I little hard to install for what we wanted but in the end my husband figured it out and it took a matter of hours before the dogs stopped going where they should not go.

I installed this fence one Saturday, started training my dog and within a week or so he was on supervised playtime. By the next week he was on it by himself and I haven't had any problems with him running across the road since.

After spending thousands of dollars on fences modifications upon modifications we were never able to keep our intelligent 4 year old golden retriever in the yard. 6 ft fences no problem he managed to jump right over. No matter what we did we could not keep him in the yard.
After reading some of the reviews I had to give it a try I could not stand seeing him tied up.
After one evening of setup along our existing fence. Then another couple of evenings of training he is free to roam our large yard. He has since gotten out once as he bolted thru an open gate. Other than that this product is awesome. And to think we almost gave him away to a rancher in northern New Mexico. My only regret is that i didn't make this purchase sooner
Stubborn dog is now a good puppy that stays home.

Great Product

We have had our system for almost three years and it is still in good working condition. We have two Lab mixes who are both escape artists and this was our savior. We walked our dogs around the yard so that they could learn the peremiter. They only had to be corrected once or twice and they have not had a problem since. The best feature is the sound that emits as a warning before correction takes place. If my dogs become to close they will run from the fence when they hear the sound hence they do not get correction. I would recommend this product to anyone!

The best money I've ever spent!!!

I have two silly, adorable freedom fighters who can go over, around, under, through ANYTHING. They are pit bulls and I've never known them to hurt anyone but I can't take the chance. Plus there is the stigma many people associate with pits so they were both on heavy chains for a looooooong time. I was afraid the containment system would make them mean so I was afraid to try it. Out of sheer desperation to get the poor little monster babies off the chains, I finally installed the stubborn dog system. They are still silly and adorable but they are now off the chains!!! The female only needed the second setting and she received very little training. The male had to get the fourth setting and a few hours more of training. Even though I wasn't able to properly train them, they are both safe and secure IN THEIR OWN YARD and have been for several months now. I ran the wire along the top of the fence then back around along the bottom of it. IT WORKS!!

This product works fantastic. We live in a city area and had problems with our escape artists chasing people and other dogs. We have a Jack Russell mix and a Staffordshire Terrier mix and they both do not cross the boundaries anymore. I definetly reccommend!

The fence is working well so far. My only complaint is the collar, it shredded within 3 days and I had to order replacements. I pray I just got a couple from a bad batch.

In-Ground Dog Fence
PostedJuly 20, 2010
Sixkids

First let me say that I am known to research everything near to death before buying anything! I started out looking at wireless dog fences. We measured the footage that would be covered by two units plugged into our home. It would not allow the dogs to use their entire fenced-in area. For this reason and the more- area for less money, we went with the in-ground fence. I researched the different brands and the one name always coming out on top was PetSafe. (Especially in the service dept.) It was also pointed out that most all in-ground fences are made by the same RadioFence company.
We went with the PetSafe "Stubborn fence" because our dogs out-weighed the regular in-ground dog fence collar weights. (We have 2 black Labs, 1 Golden Retriever and 1 Newfoundland). I called PetSafe and talked to a HUMAN! She was EXTREMELY helpful and friendly, very knowledgable and answered all of my questions and even gave me some very good pointers. I thought that I would need the longer prongs for the collars. I called and they were sent out to me Free of Charge, for all 4 dogs. As it turned out, the 2 black labs needed the collars turned to the 2 nd setting and the large Newfoundland is afraid of just the vibrating and ticking on the 1st level, so she stays away from the fence. The Goldren Retriever tested the fence once and after we turned up the setting on the collar he respected the fence.
Although it is NOT reccommended, the 3rd day out, we left the dogs in the yard and were gone for 4 hrs. They were still there when we came back.
I LOVE this product and the company that is standing behind it.
The only bad part that I can say about this experience, (not the company's fault), is that I received a bad case of Poison Oak from planting the in-ground fence by hand.
We had rented a 'turf cutter' locally, for $80, but it wasn't working, so the 4 of us used up the 3 (500 ft), spools of wire and installed the pet fence by hand in about 10 hrs. We were VERY excited when we plugged in the fence and it worked the FIRST time without even having to re-do anything!
I do not make a habit of writing reviews, but this one deserved it! I do hope that you will consider PetSafe in-ground fence. We are VERY glad that we did!

In Ground Fence installed

One Saturday to install-recommend wet ground and shovel for trench (we burned up edger: shovel just as quick). Currently training 6 mos Lab Mix puppy rescued from shelter. Day 2 of training, instructions are to turn "static" to level 2 (of 5) for 4 days of training. She was VERY aware of the static. It appears she will respond quickly to the new system. Make sure you have enough room away from each buried wire to set "static" 5 feet away from wire. We didn't figure that out until after wires buried and will have to restring one wire 5+ feet high on the house to allow for dog walk on side of home.

Installation only.

from steilacoom, WA
I have not yet fully trained my dog, and have only installed the "Stubborn Dog" version of the in-ground fence.
1. I have a 1/3 acre property, and just assumed 500 ft would be fine. However, had I thought through my install and all the elevation changes between vinyl and chain link fences, over concrete walkways, and under eaves of the house in front, I'd have know I'd have less than 10 ft of wire left.
2. I'd bought 4 cheap garden hoses and slit them with a utility knife and just pushed the wire in along that slit to protect the wire in the ground from any digging. It worked, but extended install time.
3. Recommend thinking through the HEIGHTS that wire will be installed if different in parts of the perimeter (i.e. on 6ft chain link fence vs. in ground for vinyl fence, etc.) That may mean having to re-do install to lower the highest locations....or a decision to set the signal strengths for transmitter and collar at one setting, and letting the highest locations go, in hopes the dog can't scale a 6ft fence.
In sum, I created problems for miyself because I did a single loop install, around the back and side yards that went just in front of, and through the garage of, my house...rather than including a front yard. So, there were several elevation changes.
Luckily, the system works, and dog is to be trained soon.

Love the Standard Battery
PostedApril 9, 2009
LotsOCritters
I love that this collar uses a 9v battery instead of having to order expensive button cells. We've been using the system over 9 months now, and are still on our first battery. Just tested it today, and it's still working.
My dog isn't the brightest, and refuses to figure out the white flags. He's just doesn't go anywhere NEAR the fence line. I feel kind of bad that he thinks his yard is so much smaller now. But at least he's safe. He was escaping out the front door every chance he got to go on a grand tour of the neighborhood. I love that he can hang out with us out front now. (We have a traditional fence plus the Petsafe invisible in the back.)
We installed the wire using an electric lawn edger. It took a few days, but wasn't too difficult once we got the hang of it. To go across the cement driveway, we used a masonry blade on our circular saw to cut a thin trench, laid the wire, then caulked it in.

I purchased this system for my lab. The fence system works well, however, the collar is not made well at all. I had to retrofit the receiver to another collar within a month of purchase. The collar supplied is thin and falls apart easily. There are two metal prongs which extend out of the transmitter on the collar. One of these prongs broke off leaving the system inoperable. Hopefully I can purchase another collar without needing to buy a whole new system.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Best inground fence

swampslider
from Orlando, Florida.
This is my second inground fence. My previous one was from a competitor. My 65 pound Black Lab mix would walk through it like it was'nt their, plus I went through two control boxes and two collars and it didn't slow her down and the collar would eat batteries like they were going out of stile! After installing the PetSafe Stubborn Dog System and about 4 days of refresher training of the boundry areas she hasn't left the area once. Thanks PetSafe. This was well worth what I paid for it.

My labs found every loose part of chain link fencing in my yard and would "commando crawl" under it to freedom. No more! The installation took me and my husband a good 4 hours to do. Luckily, we zip-tied the wire to our chain-link fence in the backyard and buried it in the front yard, so that saved us a lot of time. If you were to bury the whole thing, I would block off an entire day to do it, but overall if was very easy. Even my headstrong labs figured out the training quickly. Now they hear the beep from the collar that tells them they are too close to the boundary and they get back. I no longer worry about the animal control officer or speeding cars on my street.
