PetSafe Stay & Play Compact Wireless Dog & Cat Fence

I ordered this compact version as it indicated that the collar was for smaller sized dogs. However the collar does NOT even get small enough for our 8lb dog and the transmitter is the same size as the one we had years ago for our great dane! I will be calling Pet Safe to verify if the collar sent was correct or if they have a smaller collar. If there ks now way yo get a smaller collar this will be returned. So disappointed....as the picture would show, definitely does not get down to a six inch size

I had high hopes for this product but it does not work. It shocked the dog in the house near the unit and allowed the dog to go out of range without correction. It really does not work well.

Wow, what a piece of junk, I’m so incredibly disappointed in this product. After trying to set the flags I realized how terrible this product is. The boundary line would make the collar beep, I’d set the flags, then test the collar again. The boundaries are very very inconsistent.I could go far beyond a flag, and other times it would beep way ahead of where I set the flags. The inconsistency is maddening. What a joke of a product, Pet safe should be ashamed to sell it to the public. Thanks for wasting my evening Petsafe with your inferior product.

This was the worst product I have ever purchased for an animal. Completely not user friendly. Continued to shock my dog while she was in my house. We tried over and over to change the frequency and the range. DO NOT PURCHASE!!!!

I have it inside a metal trailer due to my home burning down last year. It works pretty good considering it's inside what amounts to a Faraday cage. I felt terrible leaving my girl locked up in this trailer all day while I work, and now I can leave her outside on good weather days. She can't run all 10 acres like before, but she has room to move. She already respects the flags in just a few days. Does not do as well as the hard wired version I had before, but does good when hard wire is not the right solution. If there was a weather resistant perch for outdoor mounting, it would probably do very well. (hint, hint, hint) A plexiglass enclosure/mount or similar that would not inhibit signal I have it inside a metal trailer due to my home burning down last year.

Our 1200 sqft house 2 story house sit on 3/4 of an acre. With this transmitter in the center of the house our dog can’t leave the porch front or back. Read the description well! It’s 50 Ft from the transmitter on all sides. 3/4 of an acre they are counting the dome, that presumable, u less your dog can fly or you have a yard that’s elevated on a 2nd story?! You’ll never use 1/2 of it’s reachable space. The advertising on this unit is misleading and frankly a pain in the butt. How many other now have to return this item. Save us some time and be honest about the max reach of this device. 210 diameter, that’s all the way around the circle btw, on flat ground or around 50ft from the transmitter.

works very well for training our great pyrenees livestock guardian dogs where their boundaries are. they have learned very quickly (within the first 10 minutes of it being set up) that when the collar starts beeping, it means that is not their area. not even a week after use, they knew where they were allowed to go and not allowed to go just by landmarks, not beeping. before, they were dogs who thought they owned the place, could run around and roam wherever they wanted to, but now they know that is not the case.

We received the Pet safe wireless fence yesterday and love it. Once we charged the collar, we set up the fence in 30 minutes. Put our puppy on a leash and walked her around her new boundary. Needed to turn it up to a 4. She's a smart, high energy, mini Berndoodle, with a stubborn personality 4 months old, 15 pounds currently. Shocked 3 or 4 times and shes off the leash! Peace of mind for us now when we are outside on the back porch. No longer trying to get her to return to us and her running away. The wireless fence works great!

I'm very pleased with the ease of setting up the fence and it's effectiveness especially since I'm using it in a heavily wooded area. My two labs are accustomed to an electric fence and so no training was required. The additional collar was a bit expensive but worth the peace of mind. The true test occurred when the UPS driver, who always has treats, pulled into the driveway and the dogs stopped on a dime as soon as they heard the tone. They were disappointed to not receive a treat but I was elated.

I really wanted this to work for our situation, in a neighborhood where no fences are allowed. Unfortunately the signal is blocked by tree branches and shrubs. This creates an area of 20' x 40' for our dogs, when we have almost .20 acres for them to run on. I will be returning this item.
