🐱 PetSafe In-Ground Cat Fence: Waterproof, Tone & Static Correction, Safe Stretch-Section Collar for Cats 6 lb & Above Review

This product is not suitable for loose cats. I think it should have been in the product description. We have been trying to train our cat for 3 weeks with no success. Despite approaching the flags and backing away on the leash, as soon as she was taken off the leash she jumped the fence several times. The last time this happened on the 4th "Correction" setting, she was trying very hard and got a bladder infection from the electric shock. Animals interpret this type of "fence" as a trap and try…

Best money I've ever spent on my cats' peace of mind. I lost two to coyotes, but now there's an invisible wire attached to the base of our wooden fence. All cats stay within the perimeter. I wish I had found this sooner. There was some trial and error that got everything working properly. At first the collar dangled a little around the cat's neck. We also ran the wire straight over the top of the fence. When they got up, he just squeaked and they flew over the fence. It now works up and down…

I wanted it to work. Spent $300 to buy a kit and extra collar. I have a small garden with a wall around it. I couldn't get it to work. I tried putting it close to the wall but the cats just jumped on the wall when the device started beeping. I tried making the range of the beeps bigger but they still jumped. I wish I knew that before spending money. I think this is a great product if you have a large garden. It took some work to get the device to make a full circle and then check the area if…

I bought this collar and internal receiver as a last resort to keep my son's cat out of the room where I keep my incubator and brooder with chicks. I should have done this much sooner. It's expensive, very expensive if you ask me, but it all depends on how much work and how many tears you want to save. For me this is the solution to what I need. It will not harm the cat as it is smart. enough to recognize the beep as a warning. I don't even think the collar ever shocked the cat because she…

I've spent a lot of time installing this system (Note: the PSU has to be INDOOR and the cable has to go through a full cycle from/to it - so it's not an easy task ! ). Then I diligently trained my cat for another 2 weeks - both in the "guided" and in the "tethered" method. I took care of my cat the first time I let her walk without a harness, just with a sensory collar. Everything was fine, but in the first hour when I let him roam around alone, he immediately crossed the border and disappeared

In principle it is worth investing to protect my cat, but it could be better. This is constructive criticism of the manufacturer. The transmitter unit is pretty crappy. Thin, light plastic. Tricky connections. Not what you would expect from a $200 investment. It has field width adjustment, which is handy. The receiver collar is large, but in order for it to work, it needs to fit very snugly around the kitten's neck. I tried to tighten it several times but it didn't make contact with my cat's…

UPDATE: It's been over a year and I'm still very happy with this product! The battery lasts a long time and my kittens have never been happier :) We built a pergola too close to our house and one kitten decided to climb on it and climb onto the roof, but after a simple modification of the pergola everything was fine. I don't normally do this, but I've had this product for about half a month now and it's great so far! I have two cats, one definitely more adventurous/fearful than the other, so I…

In September 2017 my cat disappeared. It came out on the street and one of my neighbors grabbed it and gave it to a relative who lived 40 miles from me. I didn't understand it at first, but due to some strange circumstances I had a pretty good idea of where it was. After 4 months of non-stop searching and posting, this person finally called me and gave me my cat back. I'm surprised I turned down the $1,000 reward I was offered. He is a purebred Bengal. I bought this collar and enough in the…
