The SDF-100 is the perfect solution for dogs of any temperament. 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 transmitter units emits radio waves, which extend to the end of the boundaries decided by the installer. 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. If the dog apporaches the invisible fence, then its collar will emit a warning sound indicating that the animal is too close to it. If the dog disregards the warning sound and tries to cross the boundaries, the collar it wears will deliver static shocks in increasing intensity in order to train it to stay within the area assigned to the animal.
The collar provided with the system is water proof and can resist any type of weather; it also works with a 9 volts battery that has to be replaced every 6 to 12 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.
