    • Don't need double loop for just the backyard
Size: 500 ft (1/3 Acre) Style: 20 Gauge Wire Kit
Experience notes - My husky rescue is awesome and has a ton of energy. Walking, exercising her, and getting all the "indestructible" chew toys did not keep her from digging and chewing at our nice, new wooden fence to the point she destroyed areas of the fence. I was skeptical about this unit until I saw the results. She has been training inside already with a different collar that I can send "beep" commands to when she doesn't listen to verbal commands, or she is about to get into the trash can, etc. This I think made it much easier to train her with this fence system and collar because it will beep before she gets into the "correction" zone. With this unit she stops, then backs up without needing the "correction" because she hears the beeping and knows to stop what she's doing. She can get within about 2 feet of the fence before it starts beeping. Which, in my situation is perfect. She has plenty of other yard space to run and play so this keeps her away from the fence I'm trying to preserve. Our dog did get a correction once when my daughter threw a toy too close to the fence, I changed the setting from 5 to 3 after that on the collar as I felt it was too harsh (she yelped pretty loud when it happened). Keep in mind, that you will need to let everyone in your household know and make sure they aren't getting your pup to go into the correction zone like my daughter accidentally did. Install notes - In the instructions, it notes that if you aren't surrounding the entire property area you would need to run a double-loop of the wire with a 5-foot gap between the wire to not unintentionally cancel the signal. I'm lazy and did not want to have the wire looping all the way back around my fence OR have to run it all the way around the front yard as well. Solution? I stapled the single-wire setup low on my wooden fence (but on top of the lower support so my weed whacker doesn't hit it) and when I got to where the fence met the side of the house I just ran the wire up the wall high near the roof line all the way back to where the receiver is to create the "single wire setup". Oh, and I did not put the receiver inside either (it's suggested to be indoors and run the loop cable outside). I tucked mine up under the eve of my back porch high above where the dog house is and out of the elements as I already have power there for an outdoor camera setup. You might be asking.... if I installed the loop wire above the dog house, how isn't the dog getting 'corrected' for being near it? The wire is 8 ft above the ground in that area. I have the power setting turned to 5 on the receiver and it's perfect. My dog now knows not to go near the fence edge but it doesn't trigger the collar in the area where the wire is run up high because it's out of range. Just make sure to walk around with the collar at the height it would be on your dog's neck while it's walking normally near the areas with the wire to dial in the settings correctly. For mine, I had it on the end of a stick hanging low and walked around the yard. Once I got to the roof line area where the wire was run high I put it a little higher than she can stand on her hind legs to make sure even if she stands up near the back of the house (playing, jumping, etc) it would not trigger it. Hopefully this helps! ... show more

    • Works perfectly with two young beagles
Size: 500 ft (1/3 Acre) Style: 20 Gauge Wire Kit
This product saved our lives. Our two young rescue beagles loved to chase rabbits and the first time they crossed the road they went on leash, all the time. They HATED being tied up outside, so we spent all our time taking them out, and they really missed doing their zoomies. We bought this fence and installed it ourselves. Rented a trencher to do the digging for us, which still wasn't easy. It's like pushing a huge rototiller. But took us a couple days, spending a couple hours per day. We bought extra wire and fenced in approximately two acres. Granted, our dogs are a tad skittish, but the beeping of the collar was enough to train them. Took two days to train them on it. In the first few days each of them got one (not very strong) shock and that was it. We marked the borders, they figured them out, and 8 months later, it's still working perfectly and they have never crossed it. They chase rabbits and deer and turkeys and chipmunks and squirrels to the perimeter and stop. And the squirrels and rabbits now seem to know just where the dogs can and can't go. This was a lifesaver, and we have two of the happiest dogs you've ever seen, with two acres of territory to roam and sniff and carouse in. They are outside constantly and we don't worry. And the service is GREAT. One of the collars fell apart, basically, in the first month or so. The screws fell out of it and the dog came inside with it that way. I went outside to find what was left and of course they had chewed it up. Called the company, service was wonderful, and we had a new collar within a week. Can't say enough good about this PetSafe fence! ... show more

    • Works Great
Size: 500 ft (1/3 Acre) Style: 20 Gauge Wire Kit
We took in a rescue dog a couple of months ago. He was let go by his former owner because he kept running away and getting picked up by the pound. We were asked by the rescue association to take him in because we have a large fenced in yard with a 6 foot high wood and wire fence. Right away "Freckles" found out a way to get out under the fence. We closed up the hole but he ran away again the next day. This went on for weeks. We would fix the holes and Freckles would find a new place to get out. Thankfully he had a tag with his name and the rescue association's phone number so we would get a phone call within a couple of hours from some friendly neighbor who had captured Freckles. We finally realized that we could not win. Our escape artist was smarter than us. So I started to do research on electronic fences. The best rated fence is the wireless kind, but you need to have a yard that is a perfect circle for that to work. Our yard is a rectangle. If Freckles was allowed to go to the back of the yard the correction area was outside of our fence on the sides. The dog would have been able to get out of the fence and not be "corrected" (shocked) until he was in the neighbor's yard. So I settled on an in-ground fence. Freckles is a Brittany. Brittanys, like beagles, are known for following their noses and running off. He is not being bad - just chasing birds, butterflies, squirrels or his favorite - a rabbit. In the front yard I used an electric edger to dig the shallow 1" trench. This is several inches above the utilities in the front yard - so no worries. In the back yard I ran the wire along the top rail of the wood fence and used plastic zip ties to tie the wire to the top of the wire fence. It took a day to install the fence. When I installed the battery in the collar I had the setting on the wired unit turned all the way up. So I got a shock. It wasn't that bad. It surprised me more than hurt me. I turned the setting down to half as much and now the correction area is within 10 feet of the wire. As Freckles approaches the fence he hears an audible tone to warn him to turn around. If that does not stop him, he gets a shock. Within an hour he learned to stop and turn around when the tone sounded. He learned quickly that he can not go out of the front door or garage door - even with the door wide open. As I showed Freckles his new boundaries I told him to "be careful" as he approached the correction area. It was funny that he was very in tune to my warning to "be careful". When I told him to be careful he would stop and look at me - way before he heard the tone. He is really a smart dog. Finally our escape artist can be free to run the yard and we don't have to worry about him finding a new place to get under the fence. It should be noted that the brains of the system must be inside the house. It can not be exposed to rain or freezing temperatures. I installed ours above the garage door. I ran the wire along the door jamb and then into the ground. It should also be noted that corners can not be run at 90 degrees. All angles must have a 3 foot arch to keep the corner from becoming a dead zone where the dog can get out. The 500 feet that came with the fence was not enough. Our friendly home depot sold us another 500 feet of wire for $25. The wire is not in the electronic section. It was with the ceiling fans. After a lot of research, I decided to purchase the fence from Amazon. They have always been great with their return policy. They also had the best price. I paid the extra $10 to have the fence sent to me in two days. You only save about $40 on a used unit from eBay with a good chance of getting a used unit that doesn't work. The lighting protection unit by this manufacturer is not very well rated. So I purchased a $20 surge protector to plug the extension cord into. I ran the extension cord from the light in the garage door opener to the fence system "brains" above the garage door. I attached the wires in the garage and on the wood fence with small 1 inch fence staples - being very careful not to puncture the wire. Where I had to coil up the extension cord I used a 16 penny nail to hang the wire on. So the bottom line is that this thing is great. Highly recommended. ... show more
