5.0 out of 5 stars Worked at first then dog started running again, April 9, 2009

I have a chocolate lab and when I first installed the fence he was still a 3 month old puppy. Originally I went with the petsafe stubborn dog fence but upon looking at the size of the collar which is the same as this one I am reviewing, I decided it is too big to put on my cute little puppy. So, I switched to the deluxe version that beeps which worked fine until my dog was 7 months when he realized that it was worth it for him to get the shock and get loose. So I bought this collar, and for the last 5 days he is staying in the yard. He was shocked once when I first bought it and hasn't tried to get out since. I think part of it is the size, beeping, vibration and also the stronger shock. Compared to the light collar, this uses a standard 9V battery which is cheaper and easier to find than the petsafe kind. Doing some research, there are two packages for this receiver, RF-275 and PRF-275. Both are the same. The PRF-275 is an older packaging. It is the same exact receiver on both.
Overall, I would recommend this collar if you have a big size dog.

UPDATE: About a month after I purchased this product, my dog started running the fence again to go play with the neighbors dogs. Now it happens daily! Don't know what to do. My rating would be 3 stars as it all depends on your dog. Amazon wouldn't let me change the star rating.

5.0 out of 5 stars Petsafe Super Receiver/collar, January 18, 2008

Needed a Super Receiver/collar for our Beagle for our invisible fence unit. Our Beagle would just run through the fencing with the regular collars. This one is working great as it sends a signal the beagle can respect. The regular collars may work for the very small dogs - this one is for the more stubborn variety.

After a couple of escape attemps, my very stubborn Boxer decided that it wasn't worth "correction" and now respects his boundries. Other systems were not powerful enoungh but this one seems to have done the trick- I hope!
