Best Seller Wireless Dog Fence Reviews -Petsafe IF-300 Wireless Pet Containment System -
Keep dogs over 8 pounds safely contained in the yard with this convenient wireless dog fence. Simply plug in the transmitter, and it emits a constant radio signal from an adjustable 5- to 90-feet in all directions. Full set-up typically takes less than an hour, and no installation, no wire burying, and no stakes are required–ideal for portable installations or people who relocate frequently. To begin, temporarily define the pet area with boundary flags for a visual aid in training the pet. The animal also wears a receiver collar with contact points touching the neck. When the pet strays into the warning zone the receiver collar gives a warning beep. If the pet continues into the warning zone, a safe, static correction is delivered through the contact points until the animal returns to the safe pet area. The transmitter, which measures 8-1/2 by 9 by 9 inches, features an “on/off” switch, a boundary-control dial, a “high/low” switch, and a power indicator light. Measuring 1 by 2 by 1 inches, the waterproof receiver collar uses a 6-volt battery and includes interchangeable long and short contact points, a 25-second safety timeout, a screw-off cap covering the correction-level button, and a low-battery indicator light. The receiver’s design also provides a concave interior wall (side facing the throat) and curved washers for comfort. The pet-containment system should be used with dogs six months or older, and a set-up and training manual comes included.
Customer Reviews
Exactly what we wanted
This wireless system was just what we wanted. We’ve been using it for just about three years, and it is working wonderfully. It annoys me that the company has specialized and sometimes expensive batteries, but you can find them on line at a discount.
I am sorry to hear that some are having problems with or don’t like the unit. Our Golden Retriever (Blondi) was a pleasure to train, and the sessions were complete within about a week. I still test the perimeter once or twice a year, and it’s kind of funny to see her jump back when the warning beep sounds with the collar in my hand. She is on the 3/6 setting. I tested it on my hand at that setting, and it does give you a nice zap!
If you are just starting, don’t neglect to use the training flags, as they help both you and the pet.
Overall as I mentioned, we are very happy with it, and it was much cheaper than paying to get the wires buried. Our one an only estimate for that was > $1500.
