Decent fence charger but a bit small for large animal like horses. Our horse are well trained by the more capable chargers on our other fences so they don't mess with the fences protected by this unit as it does have enough output to let them know it's on. As recommended by the manufacturer, go with the PE5 model or larger if you're using this for horses or cattle. The 2 mile/8 acre branding is misleading as the shortcoming is more a matter of output energy than fence length and the PE2 just doesn't have enough zing to discourage horse size animals with heavier coats. That said, the warranty is excellent and extends to all failures including lightning.

My field is only 2 acres at the best. I worked on this directly with a Patriot US representative. I added another ground rod, being rebar. Was told that needed better ground rods. Purchased galvanized rods and used better wire to the unit. 20' away I could still grab the wire. Never got it to work. This was my second unit I tried. The whole issue was I had a older unit working there fine, showed 5k volts at end of wire, but was a noisy unit clicking. Move it to another small pasture and tried to add this 'quiet' Patriot to that location. Just couldn't get it to work for me with all their help

Not any more... nor are they even getting near it... It was all fun and games until it bit the hell back. Most hilarious thing I have seen in a long time.. Dog ran 20 feet away and barked at it for an hour... hasn't been near it since..The other is so spooked he wont even go near it.

My 200 lbs mastiff kept jumping the fence. I installed this unit and grounded the unit to the fence thinking the concrete and steel posts would suffice as a ground. Later find out that it's not. I could hold the wire and barely feel it. But my dog did luckily touch the grounded fence and the wire and has since stopped trying to jump the fence. Make sure to use a good grounding rod if not multiple rods! I mounted my unit inside a Tupperware container outdoors.

Once I figured out a good ground connection it worked very well. I rigged an insulated top line on the positive and wired to a chain link fence on the ground to prevent a dog from jumping the fence. I wish the pulse was faster but so far it has kept the dog from vaulting over the fence.
