Excellent July 16, 2008

I'm very impressed with this product. We have a new puppy and wanted to make sure she stayed safe. This keeps her contained in the yard without having to dig a trench in the yard. I would highly recommend this to anyone with a dog.

Don't let dog wear in the house! July 7, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

This is a great product. We've used it for a few years. Our 62# dog quickly learned the boundary line. The only problem we've had is false "corrections" inside the house. Any large metal object that blocks the signal can trigger it. We noticed it with the fridge and our brass bed. When I called tech support, they told me not to let the dog wear it in the house - very helpful......
So, if not for this, I would give more stars. Even with this limitation, it was worth every dime and then some. Because we've had it so long, the dog seldom needs the collar to stay within his boundary.

Wires? We Don't Need to Show You No Stinking WIRES July 4, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

Two words: Jack Russells! A freedom loving, free range aspiring, breed that has been known to throw themselves through screen doors, eat their way through drywall and tunnel-not feet but yards-in order to evade incarceration. I have two (OK this is NOT a review of my sanity)! They both have both "run through" the in-ground wired containment system when it was fully deployed. Once outside the containment they have been resistant to return, knowing that they would be "jolted" for the second time upon their return. My PetSafe Wireless system is superior in every way. Set-up, control of strength of "discouragement" and the 25 second "encouragement" to return to the "safe zone" all make this a dream for the "born to run" Jack owner.
Three caveats: 1. The collar receiver is considerably bigger than its in-ground wired version. On a small breed you wonder if its a "burden." (My boys don't seen to notice.) 2. The snap style collar that came with the system came un-snapped during a daring under-the-fence escape by my elder Jack and of course the containment was rendered null and He voided the yard. 3. The containment area is 360 degree circular and may not conform exactly to the specific area you need to contain the dog in.

works better than my old buried wire system July 3, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I had both a chain link fence and a buried-wire Innotek system. When enticed by a fleeing squirrel or bunny, my 25 lb. border collie mix (Lucy) would occasionally run through the shock fence and jump over the chain link fence. Lucy hasn't left my yard since I installed the wireless fence a month ago. The fact that she can no longer dash through the shock field but keeps getting shocked until she returns has made a huge difference. I had read some customer reviews of the wireless system that mentioned unexpected collar activations inside the house. I had experienced this problem with my old buried wire system. With that system, the collar would beep occasionally when my dogs got close to TVs or computers. My dogs have, consequently, been scared of TVs for years. Now that I've used the wireless system for about a month, the dogs will actually sit with me when I'm watching TV. Hurray!

Exactly what we wanted June 21, 2008
This wireless system was just what we wanted. We've been using it for just about three years, and it is working wonderfully. It annoys me that the company has specialized and sometimes expensive batteries, but you can find them on line at a discount.

I am sorry to hear that some are having problems with or don't like the unit. Our Golden Retriever (Blondi) was a pleasure to train, and the sessions were complete within about a week. I still test the perimeter once or twice a year, and it's kind of funny to see her jump back when the warning beep sounds with the collar in my hand. She is on the 3/6 setting. I tested it on my hand at that setting, and it does give you a nice zap!

If you are just starting, don't neglect to use the training flags, as they help both you and the pet.

Overall as I mentioned, we are very happy with it, and it was much cheaper than paying to get the wires buried. Our one an only estimate for that was > $1500.
