PetSafe 2-Dog Basic In-Ground Fence System - Easy Install Electric Pet Barrier with Visual Cue Boundary Flags, 2 Waterproof Collars & Indoor Transmitter - Long-Lasting Training System

First off, this was easy to install and my dogs learned it quickly. But please, learn from my mistakes and read this carefully. I bought this in March and have been using this for a while. I personally have it installed through my window. It has been installed since March or April. It clearly says in the instructions to use the surge protector provided. However, I could not get to to “complete the loop” with the surge protector so I just plugged it into the wall. The ground around the window where this comes out of is a little bit softer than the rest of the ground where the fence is dug. So slowly, the wire made its way out of the dirt and was exposed. So of course…my landscaper hits it with the weed eater. I let the dogs out and they quickly realize the fence isn’t working so they run amok. I see them going crazy and go to investigate and see the broken wire. I’m late for work so I just braid them together and say I will deal with it when I get home. Then of course there was a storm that night. I come home and realize that half of my house isn’t getting power. The electrical box shows a couple of tripped circuits so I flip them back and everything seems to work. I was wrong. My tv, playstation, router and modem are all fried. They were plugged into a surge protector but I’m not going to lie, they were cheap and probably more than 10 years old. I investigated and it appears as though during the storm, the wire was struck by lightening, it traveled through the wire and into the transmitter which exploded, and then through the power cord which also exploded. I am very lucky that all I lost was a few electronics and a fish tank (broke from exploding power cord coming out of the outlet). I am 100% to blame for this. I read the instructions but didn’t follow them and my laziness cost me. I literally repurchased the same transmitter, plugged it into a heavy duty surge protector and dug the wires down deeper. I also properly fixed the broken wire with the provided connectors and covered the exposed wire with pipe insulation. The fence works well if you follow the directions.

This works so good for out dogs! The beep is loud and they listen very good when it starts. We have a big yard so we needed to buy more wire. Easy to assemble and put together. They are strong collars and thick so they won't be getting them off easily.

We bought this as an emergency since our pup kept breaking through our wooden fence. When the unit arrived it almost looked as if it had been used and returned since the batteries were already installed and the collars active. We needed it asap so we went ahead and installed it. The build quality of this product is sub par at best. Every component felt cheap to hold and install, but the unit worked well the first 3 weeks. That's when the first trouble started. We only have one puppy that escapes so we only needed the one collar. The collar that we were using literally fell apart. The plastic seam broke and the electronics were hanging out. Fortunately when that happened it disconnected the battery and didn't cause any injury. Unfortunately, the collar stopped working and our pup escaped our yard. We were able to chase him down eventually. We decided to use the included second collar and it worked great for about a week. The second collards battery seemed to have died after about a week of usage. Our pup escaped again. We ordered replacement batteries thinking that the original pair were dead as they had previously been installed prior to ordering the kit. When the new batteries arrived the second collar worked for one day and then would never power on again. Fed up with the unit, I try to return it and of course it's past the return window.

The spool of wire this kit came with had a lower quality durability. Would suggest buying a separate spool of wire. Easily set up. I like the adjustment settings this kit has. My dog responded well. I really like the instruction manual. It had a template to drill holes for mounting the transmitter. It also gives training instructions that are quite clear. Very easy to understand. Worked on the first try. The plastic tube you place the connectors in to keep the connections waterproof and protected in the ground are thin and not durable. We superglued the lid piece back on and wrapped it in plastic to help keep it waterproof. Overall a good experience and works well for the price.

When you’re buying a pet fence do your homework. We tried a few other brands in an attempt to save some money. After they all failed we decided it was time to get one from the company who pioneered it. It’s perfect. No having to turn collars on and off anymore. Adjusts the field with the turn of a knob in seconds. Collars have 5 different correction levels too and a long battery life

We really didn't want to go through all the work digging up the yard (we have 2 2/2 acres), so before ordering these, we tried two different wireless GPS collars (others brands) that we had extreme issues with (such as shocking them when they were definitely within the perimeter or randomly shutting off when they were outside.) So we finally broke down and bought these. They are a total pain to install, simply due to burying lines (do yourself a favor and rent a trenches- we just weren't able to get our hands on one when we did this.) The actual hookup is easy as long as you read the directions. Our dogs are now safely confined in our yard. We are rural, so no one here really keeps the dogs in their yards,but our dogs have decided that they wanted to wander too far, so had to something. Many people will be against the static shock, but it is safer than allowing them to run away and get hit by a car. You set the correction level you are comfortable with. Also, dogs are very smart (at least most are). Day one dogs just kept wanting to go past the marked areas. Day 2 they knew they had no go zones, but just took a little bit testing boundaries. By day 3 our dogs knew exactly where their boundaries are.

Funciona perfecto!!

Los collares y el receptor de la señal que da toque a los perros es sumamente frágil, desde el 1er día lo mordieron y se rompió, quedando inservible

el collar no tien la sufucunte intensidad para el perro lo pueda sentir
