Q: Does the boundary need to make a circle or can it go around the perimeter of a yard and not complete a loop?

submitted by MB - 2 years ago
  • A: The boundary will need to make a complete loop for the system to function as intended. If you need layout assistance, please reach out to our Customer Care team directly at 1-866-738-4379.

Q: If my dog leaves the fence and ignores the original warning/shock, will the collar shock her when she comes back as well? Also, will she continued to get shocked when she is outisde of the perimter?

submitted by Maegan - 3 years ago
  • A: Thank you for your great question, Maegan. The receiver cannot tell what is "inside" versus "outside" the wire. It activates when it is close to the wire and picks up the signal. Therefore, if your dog goes too far past the wire, the receiver collar will stop activating. When your dog then tries to come back into the containment area, the receiver collar would activate again.

submitted by Dolores - 3 years ago
  • A: Thank you for your great question. The fence comes with 500 ft of 20-gauge copper wire.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is a life saver if you have a dog that's not insane. In my neighborhood there are seven houses on our street. We're not allowed to put up fences. I usually put my little dog on a tie out because of that. This fence system is fantastic my dog can't use it because he's insane. He doesn't understand. However, my best friend's little dog uses it perfectly. She did not require much training to grasp the idea. No account of training would help my stubborn dog. So my review is that the product is fantastic if your dog can be trained.

Thank you for taking the time to share this with us! We're so sorry to hear that this system was not the right fit for your dog. Though most dogs can learn their boundaries very well through following the training steps at their pace, as each dog is an individual there are situations where this type of fencing may not be the best fit. Though it wasn't the right solution for him, we're glad to hear that it's working well for your friend's dog.

Keeps my baby safe without sacrificing his freedom

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a Yorkie mom, finding the balance between giving Boy the freedom he craves and keeping him safe in our backyard was tricky, until we installed the PetSafe Basic In-Ground Fence. I love the customizable layout and the adjustable collar, perfect for my backyard and my tiny baby. Some drawbacks about this fence are the wire burying is tedious and the battery powered collar doesn't last long with daily use. But overall, I can now relax on the porch while Boy plays safely in the yard without constant supervision.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently installed the PetSafe Basic In-Ground Fence System for my dog, and overall I’m really happy with the results. The kit came with everything I needed to get started, and the instructions were pretty straightforward for a weekend DIY project. My dog picked up on the boundaries within about 10 days, and it’s been amazing to let him run around safely without a leash. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the initial 500 ft of wire only covers a small area (about 1/3 acre), so I had to purchase extra wire separately for full coverage. Also, burying the wire can be time-consuming depending on your yard. Still, for the price and peace of mind, it’s totally worth it. Would definitely recommend to pet parents with a yard!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This device is great. Took a bit to dig and run it but once done I was amazed. Works great, holds really long battery life. The range has a nice wide area for my dogs to run. Came with one collar but purchased a second for my other dog. Now I don’t have to worry about the little one getting out of the fence anymore. They learned the boundaries fast.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The setup was quick and easy, and the collar is lightweight and adjustable for comfort. It effectively keeps my dog contained within the yard after some initial training. Caution: Since it uses an electric signal, be careful during installation and training, as there’s a risk of your pet getting a shock if they cross the boundary.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this in exchange for my honest review. This is a great tool to have for pet owners looking to establish boundaries for pets while off the leash. I like how customizable it is. You can purchase more wire to cover more area. It’s fairly easy to install. So far it has worked well and fit our needs. I would definitely recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is great because it gives our dog more space and freedom than the regular fence. We love that it can be expanded to give him more space if we need to. It didn't take him long to learn the boundaries. I like that the shock can be adjusted too. We were nervous about the electric fence because we didn't want to hurt him. However, our dog seems more happy now with space and freedom than he did before.

Great off leash boundary to train in

5 out of 5 stars

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so happy to have received the PetSafe basic in-ground fence. It’s great to finally let my dog off leash in the area and not worry about them running away. There is a wire transmitter that is installed indoors to give it power and signal for buried wire. The buried wire runs from the transmitter to your boundary that you create. It came with a waterproof color which uses batteries. There are 4 different corrections levels plus tone for training. There are temporary training flags to help the dog and you visualize the blundering during the training period since it takes time to get used to. The package came with 50ft of wire and dozens of training flags, if you wanted to expand you would need to purchase additional wire. But what I have is perfect for my current backyard.

Thank you for sharing this feedback with us! We're so glad to hear this fence is working well for you and your dog. In case this information is helpful, this fence comes with 500 ft. of wire; this will typically cover a little less than a half acre. If you need to cover a larger area, you can add compatible wire to cover up to 5 acres.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the ability to customize this inground pet fence. You can add additional wire to expand coverage and also have more than one collar at at time if you have multiple pets. Safe and effective on cats and dogs. It took some work to install but nothing too difficult. The collar is waterproof and the battery lasts about 2 months.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We couldn’t be happier with the PetSafe Basic In-Ground Fence! Our energetic dog used to constantly test the limits of our yard, and we were always worried about her safety. Since installing this system, we’ve had complete peace of mind knowing she’s safely contained without the need for an unsightly physical fence. Installation was straightforward with clear instructions, and the adjustable boundaries allowed us to customize the space perfectly for our yard. The collar is lightweight and comfortable for our dog, and after just a few training sessions, she picked up on the boundaries quickly. What we love most is how reliable the system is. Rain or shine, it works flawlessly. It’s also very affordable compared to other containment options and offers great quality for the price. Provides great range, our yard is pretty big but still allows great service Highly recommend this to any pet owner looking for a safe, effective way to give their dog freedom while keeping them secure! My pet absolutely loves it as you can tell from his photo and we love it too! No headaches anymore

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This invisible in-ground fence from PetSafe was exactly what I needed to keep my dogs out of my garden. The setup was quick and easy—especially with a little help from my husband. The only concern I have is with the receiver collar. My dogs are pretty clever, and the collar fits a bit loosely, so I’m worried I may need to replace it soon. I also plan to purchase a second collar for my other lab, who’s more active. That said, once we had everything installed and let one of our labs into the yard, he quickly learned to stay away from the garden. Overall, I’d recommend this system to anyone looking for an effective way to create boundaries for their pets

The fence works great as long as the receiver collar stays on your dog. Had a problem with the receiver collar coming loose and falling off. The last time it fell off I didn’t realize it until it was too late. I now have to buy a replacement color for my him, because it came loose and fell off of him, and he proceeded to chew it up!

Not at rated power

I bought this as a replacement but it doesn't give the same power as my older units. We have 2 acres and this model does not have the power to do more than a ft from the wire. I had ordered another assuming the one I had was defective, but the replacement was the same. It does not cover the 5 acres as advertised. I put an older model in that does cover the 5 acres well one, that claims 25 acres, but the 5 acre model sucks.

We're sorry to hear you're having difficulty with your system! It is crucial to mention that there are many reasons collars may not activate at the wire other than a full break in the wire or a transmitter issue- there could be partial breaks, signal interference, layout incompatibility issues, etc. We do apologize for any misunderstanding. So that we can troubleshoot with you and determine what's occurring in your specific situation, please contact our Customer Care team here- https://support.petsafe.net/ Our phone hours are Monday through Friday 8 A.M.- 7 P.M.
