Product description
Persistent pooch. Hard-headed or hard of hearing. Now you can still keep them playing safely in the yard and nowhere else. With 4 higher-intensity settings than our other collars, even dogs that are difficult to train respond well to the Stubborn Dog In-Ground Fence system. The safe, gentle static correction works so effectively that most dogs learn to stop in their tracks at the warning beep that precedes the correction. The vibration option is ideal for hearing-impaired dogs, or as an alternative to static correction.

Through the bottom but then come
Back around through the top and your fence must be at least 6 feet high. We had three breaks that were easy enough to splice back together. You then have to have the home base of the unit inside a warm place. We have a heated garage so we had to drill through the wall and connected the wires. After finally installing it all I could not believe that I now have a dog that no longer escapes!!!!!!!! My husband thought I was crazy and it would never work BUT it really did. She now doesn’t even go close to the outer fence and it was all soooo worth doing. I will say I have a friend who tried this without the existing fence and their dog would just run right through it.. that’s my story and I hope it all works out for anyone else who purchases this product. Cheers
Collar is a little heavy so we only put it on her when she’s going outside.
Definitely great quality for the price. I have recommended it a few times already.

We used a behavioralist to teach us how to work with our dog better and one of our final lessons we decided to set up the flags and see how he responded with the collar. We guided him around the yard on very light rope so he could learn the boundary. When we were finally ready to test it we had it set on 5 (max). When he decided to go beyond the boundary he was yelping and thrashed in a pretty disturbing way. He tested it a second time and again loud screaming as he ran right back to us. This was hard to watch and if I was doing it again I would start with the lowest correction settings like the instructions recommended. The result is that the dog has been very skittish outside now and it has taken quite a while to get him comfortable being outside again Overall though he loves the freedom and it's so much easier just letting him go out the door especially in the winter months.
I highly recommend these systems. Yes my dog is pretty spooked by the boundaries to this day. However, I now have the piece of mind that my pit bull won't go sprinting through the neighborhood and get in trouble or danger. Earlier this week as I let him out and a cat was less than 10 feet away. He quickly chased it for a few seconds and stopped immediately as the cat ran out of the yard. Perfect!
The best thing about this particular collar is that it takes 9 volt batteries. If you read reviews of other PetSafe collars people complain a lot about the proprietary battery. The fact that this uses 9 volts is great. I haven't even replaced it yet in 6 months of use. This collar as a result is bulky and heavy. I take if off whenever my dog is in the house. The actual collar part is not very high quality and I could envision replacing it down the road if a clip breaks or something.
Pros
- It works! Your dog will stay in the yard.
- Uses 9 volt batteries and gets good battery life.
- Highest correction probably too strong but works on big or aggressive dogs.
Cons
- Heavier and bulkier than standard Petsafe collar. You won't want to leave it on all the time.
- The strap on the collar is flimsy and will probably fail before the actual receiver does.

We finally realized that we could not win. Our escape artist was smarter than us. So I started to do research on electronic fences. The best rated fence is the wireless kind, but you need to have a yard that is a perfect circle for that to work. Our yard is a rectangle. If Freckles was allowed to go to the back of the yard the correction area was outside of our fence on the sides. The dog would have been able to get out of the fence and not be "corrected" (shocked) until he was in the neighbor's yard.
So I settled on an in-ground fence. Freckles is a Brittany. Brittanys, like beagles, are known for following their noses and running off. He is not being bad - just chasing birds, butterflies, squirrels or his favorite - a rabbit.
In the front yard I used an electric edger to dig the shallow 1" trench. This is several inches above the utilities in the front yard - so no worries. In the back yard I ran the wire along the top rail of the wood fence and used plastic zip ties to tie the wire to the top of the wire fence. It took a day to install the fence.
When I installed the battery in the collar I had the setting on the wired unit turned all the way up. So I got a shock. It wasn't that bad. It surprised me more than hurt me. I turned the setting down to half as much and now the correction area is within 10 feet of the wire.
As Freckles approaches the fence he hears an audible tone to warn him to turn around. If that does not stop him, he gets a shock. Within an hour he learned to stop and turn around when the tone sounded. He learned quickly that he can not go out of the front door or garage door - even with the door wide open.
As I showed Freckles his new boundaries I told him to "be careful" as he approached the correction area. It was funny that he was very in tune to my warning to "be careful". When I told him to be careful he would stop and look at me - way before he heard the tone. He is really a smart dog.
Finally our escape artist can be free to run the yard and we don't have to worry about him finding a new place to get under the fence.
It should be noted that the brains of the system must be inside the house. It can not be exposed to rain or freezing temperatures. I installed ours above the garage door. I ran the wire along the door jamb and then into the ground. It should also be noted that corners can not be run at 90 degrees. All angles must have a 3 foot arch to keep the corner from becoming a dead zone where the dog can get out. The 500 feet that came with the fence was not enough. Our friendly home depot sold us another 500 feet of wire for $25. The wire is not in the electronic section. It was with the ceiling fans.
After a lot of research, I decided to purchase the fence from Amazon. They have always been great with their return policy. They also had the best price. I paid the extra $10 to have the fence sent to me in two days. You only save about $40 on a used unit from eBay with a good chance of getting a used unit that doesn't work.
The lighting protection unit by this manufacturer is not very well rated. So I purchased a $20 surge protector to plug the extension cord into. I ran the extension cord from the light in the garage door opener to the fence system "brains" above the garage door. I attached the wires in the garage and on the wood fence with small 1 inch fence staples - being very careful not to puncture the wire. Where I had to coil up the extension cord I used a 16 penny nail to hang the wire on.
So the bottom line is that this thing is great. Highly recommended.

The wire that comes with the unit is pretty thin. My neighbor has an in-ground fence and I saw the wire used for his and it's about three times thicker. He had his installed professionally and paid about $650.
The good news is because the wire is thin it's easy to bury. I just took a flat bladed shovel and waited till after a heavy rain and just made a two inch slit in the ground and inserted the wire, then went back and walked on the thin slit in the ground to close it. Took me about three hours to do 400 ft. If you have rocks, roots, and trees to go through/around or hard soil like shale it will take longer for sure. My ground was very soft when I did it.
So far everything is working well. The new collar is staying on well. The main unit which I put in my shed is working and the wire has no breaks or shorts. I did splice the wire twice and used the two waterproof splicers they provide. If you need more you can use a wire nut and then just shoot the opening full of silicone caulking.
The flags are a little cheap but do their job.
All-in-all for the price it's not a bad unit. We have an acre of woods behind our house and use to keep our lab in a crate when we went out for a few hours. Always returning in 4 hrs. or so to let him out to do his business.
I decided to make it easier on him and myself so I built him a wood deck, bought an Igloo style dog house which I filled with straw, and put up a 400 ft. in-ground fence. We are both now very happy. I am ecstatic actually. No more waking up at 6AM to let the dog out or hurrying home from some place to let the dog out. He runs, chases birds, lays in the sun, and does whatever he wants in his new home. He has only broke out once in 4 weeks so that's pretty good.
I did notice that in the beginning he was afraid of getting shocked so he would stay in a small area around his dog house. But after a couple of weeks he has learned to come within about 3 feet of the flag line. My daughter
would put kibble along the flag line in the safe zone to teach him it was OK to use the full area.
Tucker, our dog, weighs about 85 lbs. and is full of energy but when he hears the beep from his collar meaning he's too close to the fence he immediately backs up. I tested the shock on my hand at level 4 and it does give you a good, little jolt, but nothing serious. I am happy so far with the set and it is working fine. Hopefully it will will last for a few years.
I rated this 4 stars because the collar is a joke. Not sure why they couldn't have spent a few more bucks giving you a decent collar? Also the wire is pretty thin. The sensor and the power supply unit seems to work well and
it's working as we speak so I can't complain.

Installation: The install is easy and straightforward. The tip to use a drill to wind the wire (for areas that you do not want to be secured) works great. Me and my ten year old son knocked out the install in a couple of hours on a 1/4 acre backyard.
Training: As many have mentioned, do not hurry the training. Take your time and follow the instructions to the letter.
My experience using it for 22 months: It works perfectly. However, I quickly realized that part of the reason it works so well is that my dog is really a wimp. We have never had to move the collar setting past the lowest. She has only ever been zapped maybe 4-5 times, including during the training. She hears the buzz and she stops. She will not chase a ball past the line and trample our garden, and she will not escape into the street. If you have a dog that simply doesn't care about the pain and would rather deal with it to get out of your property, then this may not work for you. To illustrate how well this has worked for me, I changed the battery in the collar for the first time today. I expect the next battery may last three years or more.
Notes: We hoped that our dog may stop needing the collar to go out. But this has proven false. She still doesn't run away but she is smart enough to test the boundaries and wander past them if she gets a chance. The collar has been great in rain, snow, heat etc. We don't have to worry about a tight fit because the sound it emits is enough to keep her in the yard.
I was so pleased that I was able to place the wires so that it only protected two areas: The vegetable garden, and the opening where she could escape to the street (these areas are pretty far apart). All I had to do was wind the wires according to the instructions everywhere except where I wanted it to act as a fence. In the areas I wanted to it act as a fence, I made sure the single wire stayed at least 5 feet away from the other side of the loop.
What needs improvement? Almost nothing. I do wish there were more accurate settings for how far your dog can be from the wire to make it give the warning ring. But it's close enough to not be a big issue.
