It became evident that we needed to contain our dog when the dog pound brought him home one day. The lady was nice and gave us warning. She also explained about the leash law.

I purchased this unit to contain our dog for a few weeks while we built a fence. Worked well when used in the front yard where there is flat level ground. The back yard is 80 feet long and has a 10 foot drop over about a 30 foot span, right in the middle of the yard and we found that the system did not work well where the ground drops so dramatically. We were able to walk the collar out of transmitter range, without any correction response, simply by walking down the hill. Apparently the signal does not detect the collar when it drops below a certain line.

I programmed the units to match the yard, ie, one unit at the skinny part of the yard is on less than full power so it gives coverage in the yards and to the street, the other unit is at full power so it gives as much coverage as possible into the wide part of the yard. This one also covers the driveway on the front of the house.

Something to watch out for when buying one of these. The price at a (well known) pet supply store was 0. We found the exact item at a home center one mile away for 9. It’s worth shopping around.

All you need is a wall inside your house or garage to mount it on with the (included) mounting screws with plastic drywall inserts, and an available, standard household electrical outlet.

Now, I can open the door and let him out without fear that he will run off. I would highly recommend this product for anyone who has a defiant dog. It will keep the dog in the perimeter.

Once I figured out the lowest correction level I could use for each dog it has worked flawlessly. The dogs learned that the beep means “Uh oh!” so they will even jump back out of my truck if they jump in with a collar on, the metal body blocks the signal and the beeps start. Taking them for walks with the collars off is fine which is one thing that I had worried about, ie, I did not want them to be spooked about going past the boundaries. Car rides are fine when their collars are off since they are used to being in the driveway.

Another recommendation would be to purchase extra batteries for the collar and have them on hand. The collar will let you know when the batteries are running low. The batteries are cheap and I replace mine every 3 or 4 months.
