has anyone had any bother with this locator , the one i got isnt working , its a terrier collar , it works when u have the collar above ground , i put it on the dog and put her in a artificial earth and ot wouldnt pick the signal up ....... could it be the batteries in the collar ????????? the indacator never gets below 9ft even when the collar is inches of the box........

 

I've experienced similar problems. Only use on ferrets until I have more faith in the system. I tend to borrow my mates B&F for terrier work

Cover them with electrical tape.

TBH when you have spent that much on a piece of equipment, you dont really wanna be bodging it up with electrical tape. you would expect it to work
