I liked our backyard without a fence. So we decided to purchase a fenceless containment system. This one in particular is a wireless, Instant Fence. Which means a wire buried around the parameter of yard is not needed. The Instant Fence unit mounted on the wall transmits an adjustable frequency, up to a 90ft radius.
Our dog loves to travel with us. He will go to great lengths to explore new surroundings.
We’ve had our dog for three years. He’s been a bolter and a neighborhood nuisance. Finally, we got sick of it. We bought this product with guarded optimism. It did require one call to support to get the base station to recognize the collar, but once that happened, the product worked exactly as advertised. I set up the white flags, got the beeps, and created a perimeter after playing with the control dial.
Unlike a buried wire, the frequency on this unit can go through the walls, just as your radio receives a signal inside your home. This allows for a little creativity. For example: Mine is mounted near the back of my house. I adjusted the (circle) frequency to cover half my backyard. It goes through the house, stopping just short of the front door and dining room table. The kids’ playground is beyond the limit in the backyard, allowing them to play without the dog jumping on them, or their friends; prevents the dog from jumping on guests at the front door; and keeps the dog from begging at our feet when eating at the kitchen table.
For small yards (boundaries less than 40ft radius) the boundary switch will be set on low. For larger yards (between 40ft and 90ft), the boundary switch is set to high. When adjusting the dial, you are fine tuning the distance, with respect to the boundary switch position.
Now, I can open the door and let him out without fear that he will run off. I would highly recommend this product for anyone who has a defiant dog. It will keep the dog in the perimeter.
I would recommend this product to anyone who’s looking for a simple, relative inexpensive way to contain your pet.
Another recommendation would be to purchase extra batteries for the collar and have them on hand. The collar will let you know when the batteries are running low. The batteries are cheap and I replace mine every 3 or 4 months.
