System Overview of The Dog Guard® System
Dog Guard® Out-of-Sight Fencing is a safe, affordable alternative to traditional pet fences, and uses a veterinarian-approved combination of animal training and state-of-the art electronics to safely train your pet where it can and cannot go.
Transmitters
Dog Guard® offers three different types of Transmitters that are designed for Outdoor and Indoor use.
The T-4 transmitter features user friendly
lights and audible sounds to let you know that the transmitter
is working properly and when there is a problem with the signal
field.
- When the T-4 transmitter is set in the encoded mode, an ID code makes the system immune to all interference from stray signals and provides “DUAL ZONES”, in the signal field. The dual zone establishes two signal fields. In the first signal field, the pet receives a warning level stimulus that has been preset on the front of the T-4 transmitter. Its purpose is to warn the pet to turn back. Should the pet enter the second signal field, the receiver will automatically increase to a stronger stimulus.
- settings to accommodate side by side installations and can be used on any size yard up to 50 acres.
- The T-4 transmitter has a LIFE TIME warranty.
The GREEN POWER LIGHT is on all the time when the system is powered.
The RED LOOP LIGHT is on when the loop is intact. If there is a line break, the light will go off and an audible alarm will sound from inside the T-4 transmitter.
The YELLOW FAULT LIGHT comes on if the T-4 transmitter takes a power surge or lightning hit and an audible alarm will sound from inside the T-4 transmitter.
- The CORRECTION LEVEL ADJUSTMENT works only in the encoded mode. There are 32 LEVELS OF STIMULATION TO CHOOSE FROM. This will set the amount of stimulation the pet will receive in the first
signal field.
TS-5 Outside Transmitter
TS-5 Features
The TS-5 transmitter is a smaller/low-powered transmitter for homes with an acre or less of yard space. It features a user friendly light and audible sound to let you know that the transmitter is working properly or if there is a problem with the signal field.

The TS-5 transmitter can be used in conjunction with the T-4 transmitter to create multi-inside or outside loops. This will keep your pet from designated areas in the home or yard. Should one of the TS-5 designated loops be broken, the outside perimeter loop will stay on because the loops are on separate circuits.
- The TS-5 transmitter has a LIFE TIME warranty.
- The RANGE CONTROL adjuster is recessed to prevent unwanted tampering. The field range can be easily adjusted by using a small screwdriver
