I have used this product about 8 months now and so far it works great. Installation wasn't so bad and of course I love the fact that it is about a fraction of the cost a professionally installed fence would be. My dog weighs 100 lbs and it works for him. It even lasted through a western NY winter. Very satisfied with this product.Would recommend this to a friend? recommended

The dog is a big, friendly, unfixed male Rhodesian Ridgeback named Zapata.
Well, this thing worked just like it was supposed to and has given my dog and me amazing freedom- he just comes and goes as he pleases now. The fence goes all the way to my girlfriend's house (through three empty lots), an area of about 30 by 200 meters. It's so much room he doesn't even know he's confined.
The trainer has been a godsend also- I have a temper and I haven't raised my hand to him since I got the system. He stops doing whatever he shouldn't be doing immediately, and after a couple of "corrections" (call it what you will, it's a shock) stops doing it altogether. It's been great for our relationship because he does not associate the correction with me... as far as he knows I never punish him anymore- I'm the guy he comes to for reassurance after the collar punishes him.
That said, I hardly use it at all now, a few months on. He responds happily to my commands, the whole struggle for power thing just melted away as soon as I started using the system.
I'm really happy with the system, and Zapata's happier, too, even if he doesn't know why.Would recommend this to a friend? recommended
