Worth every penny!!
September 4, 2020
This system is easy to set up and most importantly gives you peace of mind! We live near a busy roadway and had one pet hit. This is a great investment for anyone who has a wandering dog. We can leave them outside now with no worries
Pros
  • Quick easy set up. Dogs are constrained as long as both units have power. We like the fact that is portable and adjustable, both shock level and coverage area
Cons
  • The only small complaint I have is that I wish the collars were rechargeable. So we are going to stock up on batteries!
Expert Review
Works great! Easy install!

I bought this a few years ago and it's still working great.The hardest part is finding the right spot to put the transmitter so you have the best coverage. I ended up putting it in my storage shed in the back yard and running an extension cable to it. I have a small yard and the 1/2 size is just right. I was surprised at how fast my dog got use to the system. The flags are a must for a visual perimeter for the dog. She had it figured out in an hour or so. Great value and peace of mind knowing my dog won't leave the backyard!
Pros
  • Easy Install. Inexpensive.
Cons
  • Only provides so much coverage. Homeowner's with big yards probably need an in-ground fence system. (We recommend the Sportdog SDF-100A).

The petsafe wireless electric fence works amazing. I was worried that our cars would set the collar off, it did when we set the radius to go through the area where we park. We just expanded the fence to go out further and no longer have that problem. Now my dog can go into the neighbor's yard a little bit, but we placed the flags so that my dog would think he couldn't go in their yards. So far so good.

She trained so easily on the device. Such a relief for her not to be running into the road or chasing the neighbor's cats. Don't know what took me so long to get the wireless fence. So glad I did.

I have not used this fence as of yet. It was purchased so when I visit friends homes without a fence it could be used there. I will begin the training process shortly. I am sure this product is as great as all that I have purchased from you.

This product worked great! My dog instantly learned the boundaries with the use of the flags! Only had 1 correction on timid setting, and now he will run all around the yard without me having to worry! Well worth the money!

An excellent concept. Easy to set up. Unfortunately, the building code in our area requires a lot of rebar and concrete, so consistency and range are issues.

Our dog is very nervous over some things, so we only have it set on 2, and she won't even go out as far as her limits. We need to work on that, but I am pleased with the fence performance.

I've had the system for years. I recently added a second transmitter to allow for more space for the dogs. Once the dogs are trained to stay in the safe zone, you can set the collar so it just peeps, and they will not challenge the barrier.

My husband trained our son's dog, and it works like a charm. We feel really relaxed; confident that Brie will stay within her boundaries . The bell sound is enough to scare her. This has changed our lives. We just clip the collar on Brie, let her out the door and know that she is safe . Now we really have fun playing, running, jumping and chasing without her being attached to a lead. Best $ 279.00 we ever spent. We gave it to our son to take home with him but when we dog sit for him again he will bring Brie's collar and the receiver for us to use. That is the beauty of system. It is transferable. Buy it! You will love it!

SAVED MY DOG'S LIFE. My male husky would run off at every opportunity and take the lab with him. He has ended up in doggy jail twice and gotten hit by a car once. In a last effort to keep my husband from taking him to the pound I bought this wireless fence system. My Lab caught on the first day, but I worked with my stubborn husky for four days, showing him the perimeter and letting him hear the tone as the instructions said. On the fifth day I turned on the shock to level 3 and let him run with no leash. He immediately tested the barrier, received his correction and came right back to the porch. It actually took me another week to get him to come off the porch without a leash on, and he has not tested the perimeter since. We even take it with us camping and plug it into the RV and set up some flags. I can feel safe letting both my dogs play in the yard without worrying that they are going to run off. Thank you so much.

Works great! Dogs know where the boundary is. We don't even have to use the actual collar on the Schnauzer anymore. He knows where the boundaries are and stays in line.

This product is EXCELLENT!! We had an electric fence company give us an estimate and they wanted $2,600 to wire our yard + said we would require extra training lessons for our rescued severely abused dog. We bought this product for $279.99 over 2 years ago and it works like a charm. Even our rescue dog was trained within a few days.

We have an average size home and yard, and the unit is placed in the garage. Her collar can alert her at random places in the yard. We followed the manufacturer's recommendations, and the largest metal object is the garage door near the unit, but it's not the best training tool for a new pet b/c the boundaries can change surprisingly.

The fence works great as long as the battery to the collar is not dead. However, the batteries only work for about 3 weeks before going bad. The company says they should last at least 3 months, but I have replaced them several times and they all only last around 3 weeks.

Works well. Keeps dogs on my property. Very easy to set up. Couple of drawbacks. It can be challenging to find the right location for the main unit. The field it creates is a perfect circle, so I ended up having to put the unit in my kitchen to create the desired perimeter. Also the battery life for the collar is pretty short (less than 90 days). Probably the biggest issue I had was that both collars had to be replaced within the first year. Since the manufacturer replaced them both free of charge as it was still within the one year warranty, it wasn't that big of a deal. From information that I've found on the internet, it's pretty common to have to replace the collar every year. All of that said, it does work as advertised.

The system has worked great for me at several locations. I did have to encapsulate the receivers in ABS plumbing elbows with holes 3/8" diameter drilled to accommodate extra long probes. The dogs being together all the time would chew each other's receiver into an unusable state. The elbows keep the receivers in a brand new condition because I wrap them with electrical tape. This does put more wear on the probes' sockets taking them out to change the batteries every 90 days. I had one to break but Pet Safe sold me a replacement at a discount. The only con is the system does not keep the dogs out of flower and shrub beds contained within the perimter. My neighbor would have purchased a system but went with the underground to keep her dog out of her plantings.

It keeps my dog in the yard when the battery is fresh, but he is smart and tests the limits. When the battery dies, he bolts. Able to keep him in the yard by replacing the battery every couple of months.

We have used this fencing system for well over a year now and it has been great! Our pup was 6-8 months old when we purchased this fence, the training instructions included were easy to follow and understand. Within 2 weeks we no longer had to worry about her taking off or roaming the streets. Fast forward a year...even if she goes outside without her collar on she will not leave the boundary area! One of the things I really love about this unit is the portability. We love to go camping in the summer but hate having to keep the dog chained, but with the converter kit we can now take our fence with and it doesn't take long to establish the new boundary. My online ordering experience and the helpfulness of Gun Dog Supply staff was absolutely AWESOME! Not only were they able to answer all my questions (and hesitations) my product shipped quickly and arrived 2 days before expected! I will order from Gun Dog Supply again when the need arises, until then I look forward to reading their monthly newsletters.

With the PetSafe wireless fence system, I can let my GSP roam loose without any worries. On top of that, the time it took to train my dog to the system was effortless. A couple of sessions and that was it. Plus, there are no wires to accidentally cut... A great product...

This product was very easy to set up the perimeter. The negatives are with the collars. I have had to replace both collars, and they are pretty costly. I have had 4 collars so far, and all of them have lost the beeping function. Therefore, my dogs do not get the warning tones prior to being shocked if they get too close to the boundary.

The fence works extremely well. Our dog learned her boundaries quickly and knows not to get close to it. We have had to replace the batteries in her collar 3x, which I feel is a bit much. The other thing is we've had to replace the collar a few times because the sensor has worn through and fallen off. Otherwise it is a good product and keeps our dog safely in the yard.

We've had our wireless pet fence now for about 5 years. We've had to replace a few collars. They are not chew proof to young dogs. The wireless fence works great. The unit allows us to create the perfect sized perimeter, so that our dogs are not in the street and not in the pastures with the horses. The dogs are so familiar with their boundaries that most of the time we can just leave the collars on without their batteries, and the dogs know where they can and cannot go.
