[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was a little nervous about trying to have my dogs “get it” but I was able to train them along with Free to Roam wireless Fence fairly easy. I wanted to wait until the snow cleared from my yard so that I could walk the property find the center and determine the points of my house to this to correspond with put the flags up and work with the dogs. It took me less than two hours it probably could've been even shorter but I had a mess with the Wi-Fi I'm not very techy so If can do it pretty much anybody can.Just some tips first measure your property and figure out where you want the free space for your dogs to have establish your boundary lines test everything adjust your settings until everything works out permanently install it and most importantly work with your dogs train them and honestly they'll pick it up pretty much right away. I really loved the idea of no wires no real digging safe wireless reliable fencing for my doggies that doesn't obstruct your view to my house with all this unnecessary wire fencing this is a great system and alternative to fencing or for areas where you just can't have fencing.

So this is the first review I've ever gone on a product that I bought. I have a one-year-old Yorky bichon mix who just loves to run free around my neighborhood. I had tried everything to keep him contained in my yard. Nothing worked until I found this product!! It has been a lifesaver and a worry saver! I was always afraid that my puppy would run out into the middle of the street or become lost when he broke free from my yard. Now we no longer worry and can enjoy our backyard outside with our pupoy again!!!

This little machine has been a lifesaver for our 1acre plus yard. We bought this when it first came out and has worked effortlessly since. We have purchased a large pack of batteries online every so often but I would not say we run thru them frequently. Seems appropriate amount of time given the signals being transmitted, I'd rather buy some batteries then lose our little guy, he's worth it. Never had any problems with collar or base unit. He knows his territory now and we all feel better not having to fence off the entire yard or dig up for and in-grounder. Ours is placed on top of a kitchen cabinet that was centrally located, ran some power up there and plenty of unobstructed height to broadcast from.

The only observation I have with this product is that the training is much faster than stated...our Westie pup was trained in four days.....love the fact that it is portable....recommend this to every dog owner I know....Great product!

I have a 10 month old Siamese Lynx point kitten that had great desires to be outside like our 14 year old Domestic short hair. So we gave this a try. It works perfect only took a couple days and she understood the beeping proceeded a slight shock. I removed the flags yesterday as she gets it now and stays in her boundary.

my girl is 4 years old so i was super nervous about ordering this for her. she has been on a lead all of her life and i thought it was time for a change. we keep her inside now mostly but let her run around outside during the day. this is also a life saver when it comes to letting her out to use the bathroom. she has done so amazing with this product!! we've been using it for a couple of months now and bought an additional collar for our other dog who is almost two. i can't praise this product enough, i haven't had to change the batteries out yet either, i love not having to charge the collar. (we haven't had any power outages but if thats big in your area it is something to consider because the box plugs into an outlet)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We live in a farm and wanted to have our little chihuahua/terrier roam around freely without having to worry about him wandering over to the busy road not too far away. It only took a while for him to understand that the beeping proceeded a slight shock (I know it sounds horrific but I've tried it and it's very mild). We eventually removed the flags and he now stays within the boundaries. The only thing we worry about now are hawks and other large birds of prey.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I set this up and the instructions were very clear and easy to understand. Most of my yard is fenced but there is one part where it is not. It would work in an unfenced area as well, but we didn't want to put in a fence. The dog seemed to catch on very quickly and I hardly had to up the collar sensor. My only complaint was the collar battery was dead, so I had to go out and get a replacement before I could test to make sure it worked properly, but it did! You do have to change the collar battery every 2-3mo so it was not that big of an issue. You can also take this system with you if you go camping or the like and that is another great benefit.

I wish I could give this a 5 but it BLOWS through batteries. Yes they are not expensive but that is not the point when you spend the kind of money you do on the fence and collars you would thing the batteries would last more than a few weeks. At first we thought maybe we got some bad batteries but nope. We have 2 dogs and it works great BUT them collars stink. We started to mark on the calendar when we changed them and it has never been a full month. Very sad!

I wanted to love this as it would have been perfect for our family and yard but sadly 25% of the time it was giving warning signals and static shocks while our dog was safely (and far inside) the boundaries. We followed all directions for set up and most of the time it did hold true to the circular boundary but there were just too many times our dog was laying on the floor in the living room and the beeps started and it would shock him. It was sad actually. After the 5th time that happened, we returned it. We only had it for a week.
