But for those dog owners who are just renting their homes or don’t have tools for digging, the method of buying the wires may not be applicable. And those who don’t just like the idea of burying the wires are still hesitant in using an underground dog fence system.

We at Electric Fence Dog 4Less have another great solution in setting up your own underground fence system. With the use of our Securing Staples, you can now secure the wires above the ground in creating the boundary for your containment area. This Above Ground Installation is proven to be effective and reliable.

Step 1:

» First lay out your boundary wire in your desired shape and around the area you want to contain. From your boundary wire run twisted wire to your transmitter and pug it in.
» Once you have decide the system you chose is correct for you, "Staple" the twisted wire to the ground by hammering in a wire "Staple" every 5 - 6 feet.
» Now stop and look at the wire. Is it completely flush to the ground all the way to the start of the boundary? The wire MUST completely touch the ground. If not go and "Staple" any raised areas before proceeding to the next step.

Step 2:

» Place a "Staple" where the twisted wire and the beginning of the boundary meet (if you have a splice in this area please dig a small hole about 2 inches deep and bury the splice. Then place a "Staple" in the front of and behind the splice to relieve any pressure on the splice)
» Next, walk to the first corner of your boundary and "Staple" it to the ground. Repeat this step for all corners of your boundary. (Not all yards are square if you do not have corners on your boundary please select multiple anchor points for the wire)
» Now place staples as needed and make sure to staple any raised areas down until they are completely flush with the ground, for maximum safety for you and your guests.
