There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
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.
Installation: The install is easy and straightforward. The tip to use a drill to wind the wire (for areas that you do not want to be secured) works great. Me and my ten year old son knocked out the install in a couple of hours on a 1/4 acre backyard.
Training: As many have mentioned, do not hurry the training. Take your time and follow the instructions to the letter.
My experience using it for 22 months: It works perfectly. However, I quickly realized that part of the reason it works so well is that my dog is really a wimp. We have never had to move the collar setting past the lowest. She has only ever been zapped maybe 4-5 times, including during the training. She hears the buzz and she stops. She will not chase a ball past the line and trample our garden, and she will not escape into the street. If you have a dog that simply doesn't care about the pain and would rather deal with it to get out of your property, then this may not work for you. To illustrate how well this has worked for me, I changed the battery in the collar for the first time today. I expect the next battery may last three years or more.
Notes: We hoped that our dog may stop needing the collar to go out. But this has proven false. She still doesn't run away but she is smart enough to test the boundaries and wander past them if she gets a chance. The collar has been great in rain, snow, heat etc. We don't have to worry about a tight fit because the sound it emits is enough to keep her in the yard.
I was so pleased that I was able to place the wires so that it only protected two areas: The vegetable garden, and the opening where she could escape to the street (these areas are pretty far apart). All I had to do was wind the wires according to the instructions everywhere except where I wanted it to act as a fence. In the areas I wanted to it act as a fence, I made sure the single wire stayed at least 5 feet away from the other side of the loop.
What needs improvement? Almost nothing. I do wish there were more accurate settings for how far your dog can be from the wire to make it give the warning ring. But it's close enough to not be a big issue.

Through the bottom but then come
Back around through the top and your fence must be at least 6 feet high. We had three breaks that were easy enough to splice back together. You then have to have the home base of the unit inside a warm place. We have a heated garage so we had to drill through the wall and connected the wires. After finally installing it all I could not believe that I now have a dog that no longer escapes!!!!!!!! My husband thought I was crazy and it would never work BUT it really did. She now doesn’t even go close to the outer fence and it was all soooo worth doing. I will say I have a friend who tried this without the existing fence and their dog would just run right through it.. that’s my story and I hope it all works out for anyone else who purchases this product. Cheers
