SDF-100, Effective Underground Fence System for Temperamental Dogs
The SDF-100 is the perfect solution for dogs of any temperament. Irrespective of whether the pet is stubborn or irresolute, the Sportdog SDF-100 can free the pet owners from the hassle of pet containment with ease.
How It Works
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. The pet is trained to the presence of the predefined safe zone using the training flags for visual aid for the first couple of weeks.
The receiver collar fastened to his neck admonishes him with a sound when he approaches the far end of the safe zone. When the pet tries to cross the boundary limit, progressive static electric pulses are offered which in turn educate him to be contained within the preset area in the long run.
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 Features
One of the remarkable features of this Sportdog in ground fence is the anti-linger mechanism that prevents the dog from wandering around the warning zone when the battery reaches exhaustion. The progressive correction that can be adjusted based on the temperament of the dog is yet another noteworthy offering. The low battery indicator, the loop indicant and the adjustable collar are additional features that have proven to be futile.
The collar that comes with the SDF-100 can be used on dogs that weight at least 4 kilograms and a half. It’s not recommended for small breeds. The SDF-100 set includes 1000 feet of boundary wire and 100 training flags. In addition, you can buy additional collars if you have more than one dog.
If you have a dog that has a strong character, then you need the SDF-100. The system gives correction to dogs in doses that match the animal’s temperament. You can buy extra wire to give the Sportdog’s SDF-100 a larger area of coverage.
