Product Review

This works great on my Doberman.I can put him outside on his runnerWhile cleaning and not have to listenTo him bark the whole time.

Our back yard is about a half acre fenced in and even still, we were having major problems with one of our dogs (65 pound golden retriever) breaking out to “protect us” from the neighbors and other neighborhood dogs walking by. It finally got to the point where we couldn’t let her go out into the yard without a leash because she would immediately b-line for the fence and start trying to dig under to go roam the neighborhood. We laid the fence wire and flags along the base of our existing fence and spent a lot of time Day 1 and day 2 walking her along the perimeter on leash showing her how it worked. We are now on day 5 and she runs around in the back yard like normal but will no longer go within 4-5 feet of the fence. FINALLY our pet is contained!As for the quality of the product itself...So far so good. I’m sure it’s not the best quality invisible fence on the market, but I can say that it definitely does what it’s supposed to do. I ran the wire in through the side of my house so I could mount the unit itself indoors to protect it from the weather. I laid 600ish feet of line and spent about an hour today burying about the first 100 feet or so. No issues so far, but my biggest concern is if I end up with a break in the wire. Part of me wishes I would have purchased higher gauge wire to help prevent this, but I guess we’ll see how well it holds up over time. For now, 5 stars and no complaints. Excellent purchase.

Overall, the product is excellent. Our only problem is the quality of the collar itself. It unravels fairly easily.

The directions are well written and easy to follow. They offer several options for installation, in ground, above ground, with a fence, around gardens and trees, etc. They are thorough and easy to follow. After installing the unit, I tested it per the instructions and everything was working. There are 5 levels of electric stimulus. The collars are fully adjustable for the shock level, the controller adjusts the distance the collar starts to activate. I bet the reviewers that said their dogs didn't respond probably didn't understand the wall controller does not control the level of shock. The collar has a separate adjustment for the level of shock; 1-5. The wall controller adjusts the width of the zone, 2' wide to 10' wide. If your collar is one level 1 (low) and the width is at 10 (maximum), your dog will not get a shock, only a low level beep. You must adjust the collar to 5 (high) to train the dog the first time. One or two zaps and the dog will learn to associate the warning beep with a zap. Then you adjust the shock level down to 2 or 3 for most dogs; higher for stubborn dogs with thick fur. There are longer (included) contact points for dogs with thick fur (shepherds, collies, etc). the short contacts will not work on dogs with thick fur. If in doubt, try both sets and see if the longer contacts work better. Dogs need a visual barrier, they won't remember the wire is buried, once they associate the visual barrier with the electric fence, your problems are solved.Why is this a 10 star review? One of my dogs was bored and saw the controller and thought it would be a good chew toy. I came home and found it mangled and in 15 pieces strewn across the carpet. When I called to buy a replacement controller, offered to replace it for free! I wasn't expecting that, but I certainly wasn't going to refuse their kind gesture.Thank you .I would have written the same review (5 star) even without the replacement, but they really do stand behind their product even when it obviously wasn't a factory defect and deserve 10 stars.

I have used this for three days for my 12 pound chihuahua and it has worked wonders!!! He doesn’t bark at all with this on the lowest setting possible of vibration. I don’t even use the shock setting and it has stopped the barking. Highly recommend
