The two-in-one design of this system is ideal for keeping your pet safely within the containment zone and for correcting unwanted behaviors such as barking, digging and jumping. Once the wire is buried around the perimeter of your yard, your dog will be safe from running off, chasing cars and other dangerous activities. However, they are still free to wreak havoc inside the containment area.
Now, with the addition of the you can stop barking, digging, biting, jumping, getting into the trash and much more from the palm of your hand. The 9 levels of stimulation allow you to customize the intensity level of the collar to your dog's temperament. This is ideal if you have two dogs with different personalities. The static correction is brief and harmless, but your pet will quickly learn to avoid it. Features like built in lighting protection, wire break alarms and rechargeable collars make the system a breeze to care for. With this kit you will get 1 transmitter, 1 rechargeable collar, 500 ft of wire, 50 training flags and waterproof splicers. Also comes with an easy-to-follow DVD and complete installation instructions. Product Details

Our 8 month old puppies learned very quickly to stay out of the electrical field after receiving "stimulation"(I would say shock the "dickens" out of them,even set on minimum) once for the female, but it took three times for the male to be convinced he didn't want to try again! They will now stay in the yard without the collar being on the dog. I haven't removed all the white flags yet. Our system has been in use for 5 weeks.
I haven't attempted to use the remote yet.
I do find it difficult to fasten the collar, especially when it is cold outside.

I bought this system for my collie, who thought sniffing down trails was more fun than staying in the yard. I constantly had to watch him when he was out of his pen.
I finally talked my husband into getting the underground fence. We enclosed 5 acres with 2000' ft of wire. Some was underground, like where it crossed the driveway, but most of it (through the woods) was above ground application, using ground staples.
Installation was not difficult, but my husband is an electrician, so this was right up his alley! The charged collar will last for 2-3 months, depending on how much you use the "train" feature on the collar with the remote. Only recharge the collar when the light on it begins to blink "red."
I taught my dog to "stay" in one day using the remote. Now, we can take nice walks on our country road with "NO LEASH" and he is like a dream come true!
He won't even go near the white flags after getting shocked twice in the first few days. Since my dog is easily trainable, I keep the system shock level on Low now. It's equivalent to about a "5" on the remote. Medium was too high and made him scream and his whole body was quivering while getting the shock. (Just being honest here)
Now, he can chase squirrels all day long, and he knows to stop before getting to the white flags! This system has brought freedom to both my dog and to me, to which I am truly grateful!
I highly recommend this system if you are constantly worried your dog will run off when he's let out of the house or pen. We all wished we would have bought it sooner. It is so worth the money!

from Youngstown, Ohio on 9/14/2008
I live in a rural area and our family dog died two years ago, leaving our yard unguarded and taken over by racoons, ground hogs, musk rats and stray cats who fought with my cats. Hundreds of dollars and many vet visits later I realized I had to get another dog. I adopted Husker from our local shelter, he is a two year old mixed breed who loves to chase cars and leave the yard at high speed. This system has changed his life and ours. My yard is a much safer place and with a dog I feel safer in my house. He learned the system quickly and we did use the remote in the training, it was an extra added training tool that cut down on training time along with the training DVD.

I LOVE IT!! Couldn't have been easier to put down and I have had no problems out of it at all! I have a pit bull/boxer mixer and I live on a very busy highway. He is just 7 months old and was getting very adventurous. I could not be more pleased with his behavior now! I fenced in an entire acre of my back yard and he has plenty of room to roam free and play outside now. I have also noticed with the trainer he no longer makes messes in the house! Couldn't be happier!!

Works like a charm, easy to use and install, very versatile, super value! I priced having someone install a unit for me ($1,500) and by doing it myself saved about $1,000! I was able to install the unit in two evenings (5-6 hours total time).

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.

Worry - Free!! just keep the collars charged, and all you have to do is put your dogs outside and call them in later - trust me, they're not going anywhere!!

from Playa Potrero, Costa Rica on 4/16/2008
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.
