Double Loop Layout Attached to an Existing Fence

Double Loop Layouts are needed when certain areas of the property do not need containment. This requires the wire to be double backed on itself so that it can still create one single loop back to the wall unit.

This layout is ideal when you are looking to contain a portion of your property and keeping your pet from escaping an existing fence. This layout does not allow for the pet to approach the physical fence without correction. The highlighted graphic indicates where the pet is allowed to go.

To lay a Double Loop that attaches to an existing fence, start by laying the outer wire around the perimeter of the area you want to contain. Begin at the top of the fence and follow the fence line until you reach the end of the containment area. Once you reach the end, step inward 3–5 feet and follow the same path back toward the starting point, laying the inner wire at the base of the fence. Once you have completed the loop and returned to where you started, you can splice in your twisted wire to connect the boundary loop to your wall unit.

Twisted wire allows the pet to cross over the wire without receiving a correction. It is needed to connect your wall unit to your boundary wire. The wire needs to have 10-12 twists per foot to adequately cancel the signal. Pre-twisted wire is recommended and can be purchased HERE. The wire can also be twisted manually or utilizing a drill as seen HERE.
