After 2 hours of trying to set up the unit and establish the boundary, we gave up. We would get the collar to beep at a one location, then go back to the same location and it wouldn't beep. We changed the position of the transmitter, changed the battery in the collar, reset the transmitter - all futile. We even had the transmitter sitting out in the middle of the driveway (no cars around) with direct line-of-site to the collar and it was not consistently able to beep at the boundary. No way I would trust this for my dog's safety, not to mention confusing the heck out of her. And to top it off, I bought it from a place (not here on Amazon) that is going to charge me a 20% restocking fee.

After our city dogs escaped numerous times from their new 5.5-acre yard in the country, and after almost losing one to a rattlesnake bite, we decided drastic measures were in order. We bought this item, but it created too small an area for our dogs. They could not go into several of their favorite spots in the yard. Amazon was not willing to do anything about the return or exchange of the product because it took us longer than the return period to get it set up in the first place. But, Petsafe was AWESOME at exchanging the system for the wired version! I highly recommend the brand, given the customer service they provided. They made sure we had a fence we were happy with, and even express delivered the right system when we were sent the wrong one as a result of a miscommunication. We used zip ties to attach the wire to our existing wire fencing, and were able to cover 5.5 acres in less than a day! We love it! Our pups only got shocked twice before they decided never to try escaping again. We have been escape-free for 8 months now, and they never even test the boundaries any more.

We have had this system for a couple of weeks now. I bought it for my one-year-old yorkie-poo. I was a little concerned about the size of the collar (she is only 9 pounds); but it does not seem to bother her. She learned really quickly (within a couple of days) and then she was ready to go out without a leash. She only had to get shocked twice before she learned where the boundaries are. This was well worth the extra money (vs a cheaper in-gound fence) because we did not have to dig up the yard to install it. It makes a nice circle around the house and encompasses the entire front yard and most of the back yard, plenty of running room for a little dog. I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone looking for such a device.

We purchased the wireless pet containment system for our two dogs when we moved into our new home. In our previous home we had the wired system and never had any problems (other than occasionally breaking the wire when planting shrubs). The wireless system we have found to be very unreliable. Signal is not consistent, vehicles interfere with signal and the collar transmitters wear out much too quickly. The company gives us a hard time replacing the collar even though it should be under warranty. We've replaced two of them already. We've had the wireless in place for two years now but will be purchasing wired containment system very soon, as the collars again need replacing and this time are out of warranty period. It is less expensive for us to replace whole system than to keep purchasing collar transmitters.

This was the best investment I made for the safety of my dog work's perfect, you have to follow the direstions like it advertises. But it does the job.
