Troubleshooting Tips

If you have started to see a red flashing light on your pet’s Computer Collar unit, your Power Cap battery may need to be replaced. You can order replacement batteries online, from your local dealer, or by calling (800) 578-3647.

If your Invisible Fence control panel is beeping every second, the most likely issue is that you have a wire break somewhere on your property. These can be caused by digging too deep when working in the yard, burrowing animals, and even the weather. The most important thing to know is that your fence will NOT contain your pets when there is a wire break, so you should not let your pets outside until the issue is resolved. To set up a service call for a wire break, call (800) 578-3647 or request a service appointment from your local dealer online by clicking here.

If your Invisible Fence control panel is beeping with a lengthy pause between each beep, it’s possible your backup battery unit needs to be replaced. Your fence will still work, but if your power goes out, the system will no longer be operational until power is restored. You can purchase replacements through your local dealer by calling (800) 578-3647.

At your service appointment, our Certified Technician will test your entire system including the control panel, lightning and surge protection, Computer Collar receiver, and underground wire. We will provide a complete system analysis, make any necessary repairs, and reintroduce your pet to the Invisible Fence system.

Ensure that your pet’s Computer Collar receiver is fitted properly to his neck. The collar should be snug enough to slide only one finger between a correction post and your pet’s skin. Remember to adjust the fit of the collar as your pet’s coat, weight, and age change. Your pet’s coat may change from season to season.

Make sure you’re testing the collar at the same height level as your pet. If you’re holding the collar at your waist and you have a small dog or cat, you may not hear the tone or feel the correction because you’re above the signal field. If you have a Boundary Plus® system, you’ll also want to make sure you walk through the boundary, as the correction does not occur until your pet leaves the yard.

Check your Power Cap battery. We recommend changing the battery every 3 months. Using a fresh, genuine Invisible Fence Power Cap battery is the safest, easiest and most reliable way to guarantee your pet’s safety 100% of the time. You can purchase Power Cap batteries online or from your local dealer.
