PetSafeGuardian GPS Dog Fence – No Subscription – Create Your Own Wireless Fence for Dogs – for Yards 3/4 Acres or Larger – World's Safest GPS Dog Fence Tech – New, Redesigned Collar

Think it won't happen to you? Yeah, neither did I, but six months ago my 5 year old Border Collie/German Shepherd Dog chased a squirrel out into the road and got clipped by a car. She was lucky; only a broken front leg, but the leg was broken badly, had problems healing and six months, countless animal hospital visits, two surgeries and shock wave therapy later, she is finally able to roam free in the yard again.I have over two acres of land and two dogs. My other dog is a 7 year old German Shepherd mix as well and while she respects her boundaries, my five year old tends to get "in the zone" when she is chasing something and nothing else matters. Until now that is...I bought two of these units so that I can overlap the signal and got two collars that way. Set up was a breeze; the worst part is figuring out where you want your boundaries to be and then setting the flags. They are pretty much plug and play once the collars are charged. I have a garage on the back of my property so putting one there and one in the house garage ended up working near perfectly, with the exception that it creates a bit of a figure eight, so the boundary is pretty narrow in some spots. Obviously if I moved the units closer together this would not be an issue but I wanted to get the maximum acreage out of the units to allow my dogs as much freedom as possible while still keeping them safe.I won't lie to you...it hurts to train them, especially if they are older dogs and have had a lot more freedom in the past. It takes them a few days to understand why they can't go the same places that they used to and when they get the "correction" it momentarily hurts them and confuses them. Yes, it hurts. I tried it on myself. It hurts while it happens but leaves no lasting effect. When they yelp and jump it will break your heart, but it is absolutely needed. The level of correction depends on the dog. My older dog was on a 3 and was traumatized for two days afterward but has since gotten over it. My younger dog, the one that got hit by a car, was not phased by 3 at all and I ended up giving her the highest setting. It only took two corrections for her to understand that when she hears the beep she'd better turn back and get back onto the property. Tonight she was chasing a bird at full speed and stopped short before the boundary. I was amazed.Is the system expensive? You betcha. But it's worth every penny. After spending upwards of $6k to fix my girl after getting hit by a car, trust me, it's a pretty small price to pay. Not to mention not having to walk her in the yard on the cold New England winter nights anymore which is priceless. I love that they can once again use the doggie door to the house and come and go as they please without me ever worrying that they will leave their yard. It only takes 10 seconds for them to make a bad decision and get hurt.A couple of notes:I had some issues with wishy-washy boundaries and lack of beeping/correction when I first set it up and read that you should not place near metal objects. Since both of my units were in garages and near cars/metal door frames, etc. mounting the units up high on the walls as far away as possible from metal corrected that issue.MAKE SURE YOUR COLLARS ARE CHARGED! They will emit a beep when they need to be charged and it confuses your poor dog if they are in the yard when it beeps or if they hear the beep while they are in the house. I turn the collars off now when not in use (whenever they are in the house) and make sure they are charged as often as possible. My next door neighbor has the other unit with the battery operated collars and constantly complains that the batteries do not last long at all, so the fact that these collars are rechargeable was another plus for me. We shall see how long they last.This product gets a five star rating from me. It has only been a few weeks since I received it but I am already very pleased with the peace of mind it has given me, ease of use and how quickly my dogs adapted to it.

This thing is absolute crap. It will shock when it shouldn’t and let the dog run past boarders. It’s a very dangerous device. We’ve used other wireless pet fences without issue and were familiar with how to properly use them. I quickly returned and bought the wired one you have to bury (to give our dog more area to run). The wired one is much more accurate & effective.

I gifted this to a friend for her Great Pyrenees, and while it didn’t end up working for their current yard (more on that below), we were both impressed with the quality and thoughtful design of the system.First off, setup was super easy. The included instructions are clear, and getting the collar paired with the system and walking the perimeter took hardly any time at all. We loved that there’s no monthly subscription required for the GPS tracking—huge bonus compared to other systems!The important part to know: the collar requires a fairly large yard (at least 3/4 acre) and needs about 25 feet of clearance from roads or streets. Unfortunately, that made it a no-go for her current setup in a smaller suburban yard. However, she's planning to use it at their family farm where the space won't be an issue.If you have the yard space and don’t want to deal with subscriptions, this is a fantastic option. I’ve included a picture of her big boofer (very fluffy, so you can’t quite see the collar) and a shot of what comes in the box. The design is sleek, and it appears to be well-made overall! Nice collar with adjustable sizing for your dog, and she didn't have any issues with it out of the box, yay!Definitely read the space requirements before purchasing—but if you’re good on that front, this is a solid, no-fuss GPS dog fence solution.

The media could not be loaded. I absolutely love how easy it is to use! The manual and the instructions on commands are incredibly accurate and straightforward, making it accessible for most people. My dog is absolutely loving it since it works like a charm and feels soft and durable. The battery life is impressively long and super easy to charge. Honestly, it fits my dog's neck perfectly, PetSafe truly knows how to create amazing products definitely worth the investment, the material is durable and waterproof which is for sure a plus, Thank you Petsafe!

I’m really impressed with how safe and reliable this GPS dog fence is. The collar is lightweight, comfortable for my dog, and the battery lasts almost a week on one charge. I love that there are no monthly fees, which saves me money. Setup was super simple using the app, and I did everything from my couch. The customizable correction options give me full control over what works best for my dog.

When the weather is clear and there are no trees obstructing, the collar is usually accurate within 20 feet, which is already not great. During rain, however, the gps fence line moves randomly. Today, it shocked her even though she was not close to any line (we have five acres and she was in the middle of it). So, I took the collar off my poor baby girl and put the collar on the kitchen table so I could soothe her. After sitting on the table, motionless, for 10 min, it randomly started beeping and vibrating and shocking the air. Just the sound of it sent my 65lb German Shepherd puppy running to the safety of her crate. Fortunately, I'm still within the return product window. This collar would be totally worth the price if it worked, but it most definitely does NOT work.
