedogfence.com/owners-manual-download/
Great question. The dog will feel the same correct on both sides, inside or out. Basically, the wire is emitting signal around the wire that you set with the controller. Could be 3 feet, could be 10 feet. I have mine set for 3 feet so I can have my dogs in the truck with the collars on and not get a signal. I can forget to remove the collars and do not what them to get shocked. I hope this answers your question. There is a beep before the shock, and it has worked very well for me.
Do you think the digital transmitter can be installed outside like you did if you have long cold winters? From upstate New York and worried the winters could affect the transmitter. Thanks
Great question! We have cold temps in Minnesota with our share of minus temps. Mine has been installed for one winter and there have been no issues. The transmitter does beep if the field wiring gets broken. I walk pass my installation location every day and will here that beep. This may be the reason they want it installed indoors do you can hear the alarm. We have been very happy with this equipment. Thanks for reaching out.
@@BeltedGallowayHomestead thanks for the info. One more question, did you put in anything to protect the connections from water? I know it’s supposed to be buried. Or was it okay the wire nuts and those yellow caps? Thanks
@@matthewcoleman2675 sorry for the delay, I was doing some traveling. At the 10:00 mark in this video you will see me install the grease filled protectors over the wire nut connections. I have not had any issues with the connections. The system as a whole has worked great! Thanks for the great questions.
Thanks for the great question! I did cross a gravel driveway. I found that an edger was not heavy enough for the entire job, including the grass section. I rented a Wiremaster lightweight mini-trencher and it worked great for the job. It even cut the trench across the gravel driveway. I even called the company to make sure the wire could handle the gravel and they assured me it could. I hope this helps.
I have another dumb question: I was thinking about putting it under pine trees that border the yard. Does it have to be buried underground? For example if I keep it above ground and put mulch on top?
No dumb questions here. Yes, you can do this. Hold the wire down with the large staples that I use in the trench. Mulch over top. Just remember that the wire is there. Thanks for the question.
@@carryoutbowl7165 my shepherds are doing very well with the inground fence. We had wild turkeys in the yard this morning and they went to the border of the fence and just watched.
@@carryoutbowl7165 I have had no issues what so ever. Some growing "pains " for the boys but doing well. Setting the correct frequency was my only challenge so they didn't get zapped 10 feet from the wire
Hello, yes you can. Here is a link to this idea. Page 9 shows it attached to an existing fence. Thanks for the question! www.extremedogfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/extreme-dog-fence-user-manual.pdf
Thanks for the question. No I have not. The last item I purchased batteries they were $9.95. There was a video out there where someone was stacking batteries. I compared the price and did not see much benefit. I did take the shrink wrap off an old battery and found two 3 volt CR-1/3N stacked in series. These looked to have more potential but have not tried them yet. Thanks again.
@@BeltedGallowayHomestead @vrom13 I was on the fence about purchasing this system due to the proprietary batteries until I found this amazing hack. I will now purchase. ruclips.net/video/VY_cOo3stG4/видео.html
@@pegohern thanks for the video link. Please note for this system, I did take the shrink wrap off an old battery and found two 3 volt CR-1/3N stacked in series. You will need 2 batteries per collar.
So what were the 3 end points spliced together for? I thought it looped from control panel around in a circle or whatever shape then back to the transmitter. The twisted pair going up to the box is for what to allow them to cross at a certain point?
Thanks for the question! I do not understand the "3 end points spliced together" reference. Please reference the time mark in the video if this does not answer the question. The yellow wire in the perimeter (fence) wire. The black and brown wires are the twisted pair that goes back to the controller. The twisting of the wires cancels out the signal and allows the dogs to cross along the entire length of twisted wire. I hope this answers your question. If not, please provide reference time in video.
@@BeltedGallowayHomestead So at around 8 minutes you show where there are 2 yellow wires stripped on each, was this just one wire that was part of the perimeter loop that was cut into so you could splice the brown and black twisted wire to each side so something can cross? I do not quite understand.
@@chriscrystalhood6260 yes, you are correct. Yellow wire is the loop that is the containment fence. The brown and black twisted pair crosses the yard to the control panel. Twisting the wires cancels the signal to the collars so the dogs can cross with no correction. The wire leaving the control panel (say the black one) connects to one end of the yellow wire. The brown wire connects to the other end of the yellow wire and goes back to the control panel. The wire run needs to be in series. Parallel loops with not function. Thanks for reaching out. Hope this helps!
Dose it keep them in yard I have had many problems with them fence and my German shepherds are big they run though them and the last one ran through it and got hit
Thanks for the question. No. The male will test it, but it keeps them in. He even will yep when it corrects him. Sorry you lost a shepherd, that is horrible.
@@BeltedGallowayHomestead how did you go about setting up the power supply for the unit, close to the end of the video when you were showing farmers panel
@@augerlittle6204 The black extension cord that is coiled up with a zip tie at the bottom of the box, runs out the bottom of the gray box and plugs into an outlet on the other side of the farmers panel. That 120 volt outlet was already there. The white power module and square black transformer comes in the fence kit. You will need a 120 volt outlet where you are installing the control panel. Hope this helps. Thanks for the question!
It is impossible to train a dog reliably to never leave the "fenced" area. Eventually there will be enough of a distraction to override any training. Also other animals can freely enter the area...
My dogs do very well with this system. In fact, my female may not even need to wear her collar anymore. The male on the other hand can go a day without his collar but does test the limits. He would eventually cross the line. Currently, my dogs will chase little critters out of the yard and stop at the wire (fence). Very reliable in my experience. Thanks for the comments!
I own 4 pit bulls, I trained one to jump into her kennel 3 foot off the floor. She does it smooth and easy. One side of my yard is 4ft chain-link fence....she has NEVER jumped it, and never will.
The inground dog fence is working great and gave the shepherds the run of the homestead.
Great work, did you use to be a electrician or something?
Interesting that you should notice this. I was an industrial electrician in a previous life. I do enjoy that kind of work and projects.
The caps on the wires and the box gave it away...lol. Most of us would of used black tape and mounted the fence charger under a rubber flap we cut from a inner tube....LMAO.

How much do your dogs weigh approximately? And thank you 😊
The female is just over 100 pounds. The male is just under 100 pounds. Thanks for reaching out!
If the dog freaks out and runs across the fence to the opposite side, can they return inside the fence on their own without the shock?
