Things to Keep in Mind When Setting up Your Fence

  • You must have a minimum of 4 fence posts and a maximum of 32 fence posts for a fence boundary. Keep your boundary simple! Make sure to have as few fence posts as possible. For example, for each straight line on your boundary, keep it to 2 fence posts, the starting post and the end post. Excessive posts may lead to issues with the location of the boundary.

  • Digital fence posts must be placed at least 25 feet per story away from any structure. For example, to create a boundary that encloses a one-story detached garage and a two-story house, you would need to place digital fence posts at least 25 feet away from the garage and at least 50 feet away from the house.
  • Opposing lines of digital fence posts must be at least 35 feet away from one another, to avoid creating areas too narrow for your dog to pass through without being corrected.
  • Whenever possible, place digital fence posts in areas with a clear view of the sky. This allows the collar to receive GPS data more quickly.
  • If your dog is allowed in the house or garage, the boundary must surround the house or garage.
  • To ensure your pet’s safety, place all digital fence posts at least 25 feet away from any roads or other dangerous areas.
  • If a physical fence exists along the desired boundary, place the digital fence posts at least 10 feet outside of the physical fence. This allows your dog the most usable area inside the physical fence.
