If the city/county where you live has a leash law, it probably does NOT recognize a wireless "fence" as an acceptable option.

NOR will any Campground.

On leash means 'physical restraint' not an invisible restraint

Have to agree with Old Biscuit on this.

My son had one for a few years - worked great on his "soft" Aussie; the Catahoula would occasionally run through the barrier if he had a strong enough desire (squirrel); and then as others say - he couldn't come back until they took his collar off.

We have had one for the last nine years. They are mfg by Pet Safe. I bought two transmitters so it would cover all the way around our house. One is mounted near the ceiling in the garage and the other one is upstairs at the opposite end. Since it transmits in a circular pattern they are positioned so the circles overlap. After about a month of our big dog testing the white flags he learned very quickly his boundaries. Today I do not even bother to put his collar on because he will not venture on his own out of those imaginary circles. I also had it set on the strongest shock.

And yes, I tried it on myself to see if it was too much for him. It got my attention for sure.

As mentioned, many high energy dogs will run right through an electric fence, because they figure out quickly that the zap is temporary. However, they won't come back in the yard because they don't want to get zapped again. Other dogs become very paranoid about them and will refuse to go outside or anywhere near the fence, especially if they've been previously zapped.

The greatest danger is not being able to control who or what comes into your yard, possibly rendering your pet defenseless.

Yes have used one for years at home & camping because can adjust range. we were in an RV in Arizona for 3 months & used it. adjusted range to size of campsite. no ropes to untangle .
worked great

Is this for home use OR are you thinking for Campground Sites?

Neighbor has a small mutt.....heinz 57 type.

Has run the neighborhood for YEARS......up and down the street acting like the Big Dog on the Block (only cause rest of neighbors have there dogs in fenced yards)

Something changed/caused change cause Buck is no longer running about.
Neighbor got/installed one of those boundary fences and collar.

Ole Buck stays HOME.


Collars come with different length prongs/stud/contacts for various skins and hair lengths/thicknesses
