Installing wire in ground

Tuck the boundary wire into the trench, and cover the wire by stomping on the ground around the trench. You can use a handheld weeding tool to simplify the process, just make sure to dull the prongs first — if the weeder is too sharp, you may accidentally break the wire watch a video of me using this technique.

Alternatively, you can use a wooden paint stirrer, although a weeding tool tends to be far more efficient. Create and install your twisted wire. In some areas, you'll need to install wire that shouldn't correct your dog — for example, the wire that connects your transmitter to your outer boundary wire. Fortunately, there's a simple solution: when you twist two lengths of wire together, it cancels the signal each of those wires emits. If your twisted wire needs to travel a long distance, it's pretty painstaking to create the twisted wire by hand.

Fortunately, I can show you a quick and easy way to create as much twisted wire as you need. Cover your wire. Once your wire is in the ground, take a few minutes to cover the trench you dug by stomping on it. Flag your boundary line.

Every two to three feet, put one of the flags that came with your DIY dog fence in the ground to act as a temporary visual cue for your dog. You'll remove the flags in a couple of weeks, once you finish training your dog to understand his new fence.

Helpful Tip: If you accidentally break the wire during installation — or if you need to cut the wire to complete your installation — use a waterproof wire splice to reconnect the loose ends of wire.
