Stay & Play Wireless Fence Replaceable Battery Receiver Collar - Waterproof & Battery-Operated Adjustable Static Correction Collar - for Dogs 5lb+

This wireless fence system is very easy to install and works very well for our high energy dog. Our property is not fenced, but is essentially flat so we were able to achieve a consistent boundary perimeter. We bought a package of 100 yellow plastic flags and are using them rather than the 50 flags included with the system, as we needed that to achieve an even ten feet between flags. We followed the training instructions exactly as described, and by the second day, our dog would not go so far as to be within the buzzing-alert range. The first 4 days of training, I kept him on the leash and walked in all directions towards the boundary, multiple times each day. He consistently initiated “putting on the brakes” as we approached the boundary, so I would lavishly praise and reward him. Days 5 - 8, I still kept him on the leash and added distractions. He completely restrained himself and would not pursue the toys or people approaching until they were far enough within the boundary for the dog’s comfort. Days 9 - 30 (we’re currently on day 24), we moved to unleashed supervision and play. We’ve successfully played fetch an unlimited number of times every day and played endlessly with the kids. If the ball happened to land too close to the flags, he would not go get it. Or, if the kids left the boundary, he would not follow them through it. However, one afternoon around day 17, a cat was meandering within the boundary and the dog saw it from inside and went nuts. When I let him out the door, he chased the cat through the boundary. He got alerted and zapped but didn’t stop until he was a hundred yards away. Then he came to a complete stop and walked back to me. We walked inside the boundary and I praised him for coming back within safety. Following that, I walked the boundary with him on leash again and he would not go anywhere near the edges. After that we went back to unleashed play and supervision, and he has not chased anything through the boundary again. Two days ago, as we went outside, we surprised the cat, who ran away quickly. My dog gave chase for about 6 feet, then stopped well within the boundary and just turned around and looked at me. I praised him lavishly again. I’m very optimistic that this will be a reliable, long term solution. I recommend it.

I purchased this because my unruly cat finally jumped the fence to escape the yard when he was given outside time. (It was only a matter of time) He is cat-aggressive to other cats and despite being nurtured, always wants to go after them. If he escapes he thinks he is wild, and will suddenly go feral. He attacked me one night as I tried to pick him up to bring him inside after the time he jumped the fence. At that point, I knew I had to do something. So this is what I turned to. (I'm not going to declaw him) Yoshi is roughly 15 lbs. The device is a little big for him, but not too big. It works for him. If you have a small cat that is around 5 lbs, the device may be too bulky. The diameter is round so you'll want to have some indicator to the animal of where their boundaries are. I have it a little around my rectangular fence. It only goes off at the corners, and about 10' past my chainlink fence on the long sides. It comes with a test device so you can see exactly where it beeps and shocks. The shock levels are adjustable. The circle is widely adjustable to your liking, many sizes to choose from until it's just right. You have to set it up each time when you use it, as it cant be out in the weather. I just put it on a cinderblock out back where I established to be a good spot, and run an extension chord out to it. It's set up in the backyard, and does not activate at all in the house. This is perfect because I dont want him to be punished when he runs inside. I take it off right away when he comes in. He is still learning the boundaries. But, the device works perfect on my hard headed, wiley cat. After a beep or shock, he runs straight to the door so I can let him inside and give him treats and positive reinforcement. This is essential. He does not hate the collar. Put it on the animal a few times in the house with it turned off. Don't let them associate the collar with anything negative. He doesn't mind wearing it because he associates it with fun outside time. I don't usually leave reviews, but my situation is unique and potentially valuable for cat owners. It's difficult to find any cat reviews for this product, and a positive one at that.

We have 4 dogs and also foster dogs of all ages and this system was so easy to set up! We have tried wire fences, regular fences etc. and nothing has worked comparable to this! Our dogs were trained to the fence within a couple days and the set up took less than an hour.

Ok. just because it says 2 hours on the description of how long it takes to set up, I had this done in 10 mins tops! Easy to get going tested it out on ourselves before putting on the dog. Level 1 is ineffective on dogs but we humans felt it! Overall it took 2 times for the dog to feel the zap and she now knows not to pass the flags! works as a charm!

We bought this because we didn't want to spend a couple grand having someone set up the wired one at the moment. Set up was pretty simple, but signal seems inconsistent. After initial set up, I double check my flags as I didn't exactly get a "circular perimeter " but that's to be expected with wireless systems. However, I had flags that were next to each other that really seemed like they were wrong as they were zigzaggy rather than a smoother curve as I would have expected for the most part. When I double checked, many of the flags had to be moved because they were picking up the signal farther out than the original signal location. Other than that, it seems ok, but I've noticed that sometimes the warning goes off well before the flags and other times our dog has gone outside the flags before they go off. Overall it's good though, he pretty much doesn't go anywhere near the flags.

J’ai commandé cet article comme cadeau pour ma conjointe afin de faciliter les sorties de son chien, quand je lui ai offert pour l’anniversaire de son chien, cet article s’est avéré défectueux. Après avoir testé à plusieurs reprises la limite nous mêmes on s’est rendu compte que la limite n’était jamais à la même place, parfois le collier se déclenchait trop tôt parfois il ne se déclenchait jamais. Nous n’avons donc jamais pu l’utiliser avec notre chien. Nous avons essayé de contacter Amazon pour un remboursement mais à chaque reprise on s’est fait dire que quelqu’un nous contacterait… sans jamais de retour de leur part. Vu le prix de l’article, il est très décevant de n’avoir eu aucun retour pour un article clairement défectueux et qui pourrait être dangereux pour le petit chien. Je ne vous suggère pas d’acheter cet article.

Just buy it, it works. Our dog ALWAYS ran away, no matter how entertaining we made our yard. We are on day 4 of using this and she has stayed in the yard, even unsupervised. I never would've thought this would work so well, I cant even believe it.
