"This product really works, the directions said it would take up to 2weeks to train your dog, my dog learned that same day she started to use the system. I looked around at a local pet store at a similar system, wow it was a lot more expensive."

works poorly
Date: September 13, 2009
"We used this product for a month with our 2 dogs. The collars would correct them occasionally when they went outside the containment area. We bought new batteries and no success. I am taking it back today."

Best money spent!
Date: September 11, 2009
"We have a 9 mth old German Short-haired pointer, and live out in the country. Had a big problem with her wandering into the neighbors fields and really needed to learn to stay in her own yard. This works great!!! Friends recommend it who have 5 big dogs. Will be able to use when we go camping too. Very happy we purchased this."

"We have only had this product for two weeks and my puppy (4 months old) really took to it. She learned very quickly to avoid the flags and stay in her boundaries."

Not a realiable fence
Date: September 2, 2009
"We tried the wireless fence with out basset hound. The system never had the same boundry. The boundry would change each time you turned on the fence. When the automatic garage door was opened or closed it would interfer with the signal of the fence. If the dog was anywhere nere the garage door it would shock him even though he was within the boundry. Don't buy this item!"

LOVE LOVE THIS ITEM..
Date: August 27, 2009
"I was a little hesitate about purchasing this because of the shock factor but once your dog learns his/her boundaries and believe it or not -- understand what and why the collar is put on -- he'll get it. My dog learned quickly and even if the monitoring station is off he won't pass his boundaries becaue he has his collar on. My dog can sit on the porch and watch other dogs go by and not leave the porch. This is worth the money -- cheaper than installing a full fence. Will recommend to a friend"

"Have a Border Collie that loves to roam through the woods. After setting up the boundaries we can let our dog outside alone and not worry that he will wander off into the pastures. This product is great."

Greatest money ever spent...EVER!
Date: August 24, 2009
"I have a great dane and a lab and the lab jumps and the great dane digs so I had my hands full. I also rent so digging and putting in permanent fence is a huge hassle. My lab and dane, when they are together and free love to run as fast as they can...away! I got tired of tieing my pets out and decided to take the plunge and purchase the system and within the first two minutes of the training it was like I had two new animals. I can't wait for them to be fully trained and I can't wait for them to learn that these are the boundaries set forth for them. If anyone has any hesitations what so ever I would tell you stop hesitating and make the purchase I have never been happier with any purchases I have made with my dogs."

Best Money Ever Spent!!!!!!!
Date: August 16, 2009
"I recently purchased this product for my 2 year old golden retriever. She is a well behaved dog, but truly refused to stay in our yard...if a leave blew she would chase it ...a squirrel looked at her she would follow it. I also have a chocolate lab who does not leave the yard unless he is with someone. This product kept her in the yard after training and her being shown the boundaries. I started it on a medium setting because I know she is stubborn and that is what it recommended and I was very happy to be able to lower it due to her success in staying in the yard. I no longer have to worry about tripping over her line or her tripping my 2 year old son. She is free to run, romp and play as much as she chooses. Even when the lab goes to visit our neighbors(his 2nd home) she does not go past the boundary. It truly is an amazing product and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is considering buying it. It really was the best purchase I have ever made."

So thankful this works!
Date: June 19, 2009
"This wireless system is amazing! I have a very stuborn and active jack russel who can leap 5 feet in the air and fears nothing. Our home is also located near a highway. We heard horrible stories about what happened in the past with our neighbor's dogs and how often they had been hit on the highway. We wanted to be able to keep him outside with us without confining him to a leash. This wireless fence did exaclty what we wanted it to. Within two days he knew his boundries and now he is free to exercise and play within them. He is safe and able to burn off some of that amazing energy!"

GREAT product but too small of an area
Date: March 21, 2009
"I love the product it does work very well. The training is very important! My only problem is that the radius is really too small for my Golden to get ample running room in my yard. I am going to switch to the in ground fence to have a bigger area."

Great fence option
Date: February 2, 2009
"This product does EXACTLY what it claims it will do. I have half an acre and my lab knows her boundaries.
I trained her on Beep only, then put her on the lowest level of shock. She ran through the barrier twice after rabbits. I put it up to the three, and it shocked her so badly she wouldn't go into the yard without me. Now we are back to beep only and she is very cautious. Easy to use and adjust. Snow makes it hard to see the white flags. She still has the flags to help her see her limit, but this spring, we will remove the flags to mow..."

Best Thing Since Sliced Bread!
Date: November 13, 2008
"My dog has more freedom, trained quickly about 2 weeks total time. The first battery only lasted about 6 weeks, but the second battery lasted about 4 months and my last battery lasted almost 5 months. Batteries cost about 10 bucks for a 2 pack....not bad at all!
I love it!"

Life-Saving and leaves me free of worries :)
Date: November 8, 2008
"This is the best purchase we've every made for our puppy.
Initially I felt uncomfortable with the idea of a "shock collar," but the only time she ran out of her boundaries she let out a bark and came running back to the area that was safe. I would much rather her get a small shock than be hit by a car if she ran off.

Being able to switch from long-range to short range signals is easy and very easy and useful.We take this with us on our vacations and show her her new boundaries. All she needs to hear is the warning beep and she knows that she cannot go any farther.
I was worried that she would find this collar uncomfortable, but she doesn't object to it at all. After maybe 6 months of constant use, we now feel comfortable having our puppy outside without her collar - she respects her boundaries and loves the freedom of being able to run around our house. Having her being locked up inside or in a crate all day would be absolutely terrible. Thank goodness for this product which allows her the freedom and exercise she needs!"

Renters agree...its GREAT!!
Date: September 4, 2008
"I do not own the home I live in; I'm young still and not ready to make that kind of step. Finding a place to rent that'll take dogs is a hassle let alone one with a fence. I purchased this product for my energy filled husky/shepherd mix and love it!! I can take it with me when I move or travel to see family and dont have to spend hundreds of dollars on an in-ground system I cant take with me. It gives my dog a chance to get outside and run without the leash as well to run off energy. PERFECT FOR RENTERS!!!"

Good Reinforcement
Date: August 8, 2008
"I would highly recommend this system to anyone with a dog that needs backyard training to stay safe within set boundries. My house is exposed to two intersecting streets, corner lot, and I have no physical fence, only a partial landscaped barrier to roads. The instructions said initially to set it on a level 2 and test the dog's immunity to hearing the beeping and responding. I have a 14 week puppy and he did not respond initially to the beeps and had to elevate to a level 4. He tested the system twice and felt the slight shocks and quickly got back into the correct allowable zone. Now, all he has to hear the beeps and he goes nowhere close to going out of territory boundry set. A very effective system, especially with neighbor dogs passing by, children. cars, etc."

Wireless fence
Date: July 26, 2008
"Unbelievable!!! This fence is a life savor. I have 2 yellow labs, one aged 2 and one that is 8 months old. Our young lab has more energy than I can keep up with and would run around the entire neighborhood despite shock collars, yelling for her, and even run when we approached her to bring her home. We received the wireless fence, plugged it in, set up the flags, and programmed the collars. It took about an hour to do it all. The very first time out with the dogs was all they needed. We did what the instructions said and used treats and toys along with our children to get them to go over the boundary. They did go about twice on only setting 3. That did it! They returned to the safe zone immediately! We let them of the leash and they passed only once and ran back into the safe zone right away. This fence is a God send. I was VERY skeptical and actually didn't think it would work considering the hyper labs I have. I was wrong wrong wrong! Thank you for all the reviews that actually led me to buy this product. If anyone is hesitating, DON'T!! It is worth every penny!!!!!!"
