Petsafe Pig00-11115 Rechargeable In-ground Fence

This product has saved my sanity and greatly enhanced our Golden Retriever’s quality of life! No more “Houdini acts” from our dog Boomer since installing this system. Setup- The instructions are clear and thorough. I was able to set the system up within two days, covering over an acre of land. The hardest part of the setup was twisting the wires back to the house for a neutral line, but once using a power drill, it went quickly. I did buy extra wire and flags. We have a tight space around part of our home, but also a wide open space that stops at the tree line/ natural yard and the A setting works perfectly. I buried all the wire close to the house but waited for falling leaves to cover the most of spots near the tree/ brush line. Training- I took 2 days to train but I continued the training up for 3 more days just to be sure our dog understood his space. He was definitely timid for a couple of weeks and cautiously explored his new parameters before he was able to 100% enjoy his free time/ roaming. We played with him in the larger spaces to make sure he understood he wouldn’t get a beep or shock for fetching a ball within the flagged area. I kept the flags up for about two to three months, slowly removing them once I was certain our pup was familiar with his boundaries. Golden Retrievers are notoriously one of the more difficult breeds to contain with these sorts of systems. From experience, even with being out in the yard with him constantly, if my attention wasn’t 100% on him, our Golden would dart away in a second to visit neighbors. He was determined to spread his sunny personality with everyone he could before getting outted or frantic calling to come home. Collar Battery- The collar stays charged for an extremely long period of time. Our Golden isn’t testing the boundaries regularly so there isn’t extra strain on the device. The most he needs is a beep to move back to his safe space. Full disclosure- We do not leave our Golden outside when we are away, even for a quick outing. He is able to be trusted while we are at home to do his business and a solo stroll around the property. We do have to keep an eye out for him still, mainly because he’s become a hole digger. We have neighboring dogs that come into his parameter and play, but he stays in his designated area regardless. We also have children that use our yard as a path between neighborhoods and he is a “good boy” whether they give him attention or not. Customer service-We purchased this unit 9/12/21 and the collar stopped turning on but was still charging. I contacted customer service, spoke with a lovely representative, and a new device free of charge is being sent in the next 3 to 5 days. I don’t even think he will notice but for now he has a remote training collar on for a “just in case.”

Large fit range. Easy to use

This replaced a 12-year old collar that failed and works as well as the original. The regular price is too high. Fortunately when I bought this, it was on sale. Still high, but much better.

Installed it around a 1 acre garden. Digging in the wire was easier than expected since it doesn't have to go deep. Did it manual with a straight shovel. Once installed, testing was easy and it turned out to be much more reliable than the wireless version that i tried before. There is about 3-4meter height difference in my garden so that may be the reason I had to send the wireless version back and installed the in-ground one. Our dog was quick to learn and understand the boundaries and following the recommended training schedule, I was able to let her off leash in 2 weeks of training (supervised). Even with big distractions like seeing neighbour walking her dog or throwing her favourite toy over the border, she stays within the boundaries. Use a long leash to grow confidence in the system and your dog. For those wondering if your dog suffers from the stimulation (getting zapped): our dog (mini australian shepherd / border collie mix) with short fur yelped once at the lowest stimulation level and got zapped once maybe twice only after which she understood the boundaries. Not worse than when someone steps on her paws by accident. Beats getting hit by a car in my book!

El producto no me funcionó al 100%, a veces es intermitente y nunca entendí por qué. Pero aunque mi perro aprendió muy bien el límite del área en la que podía estar, un buen día se echó a correr siguiendo a otro perro y los toques no le hicieron nada como para que cambiara de opinión y se me escapó. Pasé toda la noche buscándolo, fue una pesadilla. Quizás debería tener un dispositivo para poder localizar al animal a través de una app, una vez que haya traspasado la cerca electrónica. Mi perro es grande, como de unos 50 kilos. Quizás funcione bien con perros pequeños.
