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.

This product takes a little bit to install. Read the instructions carefully, lay out the wire, test it, and then cover it up. I followed all the instructions, including on how to train your dog with it. And it works well. My dog learned very quickly on the lowest setting and can now be left in our backyard without fear.

It worked really well in the beginning, but after a month I found that I had to keep turning it up because the collar wasn't as sensitive. This also happened with my previous pet safe fence/collar. You have to keep turning up the sensitivity over time as the dog was able to keep getting closer. The battery in the collar is still good. I like that it now uses 9 volt in the collar instead of button cells. I can use rechargeable batteries now and 9 volt seems to last longer. Over all it works well and beeps first giving the dog time to get away before getting shocked. I gave it 4 stars because it's pricey for what you get.

I have a one year old Alaskan malamute and for the life of me could not keep her in our yard. I have a already fenced in yard but she would dig under everywhere and get out. After months of trying to fix the problem to no avail I purchased the wire fence. Let me start with first by saying it wasn’t the easiest to instal. There are multiple ways of installing this and because we have an existing fence we decided to go with the method it recommended and weave the wire through the chain link fence. Sounds easy enough but it would always get tangled and was quite the task of pulling hundreds of feet of wire (our yard is almost an acre). You also have to weave not only
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

I never leave reviews but I felt the need to with this as I think this is a horrible product that is insanely complicated for how poorly it works. Spent a lot of time and money trying to get this to work. First one I received the transmitter didn’t fit with the plug we received (seems to be very cheap quality). Amazon was great and sent a replacement so we could switch out the transmitter and plug but it still doesn’t work as it should. PetSafe The product description stated that it should allow beeps to begin within a foot or so according to the instructions. Not the case at all. I couldn’t turn this down past 5 before the wires connecting the transmitter set it off. Customer service actually advised me that any metal or electronics within 5ft could cause interference. They told me to remove all metal and electronics nearby which is not possible in our yard. Hot tub, metal fence, bbq, lawnmower are all common items people may have in their yard so I am amazed that this would cause interference with this system and that it is not clearly disclosed somewhere! They were great at first saying they wanted to help me find a solution but now it has been more than a week with no response. I am so angry with how much time and money I spent on what should be simple considering this is a small, square yard. I can’t speak for how this works in an empty field but I can’t imagine how frustrating it would be to set up in a space larger than my yard. So frustrating, I will be returning this ASAP.

We don't know if we like it as yet. We would like to know if the wire we have on hand can be added to the fence wire to extend the yard for the dog. We have tried the site regarding the fence but it is not at all helpful. Unfortunately, our puppy ate the instructions (we so need this fence). So, we need some help with getting it set up. It looks like it should be great but wish your site gave more information. Any help there?

Collar works awesome. My dog actually stays in the yard now. The collar that came with our under ground fence didn’t shock hard enough to keep our stubborn lab in the yard. She would just run through it.
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 moved into a house that already had an in-ground invisible fence installed. When we adopted a stray Pit Bull we were concerned about how well it would work with such a strong dog with unknown behavior. Since the dog had run off before and there are many dogs in the neighborhood I had my doubts that this would work at all for our situation. Our yard was way too big to fence in so we resorted to tying him on a lead which he hated. I purchased this "stubborn dog" model since pit bulls have a high pain tolerance and we were having issues controlling him as is. I was so weary of even trying him on it that the collar sat in a drawer for a couple months!

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 took in a rescue dog a couple of months ago. He was let go by his former owner because he kept running away and getting picked up by the pound. We were asked by the rescue association to take him in because we have a large fenced in yard with a 6 foot high wood and wire fence. Right away "Freckles" found out a way to get out under the fence. We closed up the hole but he ran away again the next day. This went on for weeks. We would fix the holes and Freckles would find a new place to get out. Thankfully he had a tag with his name and the rescue association's phone number so we would get a phone call within a couple of hours from some friendly neighbor who had captured Freckles.

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.

I bought this item about a month ago for our two year old yellow lab. First off, the collar that comes with the unit is a total joke. It's unusable, it's like a cat collar from the Dollar Store. First thing I did was buy a new collar and then use the old collar for a stencil to drill new holes through the collar I purchased. Be careful, because once you drill the holes and add the sensor the collar can't be adjusted smaller or bigger very easily. Make sure you measure your dogs neck carefully.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's GREAT. But, it all comes down to what kind of dog you have

I've had this system installed for almost two years now. It has delivered on every promise and saved us from having to purchase a fence and gate to go between our home and detached garage.

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.
