I had a pet safe invisible fence 30 years ago and it worked good back then. But it took the button batteries and they just don't last as long. This unit takes a 9 volt battery and works longer. I have just had it a couple of months but my brothers unit has gone 5 or 6 months. I tries setting one but my border collie would cross the barrier. I moved it to the number 2 setting and he has not come closer than 10 feet to the barrier. I have a complete physical fence with this wire on the inside of the fence. He had dug out without the pet safe. But hasn't with it installed. And if you have a more "stubborn" dog. there is still 3 stronger settings (but start low, #2 should work)

Works perfect! I looked at many competitors but for my very stubborn Golden Retriever, this was just what she needed to stay safely confined. Only took a few days of training before she wanted no part of approaching the boundary. I did have a small problem after laying the wire down. The loop indicated that I had a break. I do not recommend the $100 PetSafe product to find a break but instead recommend a $15 non-contact electrical tester. Placing 1-lead from the twisted wire into a 120V outlet, this tester worked great to find my problem.

This worked great. Other than the time running the wire around the property (16-1700 ft) it was easy to setup. The dog trained his self in about 10 minutes. We tried to walk him around but he is not leash trained.. We started on the highest setting but quickly turned it down after seeing how quickly he figured it out...

works for me and my two yr old lab, I expected problems with the buried wire and have had some but caused by yard man and driveway edger. I purchased the petsafe fault finder to find a break and found it to be excellent and exact to 6". Petsafe customer support is top notch, write me down as a very satisfied customer.

We have this system at our home and have installed at each of our kids homes too. All our dogs are trained on each others yards, so they can visit their fur-cousins. In total, we have 10 dogs who can play together as long as mom & dad remember their collars! The multi settings on the collars allow for individual dog's stubbornness, especially the pointers with rabbits and other small animals around.
