Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

It's easy to keep your pet safe and secure in its own backyard without installing an expensive physical enclosure thanks to this in-ground radio fence system from Petsafe. The system comes complete with all components needed for quick setup. Just bury the wire, set up visual boundaries with the included flags, and attach the receiver-collar to the pet's neck. The collar emits a warning tone if the transmitter detects that the animal is approaching the established boundary. If the animal ignores the warning and crosses the boundary line, the system issues a very benign but corrective electric stimulation through the metal probes on the receiver-collar. The collar adjusts to fit pets large and small and is extremely lightweight, quickly teaching pets to stay in the boundaries designated by the radio fence while offering optimal freedom and comfort. The purchase includes a transmitter with power adapter, a step-by-step installation guide, 500 feet of boundary wire and 50 boundary flags. And, the system works with multiple pets (additional receiver collars required). Great for use in small and average size yards up to 1/3 of an acre, the system will also cover up to 25 acres with additional wire and flags (sold separately).

Product Description

PetSafe's In-Ground fence pet containment systems provide your pet with freedom and safety while costing thousands less than conventional fencing. It's quick and easy to install, reliable and safe, and with proper training, a very effective solution. A lightweight receiver is worn on your pet's collar, which picks up the signal and alerts your pet as he nears the underground boundary. Once your pet is properly trained, he will learn to stay in the boundaries designated by the radio fence. Includes 500 feet of boundary wire and 50 boundary flaps, enough to cover about one-third acre. For use in the US only. This unit is compatible with all US 110v outlets and are not to be used with 220v international voltage.

I bought this three years ago, no problem, nill. I LOVE IT!! It came with specific instructions on setup and detailed instructions for training. Those who don't love it, either didn't follow the directions or didn't follow through with the training, both of which take time and commitment. I even trained my friends' dogs on it with extra collars I keep around, so their dogs wouldn't dig in my flowers. I have had to replace the batteries in the collars only once in the three years. I got it because one of my dogs was a jumper...but no more. You'll love it, I promise.

It was the best purchase I've ever made. When introducing your pet to the device, be patient. Make sure to use positive reinforcement. The directions tell you it is a 30-day training process with you dog. It actually only took 2-days for us. I repeat, it was the best purchase I've ever made!

5.0 out of 5 stars Petsafe works with Yorkie, April 1, 2010

This review is from: PetSafe In-Ground Radio Fence System with Wire and Flags PRF-3004W (Misc.)

We are using the Petsafe with a cat collar on a 9 lb Yorkie. I was concerned about the strength of the correction but the settings work great. We started with the lowest one but eventually moved it to the second lowest. You can see him stop and back up when he gets it. However after about 2 weeks of training per the instructions he hardly ever gets the correction. He knows where to stop. We knew he was not afraid of it when he got the receiver off of the table one day and brought it to me to take him out. It is so great to watch him stay right inside the flags and bark at the construction workers across the street, others dogs being walked by the yard and even deer and antelope which he loves to chase. We had a hard time imagining it work this well. The guy across the street says he wondered why he didn't come visit him any more. We are now removing flags and alternating letting him out with the collar on and off. I expect within the next couple of weeks we can retire the collar. I can only report my experience which has been great for an excitable small dog who loves to run after anything that moves.
