You don't have to bury the boundary wire, do you? Does the rock have a place to connect the wire?

it's best if the wire is buried where people walk. it doesn't have to be buried to work.both ends of the wire connects to the rock and forms a loop. I initially tried to make a very narrow loop about 30' long and 5' wide but I believe the electric field from each wire cancelled the signal out. Frustrating to have the dog just sit on top of the wires and nothing happening.This is very nice solid core copper wire. I also tried braided speaker wire (works), and aluminum wire (works). both far cheaper alternatives.

Well I guess you wouldn't have to. You could use it like an electric fence but be careful if the doggies aren't wearing the collar them they could chew up the wire and electrocute themselves. We buried ours since we didn't always use the system so when they were outside we didn't worry about them chewing the wire up. There are 2 connectors in the rock.

I have to be honest we didn't use the wire. But the rock does have a place for it.

You do not have to, but I have found that my dogs, will get to the wire and move even thought they have collar on. The Rock does have its section which the wire connect to.

The rock does have a place to connect the wire. I guess you wouldn't have to burry the wire, but we buried ours.

Yes. It's only connected to the wall with a couple of screws the and wires are secured through a finger-press tab to lock them in place. If you had the underground wire installed in two locations (or more), moving the powered unit would be very simple. Keep in mind you will need to train your dog(s) to both boundaries with the flags.

No, although the directions in the box say to connect it, you do NOT need to. There is no difference when you plug It in or keep it out.

You need a physical barrier such as a fence or railroad tie. The other models can be contained with a perimeter wire, but not this one.

It needs the burried wire, this just doesn't have it. The unit would hook up to wire if you already had wire installed. It won't work at all if you don't have the wire.

Not really. It has a natural triangular shape, with just three places to connect it to the wall.

Earth ground/multiple radials, etc. Experience has proven that it does not require to be connected to anything and it works just fine.

Yes, it has to connect back to the same pet rock. An L shape is possible, but the wires need to be about 3 ft. apart.

I would not bury this directly in the ground, needs to be put into electrical PVC conduit. Or the wire will degrade if installed directly in the dirt,and stop working

You don't have to. But I highly recommend it. I feel it gives you a better edge and keeps the stone from loading up.

I'm not sure what you mean "without the wire." You have to use the wire to define the space. Just using the unit only covers the immediate area around the unit. Once you bury the wire and the dog becomes accustomed to the beep it makes before zapping them, the doh will not cross where you've put the wire and flags. I have almost an acre covered by underground wire and my girls never venture beyond the flags or beeps. We love this fence!

After deciding where you want to place the boxes - run all of your wire , power, cable and HD to each box. Mark the area where the cut outs in the sheet rock need to go so that your wire is behind the cut outs - install the sheet rock and cut the box holes. This product is designed for already installed sheet rock - not new construction where the boxes are nailed into the studs. The boxes should fit into the cut outs you made and the corner screws in each box will tighten and hold the boxes in place. Pretty simple to install - especially if you can run your power and cables prior to installing the sheet rock.

The wires will reach from one end to the other. It will not matter if it is not centered.

Yes, there is a wire with a loop at the end. I had to attach a hook to my line to hand it.

invisible fences do not require any underground connections .. these are for wired buried containment systems..

No it does not, but it does not need a line of site either...works from a good distance without line of site though...overall a good product too.

Yes there is a slot in the base that allows the wires to exit from the side.
