Does the boundary wire have to be placed in the ground? My pup is a digger so I was thinking to secure it along the bottom of my fence?

We attached ours to an existing fence over a year ago and it is still working perfect!

We used a staple gun and secured it to the lower part of our fence. Works great!

No, I used garden spikes to hold it on top of the ground and the grass grew over it. The lawn mower didn't affect it either. Sure saved quite a bit of work installing it. I've had our fence for almost 3 years and its wonderful!

No, you don't have to secure it to the ground. It's very sturdy. 2 women can easily move it over to mow underneath. Hope this helps.

Thank you for your question! We recommend to install the wire 1-3 inches into your ground (6-7 inches if you regularly aerate your yard). You can install this system a few feet if needed, but please know that it will be necessary to increase your boundary width to accommodate the depth.

I don't think the wire anchors would hold it in place in sand. They need to go into firm ground.

Yes, it would definetly work for that situation, and really you wouldn't have to put it into the ground if you didn't want too. It states in the manual that the fence can be applied above ground, but either way you wouldn't have to worry about that doggie getting out anymore. My dogs will go no where near the boundry line.

Rain will not short out the electric fence nor the connectors. The fence controller must itself be kept dry as it is not waterproof. I mounted mine on a piece of wood driven into the ground and a five gallon bucket turned upside down over it. The wire is in the rain, right? So why are your worried about the connectors? Yes, the controller will stop pigs but with the wool so thick on sheep I couldn't answer that.

Yes, there are tools to splice the lawn to help bury the wire. I have a Lab/Brittany who digs under our fence so I just ran the wire through the fence.

You need a physical barrier such as a fence or railroad tie. The other models can be contained with a perimeter wire, but not this one.

I'm sorry, it's been too long for me to remember. But I don't see why not-----. However, Mine was too tall for the fence I wanted it against, so I dug holes and buried it to the bottom "rung". This might work for you.

a single wire isn't going to keep the critters out. For my application I had a wire fence 36 inches high with the 'hot' wire suspended on insulating supports about 4 inches above the fence to stop them from climbing over. Yes the device requires a grounding post off one of the terminals and the wire runs off the other terminal around the fence and stops before being attached to the device again. The batteries don't last more than a month and If I were doing it again I would have gotten a solar powered device.

The wires that I installed were almost all above ground on a fence, with the exception of running the wires underground by the various gates in the fence around my backyard. So, im not really sure how to, process of elimination I guess?

You can run it on 2 sides and use one trench for the return:-). The return line will need to be twisted as described in the instructions. The area you wish to keep the dog from crossing will have the returning wire at least 5 feet apart so you will have 2 trenches. I just put the wires on the ground until I install the fence. The dog will see the flags and know not to cross them. Just take your time training the pup but he/she will get it real fast. For a small dog turn the power to 2.

I would not bury this directly in the ground, needs to be put into electrical PVC conduit. Or the wire will degrade if installed directly in the dirt,and stop working

It's a long piece, rolled into a cylinder, and the wire is not very stiff, so you may have trouble sticking it into hard soil. I ended up buying a few of the "Origin Point 052410 Gard'n Border Round Folding Fence", which is a stiffer wire and divided into several pieces.

You can add it to a fence. You would have to double up on the pet fence and run a second path back to where it started. Here's the manual. Look at page 10. http://www.petsafe.net/getattachment/e9a1b9a2-f19a-4c2c-a7c3-da71e27b5bed/PRF-3004W-In-Ground-Fence-Manual.pdf

This system requires a wire to be placed in the area where you want your dog to stay.

It's easy. I put a perimeter wire around my shed to keep groundhogs from tunneling under. I attached the unit to an outside wall then ran a wire around the shed using insulators, sold separately, then attached the negative wire to a two foot piece of rebar hammered into the ground next to the unit. The instructions that come with the unit are good. So far it's working, no groundhogs are bothering my shed.
