(More customer reviews)I have a little pug dog. Great little dogs by the way, I'd give them a 5 out of 5! Anyway, my lucky pug lives in a house that sits on about 1 acre. The street is about 20 yards in front of the house, and we don't have a fence. The back of the house is a hill with trees, and again, no fences. He is usually good about sticking with me when we are outside, and our street isn't busy, BUT I still have to watch him every minute. I was looking for a solution where I could at least let him be outside by himself when I am home (with me inside OR outside), and this solution delivered the goods.
Setup is easy. The unit comes with EVERYTHING you need, including TWO special rechargeable batteries for the collar, and plenty of marking flags (optional for you to use) where you can outline the perimeter of the fence. The unit is completely adjustable in level of shock (from just an auditory alarm to a pretty good jolt). The system also allows for multiple collars, with varying shock levels and perimeters. But I only have the one dog, so I just needed to setup the one collar that came with the kit.
So after charging the battery and turning on the main unit, it was time to locate the perimeter. The system is completely adjustable in 1 foot increments, from 40 feet all the way to 400 (as I recall ... I wound up going with a radius of about 100 feet). You can "test" the perimeter by walking around with the collar to see when the alarm sounds on the collar, and on the unit. Yes - if there is one GREAT feature that I wasn't expecting, it is the alarm on the main unit. So if the dog is outside and you are inside, you'll hear the alarm go off on the main unit if he crosses the line. In addition, the collar sounds an alarm first, and then a few seconds later applies the shock, so the dog quickly learns that if he hears the alarm it is time to turn tail and run. The marking flags can be put up as you locate the full perimeter (which is not a "perfect" circle, since the design of your house and geography will determine the exact perimeter), so if the dog sees the flags, they quickly learn to not go beyond that point. And once they learn the approximate perimeter, then you can put up the flags for good.
So is there anything I didn't like? Well, the perimeter range seemed to vary in some of the "weaker" signal areas. In other words, sometimes the boundary seems to vary + or - about 10 feet. But if you have a large area, that really isn't a big deal. Also, this solution is great for my situation, but if you live in a small yard near a busy street, I wouldn't risk the safety of your pet ... just spring for a real fence. Finally, the size of the collar is a little bit bulky, but it didn't bother my dog at all.
In summary, if you are looking for a fast and inexpensive solution to keep your dog(s) in your yard, then I would highly recommend this product!
