PetSafeStay & Play Wireless Pet Fence with Replaceable Battery Collar - Circular Boundary Secures up to 3/4 Acre, No-Dig Portable Electric Fence, for Dogs 5 lb & Up, from Parent INVISIBLE FENCE BRAND

This wireless fence system is very easy to install and works very well for our high energy dog. Our property is not fenced, but is essentially flat so we were able to achieve a consistent boundary perimeter. We bought a package of 100 yellow plastic flags and are using them rather than the 50 flags included with the system, as we needed that to achieve an even ten feet between flags. We followed the training instructions exactly as described, and by the second day, our dog would not go so far as to be within the buzzing-alert range. The first 4 days of training, I kept him on the leash and walked in all directions towards the boundary, multiple times each day. He consistently initiated “putting on the brakes” as we approached the boundary, so I would lavishly praise and reward him. Days 5 - 8, I still kept him on the leash and added distractions. He completely restrained himself and would not pursue the toys or people approaching until they were far enough within the boundary for the dog’s comfort. Days 9 - 30 (we’re currently on day 24), we moved to unleashed supervision and play. We’ve successfully played fetch an unlimited number of times every day and played endlessly with the kids. If the ball happened to land too close to the flags, he would not go get it. Or, if the kids left the boundary, he would not follow them through it. However, one afternoon around day 17, a cat was meandering within the boundary and the dog saw it from inside and went nuts. When I let him out the door, he chased the cat through the boundary. He got alerted and zapped but didn’t stop until he was a hundred yards away. Then he came to a complete stop and walked back to me. We walked inside the boundary and I praised him for coming back within safety. Following that, I walked the boundary with him on leash again and he would not go anywhere near the edges. After that we went back to unleashed play and supervision, and he has not chased anything through the boundary again. Two days ago, as we went outside, we surprised the cat, who ran away quickly. My dog gave chase for about 6 feet, then stopped well within the boundary and just turned around and looked at me. I praised him lavishly again. I’m very optimistic that this will be a reliable, long term solution. I recommend it.

This is our second wireless pet fence collar. The first was PetSafe Stay + Play Wireless Fence Receiver Collar and it had a built in rechargeable battery. I do not recommend that product! It got muddy and stopped working, and with no way to replace battery it only lasted a few months total until it could no longer hold a charge more than a few hours. This one however has been an entirely better experience and I recommend this product. It uses REMOVABLE and replaceable batteries and the batteries are very affordable considering we have averaged 2 months for each. This product works with the same base/transmitter as the other collar so it was a simple matter of switching out the collars.I recommend getting a pack of the batteries as that should be cheaper and more convenient than buying them one or two at a time.We remove the collar and turn it off at night when our dog stays in the house, and replace it every morning before she goes out. It works great, and allows our german shephard/husky mix to roam and run in our yard and have plenty of room to play. The main reasons we purchased the wireless pet fence was to keep our pooch out of the roads that are near our home. It has proven effective and safe and has kept our dog safe for over a year now. She stays off of our neighbors property and never leaves our yard unless we remove the collar for a walk or ride. Do yourself a favor and get the one with the replaceable battery.

Must have if you own a dog! This perimeter collar works great for my small dog. I love that he can be outside without being on his leash. It was easy to install and set up. My dog learned where he can go super quick. He is very cautious and knows his limits.

Do Not buy!!!! I have Boxador Retriever that’s about a 65 to 70 pound dog. We bought this color because the original calor that came with the unit we lost.This new Caller? I got that supposed to work with the machine is nowhere near as good as the original that came with it. i’m having to replace these batteries two times a month not only that the dog kept testing its boundaries. because the collar wasn’t working, I made sure that the collar was tight enough. I even sewed it to make sure that it wouldn’t move and that it had contact with the skin not tight tight but secure. And it doesn’t work. And I made sure that we had it all the way up on number six and he still jarred down the road chasing a dog. Thank God, it was a dog he was chasing, but still we were outside every time because we do not let our dog in the front yard unless we are with him.you pay $100 for something and you expect for it to work like the original (it does NOT! luckily I found the original calor we put the original back on the dog and it is working fine. Don’t waste your money, especially if you don’t have a fence and you’re using this as your fence to keep your dog in your yard. Another thing just because it has the name of the original collar does not mean it works as good as the original collar these secondhand distributors make sure that it works. It might make a noise if he goes to the perimeter, but it is nowhere near the same product in strength and reliance.
