Problem Solved!: Training and Behavior Guides

If like me you love doing everything by hand, PetSafe is for you! I've tried several brands. PROBLEM SOLVED! It's easy to install, the main box is easy to use and works great! The collars stay on the dog and work even with ROUGH play. Know your breeds and how thick wire you need. Do you have a "STIFF" athletic dog like me? (Labs, Shorthair and Petes) There is a HEAVY DUTY STUFF wire made specifically for Petsafe. BUY IT WITH THE "PETSAFE" SYSTEM. TIP: Buy batteries and change them every 3 days…

Pros
  • Outstanding Overall Performance
Cons
  • Boring Packaging

Terrible product for radio and wireless fences

I've run 1000 feet of uninterrupted premium cable underground. When I plugged in the transmitter it started beeping and the loop indicator didn't light up. After troubleshooting according to the manual, a wire is said to have broken somewhere. I removed about 200 feet of wire for testing and the wire was in perfect condition. Then I decided the transmitter must be bad, so I ordered another one. The second block did the same. I decided to ohm the wire to make sure it wasn't broken and the wire…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Strong enough to stop an elephant

is available. It hasn't been installed for a very long time. The adjustment range of the correction force is very useful, indeed absolutely necessary. Using an old fence controller (another well-regarded brand) I was able to test it by placing my fingers on the pins and walking to the fence line. This one comes with a no-touch ad, but it's for smarter folks than me. Initially, I set the strength to 5, which almost blew my arm off in a jet rush. I believe setting 5 will stop the elephant. 3 is…

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!

Easy to use, SO USEFUL!

I am very happy with PetSafe. This is the second collar we have bought and I highly recommend using a 9 volt battery for the collar as the old one we had will not hold a charge. We chose the stubborn dog model because my 10 month old Weim/Lab mix WON'T stop jumping on it and opening the door! It was so annoying and we tried all sorts of approaches for months until we decided he needed a good release to stop him. He immediately fully respected the border. There will be a warning beep if it gets…

Pros
  • Impressive looks

Good product

Good product. One of our property lines has a slope and my dogs can get almost to the top of the fence before it alarms/shocks them. I set this up over the course of a few weeks and gradually shortened the row of flags, crossing fewer instances of them. I'm in a village and surrounded by family neighbors so it doesn't matter. Unfortunately the border on the other side of this fenced area is much wider and I have to pull them back when they cross the border or they won't come back into my yard…

Pros
  • WATERPROOF COLLAR: Battery operated waterproof collar can be submerged up to 3 feet underwater; The collar is adjustable to fit neck sizes from 6" to 28".
Cons
  • old

So far I like it

This is a rare product that is well designed, well made and well documented. The installation instructions were excellent (unlike almost anything you buy these days). And frankly, they should be, because this is an electronic system that only works properly if it's installed correctly. If you take your time, read carefully, and follow the instructions, you'll end up with a system that works great. I had to create a limit of about 3 acres. In addition to this controller, I purchased 16 gauge…

Pros
  • RUN PREVENTION: the correction level is increased when your pet tries to run through the border zone; Automatic safety cut-off stops correcting after 30 seconds
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other picks
