Comments about PetSafe Instant Fence with PIF-275 Receiver:
This system was pretty simple to set up. We have a sloped yard but this was no problem. Our Little Odie just get a shorter area to play. It is worth it, cause we can leave her outside and not have to worry getting close to the road in front of the house. After being zapped a couple time, she figure out the safe area. It has been rabbit tested and stray dog tested. She hears the beep and heads back to the house.....:)

Comments about PetSafe Instant Fence with PIF-275 Receiver:
We have used this product for 2 years now. The first year was great. Set up was easy, the dog responded well to training, all was well. Then our next door neighbors installed an inground fence. The problems began. Pet Safe personnel were really helpful and we figured out that the neighbor's signal was interferring with our signal. We dialed our system in, and again life was good. Then AT&T installed a new wire in our yard...and the signal is hit and miss. I was told by Pet Safe that the if the signal gets close to other wires with electric current the signal can jump to that wire and break the barrier. It is a great product...we just wish that we could get it working reliably again!

Comments about PetSafe Instant Fence with PIF-275 Receiver:
THIS WAS RECOMMENDED TO ME. I HAVE 2 BOXERS & A LAB, A DOG DOOR THAT GOES INTO A FENCED BACK YARD. DIDNT THINK I NEEDED THIS, BUT NOW I NEVER WORRY WHEN THE DOGS BOLT OUT THE FRONT DOOR, THEY CAN PLAY IN THE FRONT YARD WITH MY FAMILY & FRIENDS. MY LAB LOVES TO GO OUT THE SIDE DOOR AND LOOK AT THE GARDEN AND FRUIT TREES AND JUST WALK AROUND, NOW I NEVER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT HER RUNNING OFF. I HAVE 3 OTHER FRIENDS WHO HAVE THIS AND THEY SWEAR BY IT.

Comments about PetSafe Instant Fence with PIF-275 Receiver:
We adopted a stray black lab that had been used to running. It stayed home when we were home and tried to follow us if we tried to leave. The wireless system works well and he still has plenty of room to roam. We sometimes take it off when we are home for sure. That gives him more room to run. It has worked well.

This is the most awesome product I have ever purchased for my dog! Within one weekend, my husband and I had perfect results! Our lives have changed for the better because of this fence...we don't worry about our dog (yorkie/westie mix)running across the street or running away. Worth every cent! Thanks to pet-super-store and PetSafe for saving our dog's life and my sanity!

Comments about PetSafe Instant Fence with PIF-275 Receiver:
Out of the box and operational in 15 minutes. Directions are clear and easy to follow. Setting up the collar and the transmitter was quick. Took about 10 minutes to adjust the power and range. Libby the dog (an eight yr old Lab) may only take 2-3 training sessions to figure this out as after the first session was leary of going past the flags. We are very please with the product and performance.

When I called in with a few questions the staff was helpful and reassuring. I was skeptical because of a sloping hillside, but after moving the transmitter a few times everything worked smoothly.

Comments about PetSafe Instant Fence with PIF-275 Receiver:
With no "work" required to set it up, I was a little apprehensive, but this product worked like a charm. My dogs do their business and then come back in the house. After a week they no longer go near the boundary. Simply a life saver!
