If your dog has run through the fence more than twice, his desire to get out is greater than his concern for the correction of the fence. To solve this break out problem you can either turn off the transmitter or take off his Dog Guard receiver collar. This will allow the dog to come back through the perimeter without getting shocked. Put the collar back on the dog once he’s inside his boundary.

If your dog acts like he doesn’t feel the correction it is for one of two reasons. Either his collar is too loose, or there is too much hair between the probes and his skin. In both cases he will not feel any correction. To remedy this, try adjusting the collar. If that doesn’t work, try trimming the fur directly beneath the probes.

If you have a dog that runs through the fence more than three times, call Alabama Dog Guard immediately. Adjustments may have to be made in either the receiver or the field. Please call your us before attempting to make any changes to your transmitter settings.
