Step-by-Step Guide- Adding a Collar to Your Petsafe Wireless Containment System

How to Add a Collar to PetSafe Wireless Containment System

Adding a collar to your PetSafe Wireless Containment System is a straightforward process that ensures your pet stays safe and within your desired boundaries. Whether you’re a new pet owner or looking to expand your containment system, this guide will walk you through the steps to add a collar with ease.

1. Choose the Right Collar

Before you begin, make sure you have the correct collar for your PetSafe Wireless Containment System. The collar should be compatible with your system’s model and specifications. Check the manual or contact PetSafe customer service if you’re unsure about compatibility.

2. Prepare the Collar

Once you have the collar, take it out of its packaging and ensure that all the batteries are installed correctly. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for battery installation and make sure the collar is fully charged before proceeding.

3. Pair the Collar with the System

To pair the collar with your PetSafe Wireless Containment System, follow these steps:

1. Turn on the collar by pressing the activation button.
2. Power on the containment system.
3. Wait for the system to establish a signal with the collar. This may take a few moments.
4. Once the collar is paired, a confirmation message will appear on the system’s control panel.

4. Customize the Collar Settings

After pairing the collar, you may want to customize the settings to suit your pet’s preferences. Adjust the collar’s sensitivity level, which determines how strong the correction will be when your pet enters the boundary area. You can also set the collar to beep or vibrate as a warning before the correction.

5. Test the Collar

Before letting your pet wear the collar, test it to ensure it’s functioning properly. Walk your pet around the perimeter of the containment area and observe the collar’s behavior. If the collar activates when it’s supposed to, it’s ready for use.

6. Fit the Collar on Your Pet

Now that the collar is paired and tested, it’s time to fit it on your pet. Ensure the collar is snug but not too tight. You should be able to fit two fingers between the collar and your pet’s neck. Attach the collar’s antenna and let your pet get used to wearing it.

7. Monitor Your Pet’s Activity

As your pet becomes accustomed to the collar, monitor their activity within the containment area. Keep an eye on their behavior and adjust the collar settings if necessary. Remember that training your pet to stay within the boundary area may take some time, so be patient and consistent.

By following these steps, you can easily add a collar to your PetSafe Wireless Containment System and provide a safe and secure environment for your pet. Always refer to the manufacturer’s manual for specific instructions and troubleshooting tips.
