I've had my wireless Pet Safe system for over 2 years. I have two very energetic Boston Terriers. It works great!

Originally posted on PetSafe

I already own this system but after 5 years I had to replace it. Works great, once the dog understands the boundries it has kept him contained

Yes, I recommend this product.

I’ve been using Petsafe underground fence for so many that I can’t even remember. No issues except the occasional wire being cut. Well when my transmitter went out I decided to try a different route because I was unable to find one near me. So I bought the wireless transmitter and collar. I’ve moved it to several locations and can only get about 50ft from the transmitter. I was expecting more than that. My poor dogs can barely leave from the back patio. Now I have them doing their business up close to the house. So I’m not satisfied with this product and will have to try another route.

We have been very pleased, but recently started having problems. Collars wouldn’t hold a charge so ordered 2 replacements. It seems that the transmitter isn’t working but cannot determine how to test.

Still love it 5+ years later. Did not think it would work for a beagle who are so distracted by rabbits and such. But he has never run past the perimeter.

No, I do not recommend this product.

We're so happy to hear this system has worked well for you and your beagle! Thank you for taking the time to share this with us! <img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/stratos-logos/logos/PetSafe.jpeg" alt="PetSafe" title="PetSafe" style="display: block !important; margin-top: 2em !important; border: 1px solid #ccc !important; padding: 2px !important; background-color: white !important;" />

We bought this system when our Belgian Malinois was about 6 mos. old. We do have to keep her collar turned up to a higher correction, but this has been a life saver! She was constantly going to the neighbors and the highway and now we don't have to worry about it! Other than the battery dying! I wish they would improve the battery life or make them rechargeable!

Works great. Walked thru with our German shorthair pointer one time and he had it down pretty good. He was around 6 months when we got it. No problems with it yet. We got a second transmitter to expand the barrier.

I purchased one in 2009 and it’s still working today. Recommend to everyone.

Do you have to install wifi for your wireless dog fence to work?

3 years ago
Thank you for this question! The PetSafe Wireless Fence emits signal from the base transmitter in a circular shape. Wi-Fi is not necessary nor does it affect the function of the Wireless Containment System.

Will a wireless system work on uneven grounds? back yard is much higher then where transmitter would be placed.

1 year ago
Our Wireless Pet Co1-800-732-2677.ntainment systems are best for flatten terrain. If you have slopes in the area you want to contain your pet steeper than 3-4ft, we would recommend using an In-Ground Pet Fence instead like our Basic PIG00-14582. Should you have any question, please feel free to contact our product experts at 1-800-732-2677.

Can this be used alone? We already have a PetSafe collar so I did not want to buy the set if i didn’t have to

5 years ago
Thank you for this question! A receiver collar is required for this product to work. We are happy to see if the collar you have now is compatible with this unit. Please feel free to reach out to us at 1-800-732-2677 for detailed assistance.

I have 1 transmitter. I haven't been able to use it because it only shows my dogs to barley get 30 ft out front. I have an earth contact . How many feet will another transmitter give? Just from a staight line

5 years ago
Thank you for your great question! This transmitter offers a 90-foot radius when at maximum settings. You can use multiple transmitters so long as there is at least thirty feet of overlap between the two containment systems to give your dog some extra room. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us directly at 1-800-732-2677, and we'll be happy to help!

What’s the shortest distance you can set this to? Smaller than 1/2 acre?

What a great question! The smallest boundary that can be set for this system is as small as a 10-foot radius.

Can one collar be used with multiple boxes in different locations

6 years ago
Hi there, great question! You can absolutely use multiple transmitters with one collar. You will need to ensure that the transmitters are placed inside the residence, in a climate controlled area and positioned to overlap the signal fields.

With the Extra, it will add 1/2 acre to the 3/4 acre i already have with the stay and play? for a total of 1 1/4 acre, is that correct?

6 years ago
Thank you for your question! Rather than acting as signal boosters that increase the range of a transmitter, additional transmitters can be set up in positions where their boundary circles overlap one another in a certain area. This allows the collar to pass between the two circular boundary areas without activating, via that overlap area, which increases the size of the overall boundary area. So while it does increase the overall boundary area, it may not get that full 1 1/4 acre coverage, but rather one 1/2 acre circle and one 3/4 acre circle overlapping one another.

What condition does the transmitter have to be in? Can I put it in my dry shed through winter even though it gets to freezing temps? What about heat/humidity?

Hello, thank you for your question! The transmitter must be kept indoors, in a climate-controlled area.
