I have a beagle that still gets out of the containment area even with the shock set as high as it will go. Is there anything that I can do ?

We have had this fence for 5 years with huskies...we trained them young but all of a sudden our older husky goes right through....not a care about beep or the shock....we are fighting this battle as well. Good luck.

Sorry to hear that you are having a problem. I have a Pug who just turned three in March. I purchased the collar after one episode of finding him chasing cars on highway. The collar worked from the very first time I used it. I introduced him to the collar the first time and he has learned what his limitations are. I have even let him go out without the collar on and he had learned where his restrictions are. Sorry I couldn't help.

I couldnt get it to work on my lab/mastif mix, that I ended up having to give him away.... he never even flinched! New batteries, longer probes... whatever I could try....

I have a dog and cat that I have to keep separated. The tall gate - he can go over but I needed something to block off the hallway - so I got this gate and added the bug off mesh screen for door ways - I have it hanging from the ceiling and it ends about 1 foot from the floor - I keep it on the side the cat is on and the ONE time he tried to jump/climb it - he got half up way and then went oh no and fell backwards (safely landing of course!). He hasn't tried to get over it and its easy to get thru because I got the sliding glass door one that has a center opening. Its not pretty but it keeps my 4 legged kids apart from one another and safe. I have a dog and cat that I have to keep separated.

Hello. We are happy with the unit and it works quite well. We have it at the top of our stairs and it keeps our two beagles off the second floor. We got the "stubborn dog" correction collars and, since you can vary the level of correction, it works as well as our outdoor invisible fence.

A large mature beagle will be significantly taller than the 15 inch height of the trap, and so it may be reluctant to go in. It may work if the dog is attracted to the bait, but I would look for something a bit larger.

Yes, I had the same problem with the little dog. Eventually just put a piece of Velcro to keep in place.

We have a lab with separation anxiety that has escaped/destroyed several other kennels. He has not been able to escape this one. He has scratched the inside of the door with his nails, but that's the only damage he's been able to do in 3 weeks.

My best suggestion would be to buy one of the doggie booster seats/ beds that have an opening in the back for the seatbelt attachment to fit through. Therefore, when the dog circles around before he lays down, his feet would not touch the release. Hope this helps!

I think you may want to get a more sturdy crate. I have a 20 lb dog so he is small and has lots of room. A 49 lb dog may be able to escape this one, especially if the dog is in the crate for an extended time.

Hi, I found this item to be made cheaply?? Like on top there is no safety so I used wired to stop it from maybe caving in. Also it doesn't close very well either, so you may want to use a back up clip. For a 5 lb dog might be fine but, For a few more dollars you can get either a Midwest or another brand. Hope this helps

It's too big for your dogs. I think they have to be over 8 pounds for this. The collar is just huge on my ten pound dachsund. I have an underground system that has a tiny collar and is safe for toy dogs. You might want to look into something like that where you have control of the severity of the shock if they go through the fence. If you only need a small space for such little dogs, it might even be less expensive. Good luck!

I have a Pitbull that cannot get past it.But he is not a solid 8 pounds. He is more than 60 pounds soaking wet.Little dogs are amazing at getting into things.Good Luck.Steve

I have a Great Dane. She was able to find a way out but we put DClamps on her cage so she is unable to get out now but if you don't want to put DClamps on the cage than I would have to say no.

Yes. This has a setting that goes from low to high. We used it on our 126 lb dog, and used the highest shock. However, he got used to it(he is oversized and they said that could happen). I think definitely worth it. If you don't want to spend the money, then I would get a coffee can, and put loose change in there. Everytime the dog barks you shake it and it terrifies them. They learn to stop.

Yes, but you might want to invest in stronger bungees. We have two Labs, and so far the EZ Pet Barrier has worked perfectly, even with the smaller bungees that came with it.

I love this gate. I got it because my beagle could climb the shorter gate we had... No more climbing now! I have a standard size chihuahua and he can not fit through the gate.... His head got stuck once and we adjusted the distance where it mounts. I also have two cats and one of them can fit through it, but she is very slender.

I have a smart dog that does know how to peek out. It does not completely close at the end. My little one got out very easily.

Nothing except a closed door would keep my cat out of a room. He's a climber/jumper and has no problem getting on the refrigerator! If yours is not that acrobatic, try stacking two gates. That worked for us when we had a climbing dog.
