Pet Boundary Fence dog collar questions
Hi
I recently purchased a Pet Boundary and Dog collar from a 2nd hand store.
It was never used, but it's package shows some years on it.
I would be very curious if anyone here has ever used one of these Pet boundary controls in a robot platform
project.
It does not appear that getting the receiver housing apart for investigation will be an option, at least from the start.
Supposedly, when the collar comes to within about 2ft of the boundary wire, the collar will beep 2x then Shock
the dog through probes in the bottom of the receiver.
I don't know how to find out the Shock voltage.
When I try it out, I think I'll place a 1meg resistor across the high voltage output.
Maybe I could put a microphone in close proximity to the speaker to be used as an input to my quickstart Board.
This subject seems to come up every now and then, but I never see that anyone has successfully used this technique
for boundary control.
Any comments, suggestions etc. would be greatly appreciated.
When I test this out, I'll add a post to this thread.
Thanks all

They had ARLO robots roaming around the booth with the dog collar technology.
If I remember, it was not that hard to implement and used 30 gauge wire wrap wire taped to the floor.
I'll see if I can find the link tomorrow.
Any info, threads, youtube videos, links or any opinions concerning the electronic dog collar subject
will be greatly appreciated.
I've been thinking about something like this for a couple of years now.
Now that I have something in my shop, even though it may be obsolete.
I may be able to get this idea, from idea stage to something that is real.
I'm sure others would be interested in this subject also.
