against power line surges. The LP-4100 is available by contacting Customer Care.

fREQUENTLy ASKED QUESTIONS
Will the SDF-100A work in my yard? Yes. This system works in yards up to 100 acres with the purchase of additional
wire and flag kits (SDF-WF). This system includes 1,000 feet of wire and 100
boundary flags. Please refer to the wire chart on page 10 for more information.
Is my dog too big (or little)? The SportDOG Brand ® In-Ground Fence System has been proven safe and
effective for dogs over 10 pounds. The adjustable collar and Stimulation levels
allow you to create a perfect solution for your dog.
Can my children get hurt? NO. The mild correction is produced by the Contact Points on the Collar Receiver,
not the Boundary Wire. With proper use, the system is safe for all.
I have a small dog and a large dog; will this
work for me?
YES. Since the SportDOG Brand In-Ground Fence System provides just the right
amount of adjustable stimulation within each dog’s collar, it is safe and effective
for all the dogs in your family over 10 pounds. The kit includes one collar; additional
collars are sold separately (SDF-R Add-A-Dog ® ).
Is this complicated? No. This operating and training guide will walk you through every step.
Can I use the system with an existing fence? YES. The system can be used with an existing fence if you have a problem with a
dog digging or jumping over a traditional fence.
How often will my dog receive a correction? When trained properly, most dogs will only receive a few corrections during
normal usage.
How old does my dog have to be before starting
to train on the In-Ground system?
Because all dogs are different, training on the SportDOG Brand In-Ground Fence
System can be started once your dog can learn basic obedience commands like
“sit” and “stay.”
Can I twist one wire to make a gate or safe area
that my dog can cross?
No. The wires need to meet in order to cancel out the signal (See 3A page 9).
Does the Range Adjuster knob tell me how wide
my Boundary Width will be?
Every yard is different. You will have to use the Collar Receiver to find the Boundary
Width. Refer to Step 6 on pages 13-14.
Can I use the SDF-100A with more than one
dog?
Yes. Any number of dogs can be added to the system with the purchase of SDF-R
Add-A-Dog Collar Receivers.
Are there other collars besides the SDF-R that
are compatible with my SDF-100A system?
Yes, the PetSafe ® In-Ground Fence Extra Reciever Collars will work with this
system. They include the PUL-250 UltraLight, the PUL-275 Deluxe UltraLight, the
PRF-275-11 Stubborn Dog and the PIG00-10778 Little Dog.
Why is my SDF-100A Transmitter beeping? You have a break in your Boundary Wire. Refer to “TO LOCATE A BREAK IN THE
BOUNDARY WIRE” section on page 24 for more information.
Why is it suggested to preform a Short Loop
Test?
A Short Loop Test is a simple test to determine if each component (Fence
Transmitter, Collar Receiver and Boundary Wire) is functioning properly. Follow the
steps outlined on page 23.
