I was desperate to contain my dog but couldn't spend a lot on an inground fence. I read all of the reviews for this product and purchased at a Home store. I was Very Very happy with the ease of set up and training. It took me awhile to get the perimeter just right. As it is a circle, I do have spots where it goes into my neighbors yard. Training was easy. I followed the instructions and trained her on a leash. I let her go, closed my eyes, and hoped for the best. She ran to the front porch when ever she got shocked. It didn't take long for her to get it! I also trained my moms dog too. My mom's dog comes over for weeks at a time and we just purcased an additional collar for her. She is a lab and a little harder to train (I had to put her level of shock up a few notches)She cried when she got shocked the first time and kept going deeper into the shock zone. I had to spend more time with her then my dog, but she too figured it out quickly. She ran for the porch as well when the beeping started. My dog rarely wears her collar anymore and will not leave the yard. If she does we just put it on her for a few days as a reminder. The battery life is short, I buy extras. I take the unit with me to friends. Chloe runs in the yard, and then runs for the house, or to me, when she hears the beeping. A Great Product! Now to take care of that barking!

I'm very impressed with this product. We have a new puppy and wanted to make sure she stayed safe. This keeps her contained in the yard without having to dig a trench in the yard. I would highly recommend this to anyone with a dog.

This is a great product. We've used it for a few years. Our 62# dog quickly learned the boundary line. The only problem we've had is false "corrections" inside the house. Any large metal object that blocks the signal can trigger it. We noticed it with the fridge and our brass bed. When I called tech support, they told me not to let the dog wear it in the house - very helpful......
So, if not for this, I would give more stars. Even with this limitation, it was worth every dime and then some. Because we've had it so long, the dog seldom needs the collar to stay within his boundary.

Two words: Jack Russells! A freedom loving, free range aspiring, breed that has been known to throw themselves through screen doors, eat their way through drywall and tunnel-not feet but yards-in order to evade incarceration. I have two (OK this is NOT a review of my sanity)! They both have both "run through" the in-ground wired containment system when it was fully deployed. Once outside the containment they have been resistant to return, knowing that they would be "jolted" for the second time upon their return. My PetSafe Wireless system is superior in every way. Set-up, control of strength of "discouragement" and the 25 second "encouragement" to return to the "safe zone" all make this a dream for the "born to run" Jack owner.
Three caveats: 1. The collar receiver is considerably bigger than its in-ground wired version. On a small breed you wonder if its a "burden." (My boys don't seen to notice.) 2. The snap style collar that came with the system came un-snapped during a daring under-the-fence escape by my elder Jack and of course the containment was rendered null and He voided the yard. 3. The containment area is 360 degree circular and may not conform exactly to the specific area you need to contain the dog in.

I had both a chain link fence and a buried-wire Innotek system. When enticed by a fleeing squirrel or bunny, my 25 lb. border collie mix (Lucy) would occasionally run through the shock fence and jump over the chain link fence. Lucy hasn't left my yard since I installed the wireless fence a month ago. The fact that she can no longer dash through the shock field but keeps getting shocked until she returns has made a huge difference. I had read some customer reviews of the wireless system that mentioned unexpected collar activations inside the house. I had experienced this problem with my old buried wire system. With that system, the collar would beep occasionally when my dogs got close to TVs or computers. My dogs have, consequently, been scared of TVs for years. Now that I've used the wireless system for about a month, the dogs will actually sit with me when I'm watching TV. Hurray!
