Pet Containment and Dog Containment Systems 101
1. Choose a Pet Containment System for your Dog.
Start by choosing a dog containment system that is appropriate for your pet. The system acts like a virtual fence, warning your dog with a beep when they are getting too close to their boundaries and giving them a correction if they keep proceeding. For a guide to all the major pet containment systems, including Innotek, and PetSafe look at our reviews.
2. Install the Dog Containment System
Next, install the pet containment. This involves laying a loop of boundary wire around the perimeter of the property to mark the boundary line. Some people will bury the wire, others will staple it to the ground, or ziptie the wire to a fence.
3. Train your Dog on the Containment System
Lastly, train the dog to use the containment system. You will follow a series of exercises that will teach your dog about the new boundary rules, and the consequences for breaking the rules. Then you will test the dog to make sure they objey the containment system rules even when temptations appear.

Hi, I have a “Pet Stop” brand, right now, One of my dog lost there collar, I still have the dog, just no collar. “Pet Stop” brand collars are WAY to expensive! What do I do? Can I buy a different contanment system and use the wire that is already in the ground? Or do you have a better idea? Thank You Stace
Hi Stace,
We have two options for you. (1) Get a whole new system, you can use the wire that is already in the ground. Just switch out the PetStop base station for your new base station. (2) Get a second hand Pet Stop brand collar on eBay. People often put up old collars for auction. Pet Stop is a little harder to find, but finding Invisible Fence collars is pretty common.
