Product Review

I was skeptical and really didn't think it would work. After installing the boundary wire we had some difficulty in adjusting the collar. The first step instructs you to "remove the battery". That totally made the following steps nonsense. However, I contacted customer service and received the instructions that I needed. The support agent agreed that there was a problem with the manual and hopefully they will get that fixed. Now to the effectiveness of the boundary wire. It only took my German Sheppard 3 days to respect the boundaries. She "jumped" the "fence" one time while chasing a squirrel. She received the correction and then was afraid to return back in to the yard. I solved that problem by driving the van out of the yard and she came back in with the van. (She doesn't get shocked while in a vehicle). So now it is a pleasure to be able to allow her freedom from the leash and to be outside (she has an acre or more to run in).

This product does keep my girl from barking when I'm at work. When she shakes here head sometimes it goes off, good thing I dont use the shock option.

Our little beagle is in heaven! He gets to stay outside and do his thing without the restrictions of a lead or us constantly calling him. He was 6 months old when we installed it. We didn't put out any flags or markers. We just let him roam. He has minded the beep and only been shocked when trying to follow my husband over to the neighbors yard. That happened once! We are fans! UPDATE June 2018 18 Months later Bandit is still king of his own yard! We put in some new landscaping around the house and added wiring to that area, now he can't dig or poop in the flower beds. The only times he has escaped are when we were not aware the battery was dead. Now we change it every 3 months. This also tells me he does test the fence, he is not complacent and still wants to roam. The fence is perfect!

I am well impressed with this collar. The product exactly corresponds to the description. Works great. On the average dog power more than. The collar is long enough, which allows you to perfectly adjust the neck of the dog.

Great product, would recommend to anyone. Took about 3 hours total for me because my backyard has some trees I had to go around but mainly just zip tied it to my existing chain-link fence, staple gun for the wooden fence/side of the house, and burried around the AC unit so they wouldn’t tear anything up around there. My 2 lab mix puppies had learned to climb the chain-link and were getting into my neighbor’s yard and to the front yard (luckily always stayed close by) so I was fearing they would get hit by a car and didn’t want them in my neighbors’ yards. We tried them inside but due to them being puppies they just wanted to tear up stuff (which they did) so I put them on leads but then they couldn’t run around as much and kept getting tangled in the trees. I was about to spend about the same amount of money on 2 large kennels so I figured I’d try this out and I’m glad I did. Saved a bunch of money over the competitors and even got the extra collar all for about $200 and the install was very easy, just time consuming. I do recommend using a drill to twist the wires, so much easier. Didn’t need to really train them like the manual said, just took a couple shocks and they learned the boundaries. They hated it the first couple days cause they didn’t understand why they were being shocked but after a couple days they started going back to their normal selves, running around and playing together and now know their limits. I don’t agree with the level system for our dogs. I consider them “very hyper” but 4 and 5 was way too high for them but 3 seemed to work just fine. As for the boundary limit, I just had to kind of mess around with it and 6 seems to be a good boundary for our needs. All in all, extremely happy so far (couple weeks in).
