How do wireless pet containment systems work?
Your pet wears a special collar that is programmed to detect the radio signal (called a receiver collar.) If your pet gets too close to the underground wire, the radio signal triggers a 'beeping' noise from the receiver collar that alerts the dog (or cat) to retreat away from the buried wire.
