[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a really cool idea available at a fraction of the price as commercial grade in ground fences. I have three dogs, one of which enjoys the feeling of freedom running through his fur… that being said we try to keep his wandering to a bare minimum and PetSafe Stubborn Dog offers a great solution for others in my boat! The installation process is easy enough and this kit comes with 500 feet of wire so it can cover up to 1/3 of an acre. My yard is a bit bigger, so I wouldn’t need a kit that offers more space to allow

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As someone who fosters dogs, especially those who have been through a lot and are still learning how to feel safe in a new environment, keeping them protected while giving them space to explore is so important to me. The PetSafe Stubborn Dog In-Ground Fence has helped me find that balance. What I appreciate: This system really works well for strong, determined pups who need a little extra encouragement to stay within boundaries. I’ve had a few fosters who were big, curious, and definitely not afraid to test limits. This fence helped me give them a yard to run and play in without constant worry. I love that you can adjust the levels of correction depending on the dog’s needs. I always start with the tone and observe closely how each dog reacts. The goal is never to scare them, just to create a clear and safe boundary they can learn to trust. Once they understand it, most of them do beautifully and gain so much freedom. It’s also great that you can expand it and use it with multiple collars. I often have several dogs in my care, and being able to set up a larger area for them all to share is such a blessing. Things to keep in mind: Installation definitely takes some effort. Laying the wire and figuring out the best layout for your space requires planning and time. If you’re like me and live in a more rural or wooded area, it’s not something you’ll finish in an afternoon. Also, the collar is a little bulky. I wouldn’t use it for a small or more sensitive pup, but for large dogs who are full of energy, it fits just fine. And as with anything like this, consistent, gentle training is key. It takes patience, but it’s so worth it when you see your foster dog confidently and safely enjoying the yard. Final thoughts: This system has made a real difference in my foster journey. It allows me to offer dogs space to be themselves while keeping them safe. It's not a quick fix, but if you're willing to put in the time and approach it with compassion and care, it can be a wonderful tool. Our dogs deserve to feel free and secure, and this helps me offer them both.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was skeptical at first but then I tried it and it worked amazing! My dogs didn’t know how to stay in the yard and after getting this fence they learned real quick where the property line is! I only used about 100 feet of this but I could still add more if I wanted too! ( or if I had the yard for it) I definitely recommend for people with a stubborn dog!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Part of our fence line is down so it’s nice to have this while we are working on the fence. The dogs stay in the area, so it seems to work. Haven’t gotten to use it for long and the battery does seem to die off sooner than I expected, but still a good product.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Lisa! We're so happy to hear your Irish Setter's training is already going so well for her new system. To make sure she fully understands her new system we would recommend going through all the training steps in the manual at her pace. We hope she has many adventures in her yard ahead!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I appreciated that I was able to create a loop on my fence to prevent my pup from jumping/digging near our back fence. While the Petsafe in ground fence is effective, the collar is so large I’m concerned with my dog wearing the collar very often. My pup weighs approx 40lbs and I can’t imagine her trying to sleep with this collar on. The weight of it causes the receiver to constantly hang below her chin, making sleeping look very uncomfortable. Does it work as intended? Yes. Will I use it? Rarely due to the large size. Maybe it would work better for larger dogs.
1 reply from PetSafe® Product Support team - 1 month ago
Thank you for sharing your experience and these concerns with us, Kayla! Please know that this collar is recommended for dogs 8 lbs. and up, so it can certainly be worn safely by a 40 lbs. dog. With this being said, as with any correction collar we would not recommend use of it during hours when your dog would typically be sleeping. These collars are recommended for use when your dog will be playing outside in their yard, for a maximum of 8-12 hours per day. We're so sorry for any misunderstanding. If you have any other questions or concerns or there's anything we can help you with, please get in touch with our live support team here- https://support.petsafe.net/contact-us/ Our phone hours are Monday through Friday 8 A.M.- 7 P.M. EST, and our chat hours are Monday through Friday 9 A.M. – 9 P.M. EST and Saturday 9 A.M. – 6 P.M. EST.

It offers peace of mind and allows our dog the freedom to enjoy the yard within defined limits. Effectiveness: This system delivers on its promise of containing even the most persistent dogs. The progressive correction levels are a key feature, allowing you to tailor the training to your dog's specific temperament. Once the training period is complete, our dog quickly learned and respects the boundaries, allowing for safe and enjoyable outdoor time. Durability: The components of the PetSafe Stubborn Dog In-Ground Fence are built to last. The wire is robust and designed to withstand the elements. The collar receiver also feels durable and capable of handling the wear and tear of an active dog's outdoor adventures. This gives confidence in the long-term reliability of the system.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The collar is waterproof. It has 4 static correction levels. This great, especially with no fenced-in yard and puppy, doesn't have to be tied on a leash. You bury the wire. It comes with training. You can expamd the use up to 25 acres. This one comes with up to a 1/3 an acre. It's perfect for our puppy. Our dog can roam the entire backyard. He doesn't get out. No more chasing him down the neighborhood.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The PetSafe Stubborn Dog In-Ground Fence worked okay, but I had higher expectations.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I highly recommend these systems. Yes, my dog is quite scared by the limits to this day. However, now I have the peace of mind that my pitbull will not run around the neighborhood and get into trouble or danger. Earlier this week, when I let him out, there was a cat less than 10 feet away. He quickly chased him for a few seconds and stopped immediately when the cat ran out of the yard. Perfect! The best thing about this particular necklace is that it works with 9-volt batteries. If you read reviews about other PetSafe collars, people complain a lot about the patented battery. The fact that I use 9 volts is great. I haven't even replaced it in 6 months of use. As a result, this necklace is bulky and heavy. I take it off every time my dog is at home. The actual piece of the necklace is not very high quality and I could imagine replacing it in the future if a clip breaks or something like that. : it works! Your dog will stay in the yard. - It uses 9 volt batteries and has good battery life. - The highest correction is probably too strong, but it works on large or aggressive dogs.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Gabriela! We're glad to hear this system has helped keep your dog safely in his yard. In case this information is helpful, though levels on this collar are stronger they are all very safe and response to them depends wholly on a dog's personality rather than size- some very large dogs may respond fully to the vibration and tone only level, while other very small dogs may disregard every level but the highest. We do not ever recommend the use of correction collars for dogs showing any form of aggression.
