How the System Works
The DFS-DTC 1200V COMBO dog fence system combines the functions of the in
ground fence system and remote dog training system. It has been proven to be safe,
comfortable and effective for all dogs over 5kg.
The fence system works by producing a radio signal from the fence transmitter
through the boundary wire. The boundary wire can be buried or attached to a fixed
object such as an existing fence wire. You can temporarily define the safe area for
your dog by using the boundary flags as a visual training aid whilst training your dog.
Your dog wears a receiver/collar with contact prongs that touch his neck and once
trained, is allowed to roam freely within the boundary area you have set. As your
dog approaches the limits of the boundary area he will reach the warning zone, the
receiver collar will give warning beeps. If your dog continues into the correction zone,
a safe vibration and static correction will be delivered through the contact prong to
get his attention and deter him to moving further forwards. This will stop as soon as
he returns to the safe area within the boundary limit.
The remote dog training aspect of the system assists you in controlling your dog
without a leash over a long distance range such as the park or beach. At the push
of a button the remote transmitter sends a signal activating the receiver collar. If
using the remote trainer consistently and correctly, many bad habits that your dog
exhibits can be corrected or any basic obedience commands can be taught.
Important: The Remote Trainer’s actual operating distance depends upon the way
you hold the Remote Transmitter. Hold the Remote Transmitter in a horizontal
position away from your body to achieve optimum range. Terrain, weather,
vegetation and buildings in the line of sight will affect the range of your Remote
Trainer.

Setting Up In Ground Fence System
Step 1 Placing the Fence Transmitter
In a dry, well ventilated protected area (1A).
In an area where temperatures do not fall below freezing (e.g. garage, basement,
shed, closet).
Secured to a stationary surface using appropriate mounting hardware (not
included).
At least 1m from large metal objects or appliances as these items may interfere
with the signal consistency (1C).
Once you have mounted the Fence Transmitter, the Boundary Wire must exit the
building. This can be accomplished via a window or through a 4mm hole drilled
through the wall. Ensure the drill path is clear of any utilities. Make sure the
Boundary wire is not cut off or pinched by a window, door or garage door as this can
damage it over time.
To prevent fires and electrical hazards, install the Fence Transmitter in buildings that
are in accordance with state and local electrical codes.
Lay Out the System
Step 2 Basic Planning Tips
The Boundary
Wire MUST start
at the Fence
Transmitter and
make a
continuous loop
back to it. (2A).
Design a layout
that is suitable for
your yard.
Sample layouts
- 11 -
are provided in this section.
Always use gradual turns at the corners to produce a more consistent boundary
(2B). Do not use sharp turns, as this will cause gaps in your boundary.
Avoid making passageways too narrow for your dog to move about freely, (e.g.
along the sides of a house).
The Receiver Collar can be activated inside the house if the Boundary Wire runs
along the outside wall of the house. If this occurs, remove your dog’s Receiver
Collar before bringing him inside, decrease the range using the Boundary Width
Control or consider an alternative layout.
Please Note: Spurious signals from some household appliances can also activate
the collar so it is recommended that the collar be removed when you dog is
inside the house.
Sample Layouts
Sample 1: Perimeter Loop (Single Loop)
The Perimeter Loop is the most
common layout. This will allow
your dog to freely and safely roam
your entire property (2C). It can
also protect gardens, pools and
landscaping (2D).
Sample 2: (2E) Perimeter Loop Using Existing Fence (Single Loop)
This layout allows you to include your existing fence as part of
your layout and keep your dog from jumping out or digging
under your existing fence. It reduces the amount of wire which
will need to be buried.
From the Fence Transmitter, run the wire to A, A to B, B to C, C
to D, D to E, E to A, twist the wires from A back to the Fence
Transmitter. See the “Install the Boundary Wire”, section for
more information on attaching the wire to a fence.
- 12 -
Double Loop
A Double Loop must be used when you are not establishing the Boundary Zone on all
sides of your property.
When using a Double Loop, the Boundary Wire must be
separated by a minimum of one to one and a half meter to
avoid cancelling the signal. Remember that a Double Loop
will require twice as much wire.
Yard Only (Double Loop)
From the Fence Transmitter, run the wire to A, A to B, B to C, C to D, D to E, E to F,
make a U-turn and follow your path all the way back to A, keeping the wire separated
1.5 to 2 metres. Twist the wire from A back to the Fence Transmitter.
Sample 3 (2F): Front or Back
Sample 4 (2G): Front Boundary Only (Double Loop)
From the Fence Transmitter, run the wire to A, A to B,
B back to A keeping the wire separated 1 to 1.5
metres. Twist the wire from A back to the Fence
Transmitter.
Sample 5 (2H): Lake Access (Double Loop)
From the Fence Transmitter, run the wire to A, A to B
make a U-turn and go to C, C to D, D to E, make a
U-turn and follow your path all the way back to A
keeping wire separated 1.5 to 2 metres. Twist the wire
from A back to the Fence Transmitter.
- 13 -
Sample 6 (2J): Wire Loop Attached to Existing Fence (Double Loop)
This layout allows you to include your existing
fence as part of your layout and keep your dog
from jumping out or digging under your existing
fence. It reduces the amount of wire which will
need to be buried. Run the wire from the Fence
Transmitter to A, A to B, B to C, C to D, D to E,E to
F, make a U-turn and follow your path all the way
back to A, keeping the wire separated 1 to 1.5
metres. Twist the wire from A back to the Fence
Transmitter.
See the “Install the Boundary Wire” section for more information on attaching the
wire to a fence.
Position the Boundary Wire
Step 3
Lay out the Boundary Wire using your proposed boundary and test the system
BEFORE burying the wire or attaching it to an existing fence. This will make any
layout changes easier.
Running the Boundary Wire parallel to and within 1.5 metres of electrical wires,
neighbouring containment systems, telephone wires, television or antenna cables, or
satellite dishes will cause an inconsistent signal. If you must cross any of these, do
so at 90° angles (perpendicularly).
To Twist the Boundary Wire (3A)
Twisting the Boundary Wire cancels
the signal and allows your dog to
cross over that area safely. Plastic
or metal piping will not cancel the
signal. Twist the Boundary Wire 8
to 10 times per foot to cancel the
signal.
- 14 -
To Splice or Repair the Boundary Wire (3B)
If you need additional Boundary wire to expand your wire loop, you will need to
splice the wires together. Note the locations of all splices for future reference.
Most Boundary Wire breaks occur at splices.
Strip approximately one-half inch of insulation off the ends of the Boundary wires to
be spliced. Make sure the copper Boundary Wire is not corroded. If the Boundary
Wire is corroded, cut it back to expose clean copper wire. Insert the stripped ends
into the wire nut and twist the wire nut around the wires. Pull on the wires to make
sure you have a strong splice connection. Apply waterproofing compound (e.g.
silicone caulk) in and around the wire nut or wrap the wires and the wire nuts with
electrical tape to prevent moisture from corroding the copper. If your splice pulls
loose, the entire system will fail. Make sure your splice is secure.
If MGG waterproof connectors are used please follow the instructions included
with them.
Additional Boundary Wire
We recommend the use of MGG’s genuine UV inhibitor treated Wire as supplied with
this MGG Maxi and Combi Systems for direct burial or attachment to an existing
fence. Extra MGG Boundary Wire can be purchased at www.mggproducts.co.nz If
you have any questions about your installation please call us for advice on our free
phone 0800 449 669. We are here to help.
Note: When adding Boundary Wire, it must still act as a continuous loop and
waterproof connectors must be used. For installations of up to 500m MGG’s 1.6mm
wire is good but for systems over 500m , please use MGG’s lower resistance 2mm
wire.
See below for the approximate length of Boundary Wire needed for a rectangular
single loop layout. Length will vary due to the amount of twisted wire and shape of
layout used.
Wire Needed (approx):
Quarter Acre: 130m. Third acre: 150m. Half acre: 185m. 1 acre: 260m. 2 acres: 370m.
5 acres: 580m. 10 acres: 880m
Connect the Wires to the Fence Transmitter
- 15 -
Step 4 Boundary Wire
1. Run the Boundary Wire to the Fence Transmitter through a window, under a door,
through a crawl space vent, or any other appropriate available access. You can
also drill a hole through your wall.
2. Strip the ends of the Boundary Wire approximately 1cm.
3. Insert the Boundary Wires into the Boundary Wire Terminals on the Fence
Transmitter.
4. Turn the Boundary Width Control knob to 10. This will set the Warning Zone at
the maximum width. Do not turn up high without wire connected as this will
damage the transmitter.
5. Plug the Power Adapter into the Power Jack and a 240 volt outlet.
6. The Power Light and Loop Indicator Lights should come on. If this does not
happen, see the “Troubleshooting” section.
Set the Boundary Width and Test the Receiver Collar
Use the Boundary Width Control knob to set the width of the Warning Zone and
static correction zone (6B). Set the Boundary Width as wide as possible to give your
dog the widest Warning and Static Correction Zones without reducing the Dog Area
too much. At least 2m is recommended.
Note: The Boundary Width Control knob does not change the Static Correction
level.
- 16 -
To identify the Warning and Static Correction Zones, make sure the Receiver Collar is
properly charged and the Test Light is attached to the collar Contact Points. Walk
toward the Boundary Wire with Contact Points pointing up and holding the Receiver
Collar at your dog’s neck level (6E) until the Receiver Collar beeps (6F).
If the Receiver Collar does not beep at the desired range adjust the Boundary Width
Control to the desired setting. Repeat this procedure as needed until the Receiver
Collar beeps at the desired distance from the Boundary Wire.
If using a Double Loop, you may need to increase the separation distance of the
Boundary Wire to achieve the desired range.
The Receiver Collar beeps as a warning tone and ticks when delivering a Static
Correction. After hearing the beep, continue to walk towards the wire. The
Receiver Collar should tick and the Test Light should flash, indicating the Static
Correction as you enter the Static Correction Zone (6G). A warning beep and the
flashing of the Test light indicate that the Receiver Collar and the system are working
properly and that you are ready to start burying the Boundary Wire or attaching iot
to an existing fence. If the Receiver Collar did not beep or the Test Light did not
flash, refer to the “Troubleshooting” section.
Important: Remove the Test Light before placing the Receiver Collar on your dog.
Note: The Boundary Width is broken into 20% Warning Zone and 80% Static
Correction Zone.
Install the Boundary Wire
Step 7 To Bury the Boundary Wire
Burying the Boundary Wire is recommended to protect it when it cannot be attached
to an existing fence
- 17 -
1. Cut a trench 2 to 6cm deep along your planned boundary.
2. Place the Boundary Wire carefully into the trench maintaining some slack to
allow it to expand and contract with temperature variations.
3. Use a blunt tool such as a wooden spatula to push the Boundary Wire into the
trench. Be careful not to damage the Boundary Wire.
To attach the Boundary Wire to an existing fence
The Boundary Wire of the MGG DFS-DTC 1200V COMBO Combo dog trainer and
fencing system can be attached to a chain link or wire fence, split rail fence, or a
wooden privacy fence. The Boundary Wire can be attached as high as needed.
However, make sure the Boundary Width is set at a high enough range for the dog to
receive the signal. If using a Double Loop with an existing fence at least 1 metre tall,
run the Boundary Wire on top of the fence and return it on the bottom of the fence
to get the 1 to 1.5 metre separation needed. Cable ties are ideal.
Chain Link Fence (7A): Weave Boundary Wire through the links or use plastic
quick ties.
Wooden Split Rail or Privacy Fence (7A): Use staples to attach Boundary Wire.
Avoid puncturing the insulation of the Boundary Wire.
Double Loop with an Existing Fence: Run Boundary Wire on top of the fence
and return it on the bottom of the fence to get the 1 to 1.5m separation needed.
Gate (Single Loop) (7B) Bury the Boundary Wire in the ground across the gate
opening.
- 18 -
Note: The signal is still active across the gate and your dog cannot pass through.
Gate (Double Loop) (7B): Bury both Boundary Wires across the gate
opening while keeping them 1 to 1.5 metres apart.
To Cross Hard Surfaces(driveways, sidewalks, etc.)
Concrete Driveway or Sidewalk (7D): Place the Boundary Wire in a convenient
expansion joint or create a groove using a circular saw and masonry blade.
Place the Boundary Wire in the groove and cover with an appropriate patching
compound. (a bead of silicone is ideal) For best results, brush away dirt or other
debris before patching. Or put through a hose.
Gravel or Dirt Driveway (7E): Place the Boundary Wire in a PVC pipe or water
hose to protect the Boundary Wire before burying.
- 19 -
Place the Boundary Flags
Step 8
During training the Boundary Flags are
visual reminders for your dog of where
the Warning Zone is located if there is no
other visual boundary.
1. Hold the Receiver Collar at your dog’s
neck height.
2. Walk towards the Warning Zone until the Receiver Collar beeps (8A).
3. Place a Boundary Flag in the ground (8B).
4. Walk back into the Dog Area until the beeping stops.
5. Repeat this process around the Warning Zone until it is marked with Boundary
Flags every 10 feet.
Note: If you cannot hear the beep, see the Test Light Instructions in Step 6.
Step 9 Fit the Receiver Collar. The proper fit and placement
of your Receiver Collar is important for effective training.
The Contact Points must have direct contact with your dog’s
skin on the underside of its neck.
To assure a proper fit, please follow these steps:
1. Make sure that the transmitter is turned off.
2. Start with your dog standing comfortably (9A).
3. Centre the Contact Points underneath your dog’s neck, touching the skin. If
your dog has a long or thick coat, use the enclosed long Contact Points to reach
through the hair.
Note: It is sometimes necessary to trim the hair
around the Contact Points to make sure that contact
is consistent.
4. Check the tightness of the Receiver Collar by
inserting one finger between the collar and your
dog’s neck. The fit should be snug but not
constricting (9B).
- 20 -
5. Allow your dog to wear the collar for several
minutes then recheck the fit. Check the fit
again as your dog becomes more comfortable
with the Receiver Collar.
6. Trim the collar as follows: (9C):
a) Mark the desired length of the Receiver Collar with a pen. Allow for growth
if your dog is young or grows a thick winter coat.
b) Remove the Receiver Collar from your dog and cut off the excess strapping. If
a fabric type then heat seal the cut end.
IMPORTANT: For comfort, safety and effectiveness of the system please ensure the
following:
During the first 2 weeks of training do not use the training device on your dog
without your direct supervision.
Check the fit to prevent excessive pressure by being able to insert one finger
between the collar and your dog’s neck.
Your dog must be carefully examined daily for any signs of a rash or sore.
If a rash or sore is observed, discontinue the use of the Receiver Collar for a few
days.
If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.
Your dog’s neck and the Contact Points must be washed weekly with a wash cloth
and mild hand soap then rinsed thoroughly.
Important: A condition called Pressure Necrosis (like bed sores) which is a
devitalisation of the skin due to excessive and prolonged contact against
something may occur if the steps above are not followed.
DOG TRAINING GUIDE
IMPORTANT: Be Patient with your Dog
Proper training of your dog is essential to the success of the DFS-DTC 1200V COMBO
Combo dog trainer and fencing system. Read this section completely before
beginning to train your dog. Remember that the DFS-DTC 1200V COMBO Combo dog
trainer and fencing system is not a solid barrier.
Have fun with your dog throughout the training process. Training should be fun,
fair, firm and consistent.
- 21 -
Train for 10 to 15 minutes at a time. Don’t try to do too much too quickly. More
frequent short sessions are better than less frequent longer sessions.
If your dog shows signs of stress, slow down the training schedule, add additional
days of training or increase the amount of play time with your dog in the Dog
Area. Common stress signals include:
Dog pulling on leash toward the house
Ears tucked
Tail down
Body lowered
Nervous/frantic movement or stiffening of dog’s body
Your dog must be completely comfortable near the Boundary Flags at the end of
every training session. Spend at least 5 minutes of “play time” at the
completion of each session within 10 feet of the Boundary Flags.
Finish each training session on a positive note with lots of praise and play.
Remove the Receiver Collar after each training session.
Be sure to contain your dog by another means during the training period (e.g.
pen, tie-out, leash, etc.).
During training, if you need to take your dog out of the Dog Area, remove the
Receiver Collar and either pick your dog up or put him in the car to pass out of
the Dog Area.
Even if you think your dog is responding well to the training, complete the entire
training. Reinforcement is important!
Step 1 Day 1 – Boundary Flag Awareness
Perform three sessions on day 1, each training session lasting 10-15 minutes.
Goal:To have your dog learn that the Boundary Flags and warning beep from the
Receiver Collar define the new Dog Area.
Setup:
Put a separate non-metallic collar on your dog’s neck ABOVE the Receiver Collar
and attach a leash. Note: Be sure the extra collar does not put pressure
on the Contact Points
Have tiny pieces of treats available that your dog will find desirable
Have your dog’s favourite play toy available.
Steps:
1. Begin by walking your dog on a leash in the Dog Area. Calmly praise and talk to
your dog, occasionally giving treats.
2. Move toward the Boundary Flags (10A). Keep your mood happy and throw
treats to the ground.
- 22 -
3. With full control of your dog on a leash, toss a treat on the outside edge of the
flags. As your dog enters the Static Correction Zone to receive the treat, he will
begin to receive a mild Static Correction ((10B).
4. The longer your dog remains in the Static Correction Zone, the stronger the Static
Correction will get. Allow him to stay in the Static Correction Zone for 2 seconds,
then gently help your dog back into the Dog Area (10C). Immediately praise and
offer him a treat as he enters the Dog Area, even if you have helped with the
leash. Wiggle a
Boundary Flag to help your dog understand that the discomfort of the Static
Correction happens around the flags.
5. Repeat this process at several different Boundary Flags. Your dog should start to
resist going after the treat in the Static Correction Zone. If your dog continues
to enter the Static Correction Zone, check the fit of his Receiver Collar and allow
him 2-3 seconds in the zone before pulling him back to the Dog Area.
Note: Never allow your dog to eat the treat in the Static Correction Zone
Step 2 Days 2 through 4 – Continue Boundary Flag Awareness
Perform three sessions per day, each lasting 10-15 minutes. Goal: To train your dog to
stay in the Dog Area and respect the boundary while you are outside of it.
Setup:
Put a separate non-metallic collar on your dog’s neck ABOVE the Receiver Collar
and attach leash. Note: Be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the
Contact Points.
Have tiny pieces of treats available.
Have your dog’s favourite play toy available.
Steps:
1. Repeat steps 1-4 in Phase One.
2. Drop the leash, leaving your dog in the Dog Area.
3. Walk outside the boundary and wiggle the Boundary Flags facing your dog.
4. Continue around the entire boundary doing this, tossing treats to your dog in the
Dog Area and praising him.
- 23 -
Step 3 Days 5 thru 8 – Distraction Phase.
Perform three training sessions per day, each lasting 10 to 15 minutes. Goal: To train
your dog to stay within the Dog Area with distractions outside of the Dog Area.
Setup:
Put a separate non-metallic collar on your dog’s neck ABOVE the Receiver Collar
and attach a leash. Note: Be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the
Contact Points
Have tiny pieces of treats available.
Have your dog’s favourite play toy available.
Create distractions to tempt your dog to enter the Warning and Static Correction
Zones:
Have a family member cross from
inside the Dog Area to outside of it.
Throw a ball outside of the Dog Area.
Have a neighbour walk their dog
outside of the Dog Area.
Steps:
1. With full control of your dog on a leash, have the distraction presented.
2. If your dog does not move toward the distraction, praise and offer a treat.
3. If your dog does react to the distraction, allow him to go into the Static
Correction Zone.
4. Help your dog back into the Dog Area if he does not turn back after 3 seconds.
5. Treat and praise your dog anytime he comes back into the Dog Area with or
without help.
6. Repeat this process with other distractions. Use other family members during
this process.
Step 4 Days 9 thru 14 – Unleashed Supervision
Training sessions should start at 10-15 minutes, gradually increasing to over an hour.
Your dog is ready for this step only when he clearly avoids the entire Boundary Flag
line, regardless of any distractions or temptations. During this step, do not leave
your dog unattended. Goal: To give your dog free run of the Dog Area off the leash.
Steps:
1. Enter the Dog Area with your dog wearing the Receiver Collar.
- 24 -
2. Walk around the yard and play with your dog, staying within the Dog Area at all
times.
3. Preoccupy yourself with another task in the yard while watching your dog.
4. Should your dog escape, take the Receiver Collar off or turn the fence system off
at the Fence Transmitter and lead him back into the Dog Area.
Step 5 Days 14 thru 30 – Dog Monitoring
Your dog is ready to run! Check in on your dog at regular intervals.
Note: After you are satisfied your dog’s training is complete, remove every other
Boundary Flag every 4 days until all flags are removed. Save Boundary Flags for
future use.
Dog Pass Through Fence System Mode
The MGG Combo Fence System allows you to set up a safe mode so that your dog
can pass through Fence System without any shock corrections.
I. Enter Safe Mode: Press “ “ and “ ” Button of the Remote Trainer at
the same time. The Receiver/collar will beep 3 sounds then 1 beep per
second. Your dog can then pass through the Fence system without any
shock corrections.
II. Exit Safe mode: Press “ “ and “ ” Buttons of the Remote Trainer at
the same time again. The Receiver/collar will beep 3 sounds then the
receiver/collar will return to normal fence operation.
Setting Up Multi-Dog System
You can train your dogs the same as with a normal remote trainer. The MGG Combo
Fence System with Remote Trainer provides you with a remote dog training system
and in-ground fence training system independently.
You can expand your one-dog Remote Trainer into a multi-dog Remote Trainer by
yourself. Simply purchase extra receiver/collar and add them to your system. The
fence system will operate any number of dogs (collars) and the Remote Trainer up to
3 dogs.
1. Match a Receiver/collar To add a Receiver/collar to your remote dog training
system, following the below steps:.
Step 1 : Take out an unmatched receiver/collar. Press and hold the “ON/OFF” button.
