Questions
I only need to prevent my two dogs from entering a single side of a square yard where the fence has been torn down. Will the system work essentially in a straight line, or does it need to "loop?" If needs to loop, can return loop be next to outgoing?
- This is a great question! This fence will always need to make a full loop, and this loop cannot be right next to itself. Though a form of double loop layout can be used to cover a straight line, it is crucial to note that the parallel wires forming the long, narrow oval of the double loop will need to be a minimum of 5 feet apart. Examples of double loop layouts can be seen in the manual. If you have any further questions about setting up a layout for your location, please get in touch with us! Our number is 1-800-732-2677, and our hours are Monday through Friday 8 A.M.- 7 P.M. EST.

Does this kit work if I connect my old wire from invisible fence company to this transmitter and buy the entire kit ?
- Thank you for the great question! It is possible to remote your current base transmitter and switch it out for the PetSafe In-Ground Fencing system instead. Please note, our systems uses 20 to 14 gauge copper wire (with a PVC coating). Prior to switching out the system, it is recommended to ensure the wire meets these specifications.

Can I cut the wire and add on to it for an addition ?
- Thank you for this question! This is certainly possible; an example showing what this would look like can be seen in the "Back & Front Yard" example on this page.

Where can I get more wire?
- Thank you for this question! Additional wire is available in 500ft spools as SKU# RFA-1.

Am I able to cancel the signal in a particular area, as in a gate or walkway that my dog is allowed to go through?
- Thank you for this question, Bekah! Though this may be possible, it would require a more complicated form of a double loop layout. It is not possible to place any item in an area or splice in twisted wire in an area to create a gate; we do apologize for any difficulty this may cause. So that we can discuss layout options that may work for you, please reach out to us. Our number is 1-800-732-2677, and our current hours are Monday through Friday 8 A.M.- 6 P.M. EST and Saturdays 9 A.M.- 5 P.M. EST.

Our yard is fenced on 3 sides (sides & back). With the house serving as the 4th barrier, we need to connect from the fence to the house on each side. Do we need 2 systems or will 1 do the job? Can the wire be cut in 2 with 1 transmitter?
- Thank you for your question! One system would be suitable for use with this type of installation, but you would likely need to run a double loop layout. Please reach out to our Customer Care Center at 1-800-732-2677 and we will be happy to discuss this more in depth with you.

Re ModPIG0014582 or Mod PIG0013661. Does the underground wire need to be connected to the Transmitter for system to function. My closest indoor outlet is probably 50 of more feet from area I want to secure.
- Yes it does need to connect to the transmitter!

Are underground fences a good affordable option for 2 pitbulls? How safe are the shock collars longer-term?
So we are going to use a remote collar to train the puppy to never chew the chainlink fence she doesn’t do it often . A trainer on YouTube Solidk9 training recommended. I think it’s better to have a mild stem correction than broken teeth one day. Also going to use to work on her recall she is 80% reliable everywhere but backyard that’s 10% she comes back. What brands on amazon are good? And how do I condition her to the collar?
I have two neutered cats who love being outside. We live in a mountainous area with wildlife, so we are trying to keep them inside but they learned how to open doors. We are trying to decide b/w a wireless pet fence in our yard where they wear large-ish shock collars (even though they are smaller for cats) all the time as the company says not to wear for more than 12 hours or to just put cat trackers on them and find them every night. Which is safer?
Hey, I’m tired of seeing my dogs on chains and I can’t really put them in the house (no room). I was thinking about getting shock collars & underground fence for all of them. I have two boys and girl. The only thing I’m worried about is the two boys fighting. When they were puppies they fought a lot that’s why I separated them. Do you think since they’re older and neutered they’ll be less likely to fight? They’re 2.5 yrs old. I want to keep all of them together without them killing each other.
So my puppy chews her fencing of her dog run. A high respected trainer recommended a remote stem collar, as it isn’t SA as she doesn’t care about me when she comes out just wants to sniff and play outside, so what I’m going to do is have someone leave in a car and stay and if she chews the run she gets a stem, the trainer said she trained a few dogs with same issue and fixed within a week -2. I got Esky Dog Shock collar a good brand? Is this mean? I think it’s crueler to let her break her teeth
After speaking with our veterinarian I was able to train my dog not to run up to people or other dogs while off leash by using premium treats outside and less premium treats while indoors. My current issue is shes running into our neighbours backyard (new subdivision, no yard/fences etc.) because they throw food back there. I don’t drive and there’s no dog park nearby. I want her to run and play ball. Do you think it would be a bad idea to get a remote shock collar?
After exhaustive cleaning, our cat continues to mark indoors. Have you found indoor electric fences helpful?
We have a huge fenced in dog kennel about 30 feet from our house and our dogs go in it to use the bathroom. But when we take them out without leashes they run away. We already tried electric collers. Building a fence to the kennel is not an option. How do we do this???
Hey, I was thinking about using shock collars on my dogs for containment. As of right now they stay on chains, but i want them to have more room to run around. When they were young they’d fight over food or they would mess with one another by barking or dominance. Do you think this would be a good idea? I just dont want them fighting. Its the momma dog (7) and the siblings which are almost 2.
We're in a very wooded area with deer, raccoon and ground squirrels and mice and are looking for an effective, affordable and natural flee and tick prevention system. Seems strange that a collar could work on all parts of a long coat chihuahua and not sure about the oral vs topical stuff. Looking for recommended products.
