There are 3 parts to a In-ground Pet Fencing system:

1. The Transmitter: This plugs into a standard outlet and emits a radio signal.
2. The Wire: Waterproof wire that you bury and connect to the transmitter that makes a boundary to contain your dog.
3. The Collar Receiver: The receiver is worn on your dog’s collar. The transmitter emits a radio signal that travels through the wire. The receiver on your dog’s collar picks up the radio signal and alerts the dog as he nears the boundary (buried wire). If the dog continues toward the boundary wire, he will receive a correction from the radio signal.

No, the system will operate properly above ground although Innotek® recommends that the wire be buried approximately 3 inches to prevent damage to the wire.

Yes, additional collar receivers can be purchased separately. Innotek’s® pet containment systems are designed to use an unlimited number of collar receivers.

Yes, Innotek® has Contain N Train Systems to fit your needs. The SD-3000 and SD-3100 come with a hand held transmitter that communicates with the same collar receiver that your dog wears for containment.

Yes. Innotek® has introduced the new ZONES Instant Pet Proofing Barrier. Simply place the transmitter in the area that you would like the dog to avoid. As the dog approaches the transmitter the dog’s collar receiver picks up a signal and produces a warning tone, if the dog continues toward the transmitter, he will receive a correction.
