This PetSafe Wireless Pet Containment System Receiver Collar has been a game changer for us. It works great at keeping my dogs within the boundary, and I honestly never have to worry about them escaping anymore. Setup was straightforward, and once the boundary was set, the collar performed exactly as advertised. My dogs learned the limits quickly, and the system has been consistent and reliable. It gives me real peace of mind knowing they’re safe while still having the freedom to enjoy the yard. The collar is comfortable for them to wear, and I appreciate how dependable it has been day after day. No more chasing dogs down the street or stressing every time they go outside. If you’re looking for a wireless containment system that actually works and keeps your dogs secure, I highly recommend this one. Read more
Have 3 dogs all different sizes. These collars work great! Keeping my dogs in a specific area and range provides them safety. Batteries last about a month Read more
This collar is an extra for my wireless containment system. This works perfectly for my active dog. He is able to move around freely without being able to run off and get lost. Very easy to setup and use. You can buy replacement batteries as needed. Ours usually lasts around a month but that is with 24/7 usage. We have multiple dogs on this system with no issues. The collar is adjustable to whatever size you need, and it is very durable material. Read more
My dog's previous collar required replacement after one of the contact posts was lost. Given the age of the original unit, I opted for a new replacement while retaining the old one as a spare. The new collar is an exact match for the previous model. The construction of both the collar strap and the receiver unit appears consistent with the original, leading me to expect a comparable or extended service life. To proactively ensure longevity, I intend to perform routine checks to confirm that the contact posts remain securely fastened to the receiver unit. Pairing the new collar with the wireless transmitter was a straightforward process. Following a successful pairing, a perimeter test of the wireless boundary confirmed that the collar functions precisely as anticipated. Read more
I had 2 of these collars "go bad" on me. I was about to order a 3rd, but something kept nagging at me to call PetSafe after reading they had a replacement option after the warranty was expired. I SHOULD HAVE CALLED FOR SUPPORT after the first one! :) The PetSafe agent had me bend the metal battery tab with the bump on it up (be careful not to break it!) & both collars worked perfectly again. I don't know why I didn't think to try that. Also, the agent was very pleasant, spoke clear English, & my hold time was just a couple minutes. Thank you PetSafe for making great products & having great support. Yes, there are a couple downfalls to this product, but they ALL beat putting in a wired fence for me since I would have to go under an asphalt. The downfalls I have encountered are my two dogs do get out on occasion & some days their collars beep once randomly & somewhat frequently when they are laying around the house (other days, we never hear a beep). When they get out (which is very rare - maybe 5 times in 5-10 years), I don't know if it is a fluctuation in the wireless signal, if they just don't care (because they are going after stray cats in an abandoned building next to us...I would imagine that is too tempting & exciting to care about the shock sometimes, ha!), or both. The beep inside scares them, so I feel bad for that, but it doesn't appear to shock, which it shouldn't be by the way it is designed. PetSafe recommends they don't wear the collars inside, but it is a hassle to take them on & off, especially during the summer when we are in & out so much. Also, outside, it seems like sometimes they don't hear the beep if they are barking non-stop & loudly because suddenly they'll yelp & run back towards the house, but again, they may just be ignoring it. Even considering all of this, I love this system and recommend it highly. I would buy it again. Read more
Very effective keeps my crazy cattle dog close to home. Read more
I've been using these for over 20 years. Very good product. I prefer it over a buried wire, because it doesn't punish the dog for coming home if they do cross the border. The collars are a little light duty, but suffice. If you want to install the receiver on another collar, mark the holes using the original, sharpen the inside of an empty 9mm case or suitable tubing, and chuck it in a drill. Makes perfect holes. My unit shut down, and I thought it was toast, so ordered a new one, it turned out to just be the power supply. I replaced it, and all's well. I installed the 2nd unit in another location in my house to increase the area. Read more
