Customer Experience and Opinions

 Collar really works, March 05 ,2010
William Dallas (Oak Ridge, TN) reveals:
Works great. Be careful to start on the lower settings or else your pet may have a bad experience and not leave the house for fear of being zapped!!

 Does not work with my transmitter, March 01 ,2010
Nanookh (Caribbean) reveals that:
Beware, the description of this product does not mention that it ONLY works with a RF-100 transmitter. Unfortunately this is only revealed after you almost cut your fingers by opening the horrible clam-shell packing and see it written on the reciever. When you have a RF-125 transmitter, like I have, this thing doesn't work. I will have to see if Amazon is willing to refund an opened package.

 Works great, January 07 ,2010
Daisy Picker (Tulsa, OK) suggests that:
Works great...we were surprised at how responsive our dogs were to the system. They only crossed the boundary line once, and that's all they needed. They hear the beep and move back right away.

In Ground Fence for Small Dogs

Customer Experience and Opinions

 Stopped the digging, November 06 ,2009
M. Rychlik reveals:
We adopted a small dog from a nearby shelter and installed a dog door, giving him access to the backyard. Within the first week, we realized he was an escape artist. We needed to find some way of keeping him safely in the backyard without having to lock him in the house. A friend at work suggested an in-ground fence system. She had great success stopping her dog from jumping the fence with this type system. I was hoping it would work to stop digging and it did. The system was fairly easy to install. It did take some time to dig around the fence to install the wire, but no big deal. There was more than enough wire provided to go all the way around the backyard. I got this particular system because it claimed to be designed for small dogs. The collar was easily adjusted to fit. A few flags were placed around to indicate the warning area and the system was set on a low setting. We went through the training steps, and in no more than a day or two, he was completely trained. The only complaint was the battery for the collar did not work when we took it out of the package.

 No longer skeptical, August 09 ,2009
Craig M. Schmeiser (Cedar Falls, Iowa United States) thinks that:
I was somewhat skeptical whether the inground fence would work for my dog. She is a 5-year old Shichon that loves to chase squirrels, rabbits and cats. We decided to give it a try and installed the system about a month ago. During the initial training I had the collar set to "2" on the 1 to 5 scale and it didn't do much. Then I set it to "3" and allowed her to venture past the white flags. She gave a small yelp and immediately came back in the yard and headed for the house. It took a few days for her to be comfortable in the yard again. But now, a month later, she loves going out and we don't have to worry about her running off. When she sees rabbits or squirrels she keeps a very close eye on them and may chase a little, but once she gets close to the boundary she stops.

I've heard many comments about the RFA-188 battery in the collar not lasting very long so I ordered a couple spares, but I'm still on the original battery and it seems to be holding up great. We take the collar off whenever she's in the house. When she's in the yard the collar takes very little energy since she usually doesn't get close enough to the boundary for the tone to sound. One comment I do have regarding the collar is that it is not very compliant on either side of the control module so it doesn't fit all that well on my dog's small neck (approximately 12" circumference). The module doesn't hang at the bottom of her neck the way you think it would. It seems to work its way up around to the side of her neck. The good news is, it seems to work just as well no matter where it ends up.

Installation was straight forward, although you should allow a full weekend to get it done. The control box allows the boundary zone to be easily adjusted. I have just a little over 500 feet of wire and a setting of a little over 6 gives a boundary width of about three feet.

It is so nice to see our dog running loose in the yard instead of constantly getting her rope all tangled. She really enjoys her freedom. I highly recommend this product.

 Great option!, July 05 ,2009
Roman (Kilgore, Texas) informs us that:
Even after a new fence my two dogs liked to dig out. I thought over all my options and went with the wireless fence. Well this put a stop to it. Easy installation and the collars are nice and light for small dogs. I can sleep easy knowing my dogs are not roaming the neighborhood! I should have gotten this system along time ago. I can even leave my gates open when I am working in the yard and both my dogs know not to go through the gate.

Customer Experience and Opinions

 Does not keep beagle in yard, December 23 ,2009
Calico Smith thinks:
We bought this updated fence in hoping it would keep the beagle in the yard. It didnt work. He still runs right threw the fence. We know fence is "hot" as the light shows us the connection is good. We tried highest settings on everything we could and beagle still runs through it. He won't come back through it, but he has not issues running out of it.

Anyone need a beagle?

 Can't say enough!!, April 24 ,2009
R. Williams (Eastern NC) says:
Works great. I have a golden retreiver and a yellow lab. I have a 5 ft fence for my backyard and the past year they have been digging out, busting the gate open and trying to climb over. I bought this and it has taken care of my problems. I have been a month with them staying in the yard. They learned it very quickly (less than a hour) that when the collar beeps they need to back up. They each got zapped only a couple of times. Well worth the money, just wish I had bought it much sooner.

 Great system, October 17 ,2008
Dawn (Upper Sandusky, OH United States) says:
We have used this system with great success for about 6 months with no trouble. We use it with a young golden retriever and a yorkie/bichon. We bought the small dog collar for her and it works fine with the system. We trained both very young and neither has left the boundary while the collar is on. They even stay put for quite a while without collars. They figure it out after a while though. We tried the system with our older dog but he became very unhappy and would barely go in the yard. Eventually we got him comfortable again and without the collar he stays put. It even works when we go to the neighbors with the same system and they recognize the beeps and learn the boundary fast.
