SportDog Electric Fence
SportDog In-Ground Electric Fence System for Dog Containment
SportDog in-ground electric fence systems are for the handler who needs a hard boundary around a yard or kennel run between hunts — a high-drive dog that has spent a season testing gates and fence corners needs a containment setup that holds up to that pressure without relying on a physical barrier to do it. They fit within the full SportDog brand lineup, and for handlers who need bark control alongside containment, the SportDog no bark collars handle that separately. The SDF-100C Rechargeable In-Ground Fence System is the foundation — a fence transmitter running a buried boundary wire, a compact rechargeable collar receiver with a lithium-ion battery that charges in 2 hours and lasts one to two months between charges, seven levels of static stimulation plus vibration and tone, and DryTek waterproof construction submersible to 25 feet. The system comes with 1,000 feet of wire and 100 training flags covering an area up to 1⅓ acres; additional wire and flags expand that footprint. The Rechargeable In-Ground Fence Add-A-Dog Coll
How to set up and expand a SportDog fence
SportDog in-ground fence systems start with the boundary layout, because corners, gates, and narrow pass-throughs affect how cleanly dogs learn the line. Use training flags to make the perimeter obvious during the first stages, then remove them once the dog is consistent. A wire and flag kit matters when you’re repairing a break, extending the loop, or changing the shape of the boundary after the season. If you’re running more than one dog, an add-a-dog collar lets you keep the same boundary while adding another collar to the system.
SportDog fence system questions
What is a SportDog electric fence used for?
A SportDog electric fence is used for in-ground dog containment using a buried boundary wire. A SportDog fence system also supports boundary training so the dog learns where the perimeter is.
What’s the difference between an in-ground fence system and an add-a-dog collar?
A rechargeable in-ground fence system is the core setup that establishes the buried boundary and runs the containment area. A rechargeable in-ground fence add-a-dog collar is used to add another dog to that same boundary.
When would I need a wire and flag kit?
A wire and flag kit is needed when you’re installing an in-ground fence layout, repairing a cut wire, or extending the boundary loop. Training flags are also used during boundary training to help the dog visually understand the line.
How do I add a second dog to my SportDog fence system?
A SportDog rechargeable in-ground fence add-a-dog collar is the typical way to add a second dog to the same in-ground boundary. A separate collar keeps both dogs working the same perimeter without changing the wire layout.
What should I focus on when planning an in-ground fence layout around a kennel run?
An in-ground fence layout should focus on clean corners, protected wire routes, and a boundary line that doesn’t force the dog through tight choke points. A consistent layout makes boundary training faster and reduces confusion at gates and entry areas.
Do SportDog fence collars work for boundary training during daily turnout?
SportDog in-ground fence collars work for boundary training when the dog is turned out regularly in the same perimeter. Consistent sessions with visible flags help the dog learn the boundary faster than occasional, unpredictable exposure.
