invisible wireless dog fence

I did a lot of research prior to tướng making this purchase. Our friends just got one of the GPS collars that they're pretty happy with but with our yard being just under một nửa acre, they weren't an option. They are about 3x more expensive too.
Our dog is a lab mix and very smart and trainable, but we were concerned because with her playful nature as soon as we were outside with her off leash and a neighbor dog was out, or a chipmunk was in a yard, she was gone. Getting her back on the leash was not easy.
Upon receiving this, I read through the instructions and mix about getting it ready to tướng try. Due to tướng the irregular shape of our lot and the circular pattern of the transmitter it was a little bit tricky getting the flags and distance mix in a manner that made sense. We didn't want it too close to tướng the road on one over but then not extending into the neighbor's yard on the other. It took some moving around of the transmitter unit but we finally found something that worked okay in the garage.
After we had the flags mix and began the training with our dog, a few days in I was concerned that this thing wasn't going to tướng work. After stepping outside of the zone a few times on different days and getting a minor correction, she decided she would just lắc down whenever she approached the perimeter and not budge. I told my wife I was skeptical as to tướng whether this was going to tướng work for our dog.
Well, as I sit here typing this she's outside lying by our open garage door and has been for over an hour. The flags have long been pulled and she doesn't leave the yard. She stays relatively close to tướng the house but in a good way and I can tell she loves the new found freedom to tướng not be on a leash. Amazingly, bunnies, chipmunks, other dogs can all bound off or be doing their thing outside the perimeter and she doesn't give chase unless they're near the house. Awesome results!
I give it 4 stars because if you don't have a nice even lot, the circle perimeter can be a little tricky to tướng get setup the way you would want, and it can be slightly unpredictable as to tướng when it corrects and can vary by 5-10' on given days, or a siêu xe parked in the way of the transmission. The collar does go through some batteries but ví far everything seems quite durable. I'm not really worried about the perimeter much anymore and it's only been a couple months. The circle will ultimately become a moot point I think because I can see her in the future not even requiring the collar. This unit became a great training aid for helping her to tướng understand our boundaries, keeping her safe and the importance of staying in the yard.
Very happy with this purchase overall!

It took mạ about 2 mo to tướng finally get this device to tướng work for my rambunctious husky. It's best to tướng FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS! Though, trial and error is effective as well😅. Not all dogs are alike. Now, my dog is trained to tướng stay in my yard.

I gave the four stars because the product itself is wonderful. I put it in my house and the boundary line went all the way around the yard. I could extend it if I wanted to tướng I could make it smaller. It really is a nice product and I think it would’ve worked great with a dog however, my purposes was for a mèo I would not recommend this particular product for a mèo. The collar is too thick and the device is too heavy. The mèo did not lượt thích it at all. They don’t advertise the product for cats. I just needed something to tướng keep my mèo in the yard and I thought I would give this a try, ví I just want to tướng let everybody out there know that it’s great for dogs, but not for cats and I would highly recommend it if you’re trying to tướng keep your dogs in your yard

TLDR: We live on a corner lot and have no reasonable way to tướng fence our yard ví tried this. It’s not a physical barrier and our dog has left the perimeter a few times ví it is not failsafe; however, he now stays in the yard 99% of the time.

More info if you want to tướng read:
Very easy to tướng install- just plug in the transmitter unit (indoors- we put ours up in a window ledge), mix the range, and walk around with the collar to tướng map out the area. We didn’t have flags ví painted a white line in our yard. We took our dog out 1 time and he had it figured out. I have a one year old 50lb mix- smart active and lives to tướng chase the squirrels who mock him. I have had a number of different dogs and fence types through my life and short of fencing our yard this is the best solution for us. We have used it for about a month and these are the pros and cons: these are all in the owners manual- it works as promised but here are some points to tướng consider
1. It broadcasts in a dome/circle. So depending on the area you need to tướng mix - this may or may not work for you. We had to tướng play around with where to tướng mix it in our house and ultimately found a window close to tướng the back- ví it cuts off a large portion of our side yard we wished was accessible but keeps the perimeter far from the road. For example- I told my sister this is not going to tướng work for her because her dog climbs over one area of the fence at her house. It’s not lượt thích the buried line ones (I have had those also)
2. The area fluctuates.
Seems to tướng depend on weather but significant fluctuation (over 10ft). Sometimes the collar goes off 15ft into the yard and sometimes it goes all the way to tướng the road. Sometimes my dog will get shocked in an upstairs bedroom and sometimes not. It is not precise. We have a fairly large yard and ví just made the safe area a lot smaller in order to tướng make sure the dog will get shocked if he gets to tướng close to tướng the road
3. Other things can interfere and cause a random shock. A few times out dog has been sitting in our living room and the collar goes off. Not sure if it’s something flying over, one of the kids turning on some device etc. we have an electric air cleaner (not người yêu thích based but some sharper image type thing) and it always will cause the collar to tướng shock. The owners manual states this also. However, because of this I don’t want to tướng turn up the shock - which would make it a better determent when those squirrels run rẩy across and the dog wants to tướng chase them ....
4. Obviously. The dog has to tướng wear the collar and the unit has to tướng be plugged in.... I know that’s an obvious statement but some people in my house seem to tướng be struggling with this concept. Also- a few times I have seen my dog cross the perimeter and I can hear the collar beep, but the dog isn’t acting lượt thích he is being shocked. The collar may have loosened or turned sideways? It has to tướng be snug and we are still experimenting with that since our dog wears the collar all day.
5. I have seen the dog chase a squirrel right out of the yard and across the street. Can’t tell if it was shocking him but it was beeping. My dog is pretty trainable and adverse to tướng the shock, but more determined to tướng get a varmit should the opportunity arise. I had a previous dalmation who I am quite sure this system would never work for because he was ví smart and stubborn. Also have owned a dog that if he got shocked would have never left the house- ví it depends on the dogs temperament I am sure

We love this product. It has always kept our dogs around our trang chính. Only down fall, our transmitter has quit working twice now. About every 2-3 years the transmitter stops working and we have to tướng buy another one, which isn’t cheap.

Works as it should ví far. Distance range is not as far as I anticipated. My dog was really bad for running off but now she won’t step in the yard unless I’m with her, but she’s only been got twice and not yelled, just startled/jumped. Good and bad I suppose.
