PetSafe YardMax Battery-Operated In-Ground Dog Fence, Easy DIY, Waterproof

Extremely happy with my purchase. Only took a few days for my dog to adapt after I installed it. Had to purchase another 500ft spool for my yard. Being able to not have to install this inside and drill through my house was a big plus in purchasing this fence. My dog now has freedoms he didn’t in the past and loves playing with the next door neighbors dog. He is very wary and doesn’t get too close to the edge. We have it on level 3 and never had to go higher. As for price, so much cheaper than having a company install - have already recommended to a neighbor.

So far so good, easy to set up, truth be told, I had more issues with the trencher I rented but this set up was a breeze, getting our puppy today, will check back in a month to let you know any issues.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have one happy dog! He absolutely loves being free! Coco can run around the yard freely as I do my yard work. He stays in his own yard and not being chained up is awesome. I just moved in my new house and have not had a chance to put up a fence, now I don't have to spend the money on it. I have only used it for a week and so far so good! I see no negatives about this Petsafe product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] PetSafe YardMax Cordless In-Ground Fence works great anywhere and when traveling and even at my parents house. Yardmax Cordless is easy to setup with all the things that are needed to keep our dog safe. Everything from the waterproof collar with charger, waterproof transmitter, 500 feet of wire, boundary flags and markers and everything else that is needed. This took a few hours to setup to get my Black Lab started on training with this setup. We didn't dig holes because we can use this when traveling and camping and even when we are visiting family and friends but the wires can be buried. It is battery powered (10 D-cell batteries not included) so it is easy to pick up and take with you and work when the power is out as well. This setup is also expandable for up to 1.4 acres if needed and added pets with additional collars. It works for dogs and cats 5 pounds and up with a neck size of 6 to 28 inches. There is 5 levels of adjustable correction for training with customizable boundaries and automatic safety shut off. Transmitter battery life is expected for up to 12 months and receiver collar can last up to 3 months on a charge and only takes 2 to 3 hours to charge. When your pet gets close to the markers it will give a beep tone and if your pet passes the warning zone, it will give them a safe but surprising static shock. PetSafe has thought of everything with this Yardmax Cordless setup. I would highly recommend the PetSafe YardMax Cordless In-Ground Fence for training your pet or when traveling, camping or visiting.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this set up to use as a temporary set up until get a fence. Nice set up! Easy to operate and convenient! Built well and has plenty of wire for you to use. Packages well. Best to get you some rechargable batteries but they last a long time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The YardMax Cordless In-Ground Fence is amazing. Keeps my dog from wearing down the muddy parts of the yard in rainy and mushy weather. No more blockades or makeshift fences in my yard! I love this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We needed something to keep our dog from running out onto the busy road we live on. Every time we opened the back gate, we had to put him inside. The PetSafe YardMax Cordless, In Grounded Fence. Model PIG00-15958 has solved the problem. Yay! The system seemed overwhelming when I first saw the long list of instructions to install it, but it turned out to be relatively easy. It comes with a waterproof transmitter, 500 feet of wire, marking stakes, a waterproof collar- (with charger) plus other items you will need. It took my husband and I about four hours, to map out the area we wanted and install the wire.As we rent, we didn't dig a hole. We staked the wire down, so it is low enough we can mow the lawn, without disturbing it, or creating a trip hazard. It might take a little longer if you decide to bury it. Make sure to test it works first, before you put the collar on your dog. We used a leash to train our dog as to where his boundries are, the collar has six settings. You'll need to charge the collar before using it. Our dog had previously had e-collar training -(vibration), so he seemed to catch on fairly quickly and has learned to stay within the boundry area. Please note, in the instructions, it says that the system isn't reccomended for agressive dogs, puppies under the age of six months or less than five pounds. The transmitter will need ten double D batteries. We've found it to be a good system to keep Rory safe. Even though the instruction book is lengthy, please take the time to read it thouroghly, it will be worth the time and you'll be able to fully understand how to install it properly to keep your pet safe.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Im so excited to use my Yard Max Cordless Fence. I think it will be great once my dog and I get the hang of it. We havent had much time as of yet with the holidays closing in but hopefully before New Years Chase can go outside on his own. I especially love the fact that if wanted you can add onto it to allow larger coverage then only 1/3 of an acre. If all goes as well as planned i definitely will be adding on to cover more ground!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this just before Christmas, was able to set up in front yard just a few days ago, so we are still in training mode. We live on busy street and my dog dashes out front door as soon as it is opened. She was startled the first few times she entered the warning zone, but after a couple of zaps she is learning it is more pleasant to stay back. I would not trust her alone but gives me a sense that she is safer.

I have 2 transmitters and the boundary height setting does not work on either one.
