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 over all is a good product. The only thing I wish I had known is that you need to replace batteries. My dog learned in less then a day the boundary’s

I purchased this because my unruly cat finally jumped the fence to escape the yard when he was given outside time. (It was only a matter of time) He is cat-aggressive to other cats and despite being nurtured, always wants to go after them. If he escapes he thinks he is wild, and will suddenly go feral. He attacked me one night as I tried to pick him up to bring him inside after the time he jumped the fence. At that point, I knew I had to do something. So this is what I turned to. (I’m not going to declaw him)
Yoshi is roughly 15 lbs. The device is a little big for him, but not too big. It works for him. If you have a small cat that is around 5 lbs, the device may be too bulky.
The diameter is round so you’ll want to have some indicator to the animal of where their boundaries are. I have it a little around my rectangular fence. It only goes off at the corners, and about 10′ past my chainlink fence on the long sides. It comes with a test device so you can see exactly where it beeps and shocks. The shock levels are adjustable. The circle is widely adjustable to your liking, many sizes to choose from until it’s just right. You have to set it up each time when you use it, as it cant be out in the weather. I just put it on a cinderblock out back where I established to be a good spot, and run an extension chord out to it. It’s set up in the backyard, and does not activate at all in the house. This is perfect because I dont want him to be punished when he runs inside. I take it off right away when he comes in.
He is still learning the boundaries. But, the device works perfect on my hard headed, wiley cat. After a beep or shock, he runs straight to the door so I can let him inside and give him treats and positive reinforcement. This is essential. He does not hate the collar. Put it on the animal a few times in the house with it turned off. Don’t let them associate the collar with anything negative. He doesn’t mind wearing it because he associates it with fun outside time.
I don’t usually leave reviews, but my situation is unique and potentially valuable for cat owners. It’s difficult to find any cat reviews for this product, and a positive one at that.

Works great with my Petsafe Stay and Play wireless fence. I like the battery after what happened with my rechargeable collars. The rechargeable receiver wireless fence collars that came with the fence broke after a few years.
Unfortunately the plastic cracked on both of them. I checked them before putting them on all the time. The first one cracked from the post to a corner. Second one cracked while my Boone dog was wearing it outside. It malfunctioned when it broke and he came yelping to the door. It was shocking him for no reason. I took it off and saw it was cracked and leaking acid. Checked the dog and cleaned off his neck with baking soda poultice to neutralize it but he was already burned by the acid. Trip to vet and after healing he is fine but I needed new collars and didn’t want to have that happen again! I had to get him a harness to wear while healing and he had to go out on a line so he wouldn’t go visiting.
He and his sister love to play outside and there are no fences where we live. Too much snow in winter. I found this one that has the batteries and it said it is good for all the wireless fences Petsafe makes. It works really great and I don’t have to worry about the acid. Buying more batteries on Amazon cheap because it ran out. Battery lasted a long time. Even with dead battery Boone dog stays in the boundries when the collar is on him.
I don’t want to tempt him though. The squirrels are out of their winter holes already and that will test his will to stay inside the wireless perimeter. Can’t blame him for that! Pic is of them outside in the snow. The poles sticking out of the snow are for the bow gate on my 5 ft high horse panels and the snow is more than 5 feet deep where the dogs are standing. The horses are on a farm in the lowlands in the winter. Too much snow for them here.

Ok. just because it says 2 hours on the description of how long it takes to set up, I had this done in 10 mins tops! Easy to get going tested it out on ourselves before putting on the dog. Level 1 is ineffective on dogs but we humans felt it! Overall it took 2 times for the dog to feel the zap and she now knows not to pass the flags! works as a charm!

Works well but wish the battery lasted a little longer…gets about a week out of it! Took my dogs a little while to get used it to but now it perfect, they can go outside off leash and stays in the yard! Also awesome for camping!

The PetSafe wireless containment system is a bit pricey initially (approx. $400), but we have a huge yard and fencing it would have cost astronomically more. Hate caging dogs up all day, so started with system, then ordered this add-a-collar when we got another dog. Works amazing, takes even a pig-headed dog about 2 or 3 days max to figure it out, and voila! Safe animals, no worries for owners!
