PetSafe Stay and Play recently purchased the Wireless Pet Fence for Stubborn Dogs and wanted to share my experience with this innovative product.
I have a German Short-haired Pointer who is extremely active and tends to wander off when left to run free. After using the PetSafe Wireless Pet Fence, I noticed a significant improvement in his behavior within just a few days. The system was easy to set up, and the collar effectively guided him back to the safe zone when he reached the perimeter. I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly my dog learned his boundaries and now enjoys running free without the risk of wandering off.
Key Aspects of the PetSafe Stay & Play Wireless Pet Fence:
The PetSafe Wireless Pet Fence is simple to set up and can be completed in a few hours, with no requirement to bury wires. This system is particularly beneficial for pet owners who are looking for a hassle-free way to create a secure boundary around their yard. The portability of the system makes it ideal for various settings, including camping trips or vacation homes. Additionally, the rechargeable and waterproof receiver collar adds to the convenience, ensuring that your pet remains safe and secure at all times.Effective Training for Stubborn Pets:
The PetSafe Wireless Pet Fence is designed to cater to even the most persistent pets, offering a tone-only mode and five levels of static correction that can be adjusted based on your dog’s response during training. This feature is especially useful for training dogs that tend to be harder to control or have a strong will. The proprietary circular boundary gently guides your dog back to the designated play area, ensuring that they understand and respect the boundaries set by the system.

Cons:
