Are you sure the battery in the collar device is OK?
And is there power to the transmitter /

Frank in north of Scotland

We had just replaced the battery in the collar Sunday night. We think we just didn't train them as long as they needed to be trained to understand to go back when it beeps and not go through the barrier.

We've disconnected the power to the transmitter so that, in the off chance that she returns, she doesn't get buzzed when she approaches the boundary. We can definitely put power to it in our vehicle or in our home if there is possibly a way to locate her using it.

I would think when you make a big loop of wire or other material with
wire attached to it (as big as you can handle, say 3-4 feet across),
and connect that to the transmitter, it can be used to locate the
transponders. Check that on the other transponder.

But it will probably not work more than a few feet away, just like in the
original setup, so it is unclear how useful that is.

It is a wireless transmitter, but that would probably work with the wired system since that's the method used to check to see if the transponder is functioning correctly.

I emailed the company Petsafe to ask if there was a way to find her using it and was told no, so it seems I'm going to have to hope she just shows up or is found.

A wireless transmitter?
Those virtual fences normally use a buried wire to define the boundaries
of the area the pet is allowed to be in.
Is that not the case with your system?

Nope. It doesn't use any wires. It creates an up to 90ft radius around wherever the transmitter is placed. If you look further up the thread, I posted the product page from home depot's website.
