Fence System December 22, 2008
Alton D. Lawrence (New York)
I was skeptical about the sanity of my wife in wanting this system but I went ahead and ordered it. Installation was pretty simple. The only problem seem to be the border to nullify the effects of the fence. Either it's not working properly or I don't have the wires twisted close enough together. All in all the fence is working great. We have a St. Bernard and a German Shepard and they are staying home - so far. It does take a training period to get them use to the boundarys (about 3 days for these dogs). We can even let them out without their collars and they don't stray but that's only on brief occurances.
SportDog In-Ground Radio Fence Collar December 20, 2008

The SportDog In-Ground Radio Fence Collar works very well with the Petsafe SportDog In-Ground Radio Fence System. I have 2 big, rambunctious, chocolate labs who used too jump the fence or take-off every chance they got and the radio fence and collars have put an end to that. Now my dogs are safely contained on my property. This has given me peace of mind and my sanity back!
The only thing I want to say in regards to the collar is that it must be on tight in order for it to work properly. I hate feeling like I am choking my dogs when I put their collars on, but that's the trade-off to insure their containment.
I would highly recommend the SportDog Collar for use with the SportDog In-Ground Fence system. I have been using 2 collars for about a month and they have worked great (only 1 escape and that is from the collar not being tight enough). I really like the adjustable distance and beeper warning settings that the SportDog system allows. The collars, as well as the control box, are adjustable and offer flexability in allowing my dogs to roam a larger area (I have a 1/2 acre), and let me set how close or how far away they can get to the boundary.
The In-Ground system took about 2 days for my husband to install. We have very rocky ground and are on a hill, so it was tough digging. It was very easy to train the dogs to understand the flags and the beeping sound. Now as soon as they hear their collars beeping, they turn and run the other way! Using this system has been a real time and sanity saver for me. No more walking the neighborhood looking for my dogs because they are now safe at home. Halleluhah, wish I would have bought it sooner, it has been well worth the money!
Best thing I've done for my dog. December 19, 2008

This item works exactly as described. Training was very easy. My dog trained herself in five minutes, although it took her a while to figure out the boundaries. The manual is easy to read and pretty concise on everything from installation to training. It also comes with the most boundary wire that I have seen offered. I even installed the wire above ground with landscaping staples. It's been up three months with no problems. If you've been researching these types of items take a close look at this one. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
 It works! September 23, 2008

I did a lot of research before buying this product, and ended up buying this brand for the positive reviews, and good name.
It works, and has made my home more delightful. My dog loves to run in the yard, and was miserable being tied to a run. He is very fast, and before we had this fence would get loose frequently... every time directly into traffic.
The price of this product is reasonable when compared to some of the others on the market, and it seems that you get good value for the cost. It sure beats having to pay an emergency vet bill with the dog finally gets hit or causes an accident.
I have two small complaints about the product, and something I think people should be aware of when buying this product.
First, I find that the fence doesn't give the dog as much warning as I would prefer. You can change the setting to allow the for maximum amount of beeping warning before the dog is shocked, but it significantly cuts down on the "free" area. In my case, if I were to turn the fence to a higher warning level, the dog would not be able to pass between the house and the fence to get from the backyard to the front yard. I personally wish that the dog was given more time to react to the beeping warning before the shock correction.
Second, the training manual in the product didn't work for my morals. In a number of instances it tells you to trick the dog into going out of range while you are training them, sometimes by throwing a treat out of range, and other times by going out of range and calling the dog. I preferred not to have the dog associate the shock with being with me, so after the initial few shocks, and the showing the dog his boundaries, I allowed him to roam for small periods while I observed from my porch. In the few following times that he was shocked, he ran directly for me or the house, and eventually would run for the house when beeped.
It may be different for a less timid dog, however it was something I thought people should think about first.
That all being said I love this product, we are all happy... including the dog :)
PS. do get the power edger, I couldn't imagine doing the instillation without it! we found an attachment for our weed-wacker right at home depot.
good so far September 15, 2008
