If you have a temperamental dog, then the SDF-100 is what you need for it. It doesn’t matter if your dog is hard to train since the SDF-100 has shown results with the most stubborn of dogs.
Principle of Operation
The fence transmitter unit, which is plugged into the wire socket, emits radio waves that extend to the far end of the preset boundary, which is set via the wire looping. Then, the dog has to be trained to get accostumed to the safe zone with the help of the training flags included in the set, so that it can have a visual aid of the location of the boundaries. The receiver collar fastened to his neck admonishes him with a sound when he approaches the far end of the safe zone. If the dog tries to leave the boundary limit, then the collar will administer static shocks in increasing intensity in order to discourage it from trying again to leave the area.
The system provides a collar that is resistant to water and can be worn in any type of weather: it works with a 9 volt battery that has to be replaced about every 9 months. The Sportdog’s SDF-100 includes a DVD that will teach you how to use the system to train your dog and keep it inside your house.
Other Feature Offerings
One of the best features of the Sportdog’s in ground fence is the anti-linger mechanism that it includes and that prevents your pet from wandering off and going away even after the batteries have run out of power. Also, the correction received by your dog can be adjusted to match its temperament, which comes handy when dealing with very stubborn dogs. Other features that are worth mentioning are the indicator of battery level and the collar that can be adjusted to almost any size of dog’s neck.
The collar that comes with the SDF-100 can be used on dogs that weight at least 4 kilograms and a half. Toy dogs and small breeds should use other types of collar. The SDF-100 unit comes with a 1000 feet boundary wire and 100 training flags which can be further extended to a maximum of 100 acres of boundary area using extra wires and training flags. Additional collars when used with SDF-100 can aid the pet owner further in containing multiple pets within predefined boundaries.
The SDF-100 is the perfect solution for owners of dogs that are too temperamental. The system gives correction to dogs in doses that match the animal’s temperament. You can also expand the Sportdog’s SDF-100 if you want, by purchasing additional wire.
