Great product, works well, high aggression dogs should be supervised outside

We were hesitant to try this. It isn’t cheap, and we really thought our dogs wouldn’t respond, especially as we often have deer in our yard. But we were desperate to try something becaude they kept running away if they got loose. After 2 weeks of training, we can leave them in the yard and not worry. It’s so incredible. They know the boundaries and usually stay well within the limits. It didn’t take them long to figure it out. We are so happy with the product!

I’ve had my Pointer on the Pet-Safe system for one month. I’ve waited to review to make sure the system works. I was very skeptical before purchasing because my dog is highly active. Seems ADHD. When let to run free, he will always pick up a scent, and then he’s off for the running. Nothing will call him back! I will eventually get a call from the police in the nearby town, or the kennel just up the road. We are on ten acres, semi-rural, just within the city limits. Would love to just let him run. But?? Anyway, the Pet-Safe. I received the system about a month ago and will share my experiences.
Day One: I set up the system, established the perimeter at the maximum range, white flagged….. I then put the Pet-Safe collar (at level 3) on the dog and walked him (his normal lunging from side to side) out to the perimeter. When approaching the perimeter, he would stop and just look around like “What is going on?”. I would return to the safe zone and then walk out to another flag at the perimeter. Same thing, “What is going on?”. Then return to the safe zone. We did the entire perimeter this way, and then called it a day.
Day Two: I now set the level on the collar to 5. We did the perimeter walk the same way, but this time the collar got his attention and he would initiate the return to safe by himself. We made the entire perimeter with the same results. I decided to take a risk and let him run free, even though it was just day 2. He loved running free, and when nearing the perimeter, he would run back to me and sit there for a moment (while receiving praise and petting). I let him run for another twenty minutes with the same results. We called it a day.
Day Three: I put the collar on him and let him run free. We enjoyed positive results and he never left the perimeter. I let him run for another half hour, then called it a day. I removed the Pet-Safe collar from him and went to turn the collar off. But, what I noticed was that I just now turned it on. Uh-Oh, I had neglected to turn the collar on when I put it on him. But, he had responded as though the collar were active. Wow, was I surprised. Trained by day three!?!
This is a dog that could never be called back if he picked up a scent, which he always did. We now get to run free twice a day (usually), and have never had a failure. A few days ago, I pulled my flat bed trailer around to the back area of the property, well beyond the Pet-Safe perimeter. My dog followed and I wondered what would happen. He followed right along, but at the perimeter he immediately bolted back to the safe zone. Has done wonders for his disposition. I had to be trained too. I now make sure I’ve viewed the on/off status of the collar.
I would like to comment on the system installation. The instructions mention that the system does not work well if installed near steel. My shop and all my outbuildings are covered with corrugated steel roofing and siding. I had to install this in my shop. Works fine and I’m achieving a consistent perimeter of a 150′ radius.
I would like to offer an update to my above review. We are now about six months into the use of the PetSafe system. Nothing has changed from my original review. Stills works great. Not one glitch. My GSH Pointer really loves to run. He looks forward to it every day. There have been times that he’s come running back to me on his own, sitting there with an “expression” on his face as if to say “OK, I’m done now”. This has really helped with his overall behavior (much less destructive), and my feelings toward my dog have greatly improved.

Overall I am really happy and glad I bought this product. Happy because it works and glad because my two dogs won’t be shot.
I am new to rural living and always thought that people out in these parts just had the luxury of allowing your pets to have free reign. Not true! I received an unknown call one night from a neighbor just down the road. A nice enough conversation until the neighbor told me that his neighbor told him to shoot my dogs next time they came to his property! OMG I thought. So I started keeping them in until they needed to go to the washroom. Took them out on a leash. That, need I even say, became tedious! There much be a better way. We have no fences and for the 7 acres we have it would cost a fortune!
In comes this product after doing a bit of research.
Easy to set up. Easy to use. One thing though. I did NOT use the wire pegs at all. I went to put them up and mark out to the dogs where they could not go and thought to myself — these things would hurt if impaled through the leg, foot or any part of the body. Got scared to use them. So I went through the rest of the set up and training. Just went out with them and let them figure out where they couldn’t go. It worked within 3 days! Now, unless we take the necklaces ( that’s what we call them ) off they know not to go far! One thing to remember is don’t entice them to get shocked. If they do it on their own it’s fine and they learn but if you goad them into doing it they simply stop trusting you.
I recommend this product to anyone that needs to contain their animal buddies within a reasonable area.

I was really hesitant to get an electric fence, because I felt like it was mean, and wouldn’t work. And we tried the kind with a wire for our English Setter, which you have to burry and oh my god that was awful. It didn’t work at all, and the dumbest part of was that if he went past the boundary it would shock him when he came back! So we returned that awful contraption and had given up. But then we got a husky/German Shepard puppy, and letting them out became impossible. They would run all over the place and get into the neighbors compost, not to mention the the husky hates being indoors and would just whine all day wanting to go out. So we finally decided to try this wireless fence. We live close to a main road and have a lot of neighbors, and with two very energetic dogs that want to be playing outside with each other ALL day, we didn’t know what else to do.
I was a little nervous/intimidated when we got the wireless fence in the mail, but the set up was really easy. I plugged in the base and took the collar out. The beeps to let you know when you’re getting close to the boundary line and nice and loud and easy to hear, unlike the beeps for the other fence we tried which were so faint you could barely here them at all.
I set the fence up in the middle of winter, so the flags were really hard to see, because of all the snow. I read the whole training manual, but I didn’t end up following it. I walked the dogs around their perimeter a couple times on a leash, and then let them explore on their own. I started out using the short prongs and the lowest shock level for the husky puppy (who was 6 or 7 months when we got the fence). He went right through the barrier and didn’t seem to feel any correction, so I switched to the long prongs and turned the collar up to mid/high level. He only had to get shocked once. I felt really bad when it happened, and he was scared to go outside alone for a few days after, but we’ve had the fence system for several months, and he he understands the boundary now, and won’t go passed where he hears the beeps. The training situation was similar for our English Setter who is 4. We had to order a second collar for him, because the fence system only comes with one, and the first one we ordered took batteries, instead of the rechargeable one the fence came with, so I had to send that one back for a rechargeable one (because who wants to deal with batteries). So it ended up being a couple weeks before we were able to train the English Setter on the fence also. We were more worried about him, since he’s a bird hunting dog, and will take off after birds, and also because the first fence with the wire we had to bury didn’t work at all. He has short hair so we did the short prongs on his collar and set it to the mid/high level. He also got shocked once, and for about a week would only hangout in the middle of the backyard, but now he’s completely comfortable going outside. The dogs can go out together and play for hours and I don’t have to worry about them running off. People will walk by our house with their dogs and our dogs will just sit on the front lawn behind their boundary line and won’t go passed. My boyfriend can leave the house in his truck while they’re out there and they won’t try to follow him. Which really surprised me about the English Setter, because he used to take off after him all the time.
In short, this fence system has been amazing for us. Our dogs are so much happier now that they can go outside and get exercise whenever they want. They get so excited when I put their collars on, because they know it means they get to go outside. I take their collars off when they come inside, and never leave them on overnight, and I haven’t noticed any type of irritation from the prongs. The collars last a couple weeks before they need to be charged. I charge them when I see the collar beep red, which only takes a couple hours. I can’t recommended this fence system highly enough.

I’ve only had it a couple weeks, so it’s hard to tell for sure, but the product seems good and works as advertised. Hopefully the battery will last as it’s not replaceable. I’m having a little trouble with the training, but we’ll get there. Be sure to do your homework first though. I may have missed it in the ad, but I didn’t know until I sarted setting it up and visited the manufacturer’s website, that it doesn’t work well if you have a metal roof on your house and/or if you have hilly terrain. It does seem to be managing the slope in my driveway, but it’s close. I also only seem to be getting about half the expected range, and I think that’s because of the metal roof.

We had the previous model for years so it was time for an upgrade. This model allows for a more exact “fence” location vs the previous model. Very happy so far!

Easy to set up. We have a very stubborn pup who loves to chase deer and cats. Took less than a week for him to learn his boundaries. Only got shocked 3 times before he started listening and now as soon as the collar starts beeping he comes right back. Now he can stay outside and we don’t have to worry about him.
The only thing I would like to see is it cover a larger area. Our back yard is much bigger than our side yards, so he can’t utilize all the backyard, since at the largest setting he gets in the woods and then the neighbors yards. But, I would buy again with no hesitation.
