    Why is my Petsafe YardMax Cordless In-Ground Fence receiver collar not beeping or correcting?

      First, ensure the receiver collar is turned on and that the battery status lights are flashing every 4 seconds. If it still does not work, charge the receiver collar and run the ReadyTest® startup and PerfectFit diagnostic tests. Also, check that the fence transmitter power is on and the display is lit.

      If your pet reacts strongly to the static correction and has become fearful, you should lower the static correction level. If the issue persists, suspend training and start again the next day.
