 Tried all those wires; this is much better! November 22, 2008
If you are tired of repairing your wire in the conventional systems, you will love this. Pleasantly surprised by the wide radius provided, and our dog, already conditioned to flags and the zap, quickly adapted to the rather oddly shaped perimeter. Will be moving soon, and it goes with us for sure.
A lifesaver November 16, 2008
This has been a wonderful purchase - we live very close to a heavily-traveled road and prior to buying this, we found our dog chasing squirrels into that road.br /br /Since then, our dog knows her boundaries (and figured them out almost immediately) and we have not had any such scares.br /br /Worth the price.
8 dogs at once and flawless !! October 26, 2008
About to order another collar and noticed the unhappy comments. Thought another review might help someone. I started with 2 beagles (maximum wanderlust this duo), a German shephard, and mixed corgy/jack russell. I spent 3 to 6hr a week trying to recover my beagles and was frustrated to the point of almost giving them up before I bumped into the wireless collar system. My girlfriend is involved in a rescue group and so we have accumulated other dogs large and small. I keep adding collars to the system; currently up to 8 collars. The dogs learn their boundary limits quickly and it especially turned my beagles into "stay-at-home dogs". I am on a large farm with many horses and this keeps the dogs in check so they are not trying to make new friends with the horses, llamas or other livestock or more importantly not chasing them. br / Several points some mentioned in others reviews that I thought may have been part of the problem setting the system up. Keep the broadcast radio unit off the ground and put it about 3-4 ft up on a wall or table as the company recommends. That seems to keep the signal strength more uniform about the broadcast radius. I too noticed some idiosyncrasies with the broadcast boundary distances but I think it has more to do with the height off the ground the collar is held as you test it; the dog will have it at a consistent height. Some minor variance in boundary distance from large to small dogs may be due to their height difference but it doesn't amount to any significant differences dog-to-dog in the overall boundary distance.br /br /The batteries will run out quickly on a given individual dog during their 1st month and maybe their 2nd month because they "test" their limits; you might increase the correction level 1 notch (eg. level 2 to 3 or level 3 to 4) so they have a stronger dis-incentive to try that. br /br /Check your batteries on each dog weekly to make sure they have electricity; my dogs have been so conditioned that even if their battery is stone-cold dead they do not try to go past where they know their boundary is. After the dog learns his boundary the batteries will usually last a couple of months.br /br /The collar clip came unsnapped once on one of my beagles when rough-housing with one of the other dogs and I found it in the middle of the driveway when I returned home; the beagle was still in boundary sleeping in the sun.br /br /This system has been a Godsend keeping my dogs safe, off the roads, away from the livestock and yet free to be dogs playing in their own space. Hope this helps. br /br / br /br /
Very easy to use October 24, 2008
Very easy to use and setup was quick. I originally had the Petsafe wired version and had trouble with the buried lines after just a few years of use. I like the idea of being able to take this one on trips and still keep my dog contained. My only complaint is the range is not as large as I had hoped. I have to keep the unit on the back wall of my house. Even then, the range does not extend the distance of my moderately sized yard.
My dog's a houdini! October 9, 2008
I have a 4 yr old spitz mix who weighs about 75 lbs and has been able to escape from just about anything! Hills and rocks on my 1 1/2 acres make a fence impossible. Besides, it would have to be 10ft tall! Annie is very intelligent and until recently has been a very good natured dog. I think always having to be on a chain or in a pen started to change her demeanor for the worse. Against all odds of having the wireless fence work (sloping landscape, metal in the house, etc. etc.) I decided out of desperation and sympathy for the dog to try the Petsafe wireless system. I finally found a place in the house where it would work properly and give me the signal. I set it for about a 70ft radius, put the flags up, turned the shock up to the highest level (due to her size and stubornness). I started the training (per instructions). After she got "corrected" twice, she wouldn't go out of the house for 3 days! I was just sick for what I thought I had done to my dog. But I kept working with her. It's been about 2 weeks now and all I can say is that it is just wonderful! She is able to go outside (free from the leash) and wander a big area. She will not go anywhere near the flags (even with distractions such as the golf cart (which she loves to follow) or other people or dogs. I now have the collar on "beep only". It is so great to give my dog the freedom she needs!! Wish I had done it sooner!!!Petsafe IF-300 Wireless Pet Containment System
