Trained our 4 yr old Great Dane on it who had only ever used fenced yards and our new 5 month old pit pup. Both are high speed runners but hear that beep and run back to the house asap

This is great for our dogs they learned the boundaries in the first day and they really have more freedom to run and play and we don’t have to sit and watch them all the time and that makes our lives so much easier.

I gave this product a second chance. It's working better than I thought. Jack is now staying in the yard and not going out on the road. I feel relieved now that Jack knows his territory and is safe. Thanks again, I would recommend this product to everyone.

This is an excellent product, in my experience, and I’ve had it over five years. I use it with a rambunctious German shepherd and added a housemate’s stubborn little husky; I have two transmitters so they have a little over an acre where they can romp to their hearts’ content. My pup is out there a good four hours total on an average nice day.Setting up the second receiver was easy, and adding the second collar was just a matter of charging it and putting it on the dog. Make sure the receiver is placed in a fairly high location; I have one in my attic.I’ve taken this when traveling and staying in other houses. Bring some flags if you do this, but it was a great way to confine my dog w/o having to tie her.I keep the correction for my shepherd at the top level, and it’s remarkably effective. The deer in my fields know as well as she does where the perimeter is, and the rotten creatures will come within 15 ft of her (I swear they’re snickering at her).I get 2-3 weeks on a charge with the collar turned on all the time. Original collar... at least 5 years old. Be sure you remove it during power outages. Also, ALWAYS MAKE SURE IT’S OFF BEFORE LETTING THE DOG IN A CAR (the metal will block the transmitter signal). And especially resist the temptation to leave the collar on the dog all the time, esp. when left alone: power outages and other problems do come up.It was a pain to determine the perimeter on a rocky and steeply sloped part of my yard (the rest was easy). The base transmits in a sphere, so take that into account during setup, and don’t be surprised if the perimeter is quite irregular. I kept checking every 2-3 feet when placing flags (for large properties you might want to get extra flags). The perimeter sometimes varies as much as 3-4’. Trained my dog by walking inside the perimeter every day for about 3 days, and after that she had it down. Like a lot of dogs, she knows what it means when she’s wearing the collar and when she’s not, but she still stays in the perimeter from habit, and many other dogs will probably do the same. She looks forward to having the collar put on, since she knows it means she can go chase squirrels. Some dogs will take off as soon as you remove the collar, though, so be careful. Truly devious dogs will hang out in the audible correction range and let it wear down the battery so they can run the perimeter. I suggest replacing the dog in this case. (Okay, maybe not)Customer service is either Canada- or US-based, and they were very helpful whe I had questions about the correction levels. The rep mentioned that part of their training involved testing the correction levels on their own palms to get an idea exactly what they felt like. I tried it: ouch! But it’s not inhumane (for the dog). Once they know the perimeter, there’s generally no reason why they’ll need to feel the correction more than a couple of times. The audible signal starts well before the correction, so they have plenty of time to decide if they’re really going to be stupid.Problems: I’ve had to resynch the transmitters twice now after power outages. That’s all.This product is more expensive than many on the market, but in my experience the quality, design, and customer service make it well worth the cost. Can’t find a manufacturing location on the base, but the collar is (or at least was) made in Canada.I recommend this product for anyone with a reasonably sane dog and a property that’s at least moderately level, with no metal obstructions. Place transmitter at least 4’ away from large appliances, radiators, and other sources of interference. Once it’s set up, it’s great!

It so will i don't have to worry about the dog's going out of the yard

We have a rather unruled hound/Shepard mix that’s about a year old, this saved his life. Saved his life cause it kept us from killing him. (Jk). We always used a training Coller on him with mixed results. As someone else said in reviews, I accidentally had the collar to high the first time and bam! Soon as he here’s that beep he moves back. I never even used the flags. This has made our lives and his sooooo much better. We don’t have to watch him constantly anymore and if he gets wound up we just let him out the door. We have a yard about an acre size with fields behind us and a lake in our front yard. This product is awesome. If it smoked tomorrow I’d buy another in a second

Bought this to keep our dog in the yard but give him a little more freedom than a leash. It worked great and he couldn't be happier being able to run around where we actually are.The fact that it is portable is a huge plus since we take the dog to the inlaws frequently and we can just bring it with us.

This has been the best option I have found for a wireless fence. I bought this for a standard poodle. It only took a day for Phoebe to listen for the beep and she would stop. The charge last longer than expected. I love the convienence of being able to take it anywhere. This is definitely a must have if you have a wanderer on in this case a squirrel chaser.

Easy set up and great reception area . Works perfect!

I adopted an older dog with a tendency to wander. After him getting out of the yard a few times I started looking into other options.This thing popped up and I gotta say it is awesome. Didn't have to set up wires, dig lines or anything. Plug it in charge the collar and go. You set your radius, and once your dog gets to the edge of it it sets a tone and after the intensity increases if your dog deosnt back off they get shocked. However there is no vibration so if your dog is deaf or hard of hearing that may end up being an issue. But they do supply you with a bunch of flags to put around the perimeter so your dog can see thier physical boundary.My biggest problem I have with this unit is the battery life of the collar, which is about 4 hours new. On the plus side however my dog has now learned the boundaries of his yard and I almost never use the collar now.Mostly now I use it when we go to a friend's house or somewhere new. It takes about 5 minutes to set it up with my new perimeters and Bubba gets to have fun and I get to relax a bit knowing he will stay in the area.
