You just need the appropriate collar for the new dog. The already installed fence will work for as may dogs as you want as long as they have the collar.

You can add it to a fence. You would have to double up on the pet fence and run a second path back to where it started. Here's the manual. Look at page 10. http://www.petsafe.net/getattachment/e9a1b9a2-f19a-4c2c-a7c3-da71e27b5bed/PRF-3004W-In-Ground-Fence-Manual.pdf

It will help. I had a German shepherd and worked well for her. Start off on a low setting and work up. I never had to get high on the voltage with her. I used it more for the barking purposes. If. You train and are consistent the puppy will learn.

Hi, I have a couple German Shorthaired Pointers. One is 15 months, the other is 4 months.I have purchased the 425 model. The older one is knows right from wrong but at times she does not obey. With the collar, you do not have to keep requesting a command. You can hit the warning button and she will come, or anything else she has learned. No repetitive screaming ha. Only 3/4 times have I shocked her on level 1/2. It is a miracle how this works. I always thought of it being a bad thing. But when my dog goes over the fence, it was a miracle how well just having the collar on, it works.

A fence would need to be set up around the area to be protected from the dog. The wires will need to be 4-6 inches apart and a ground rod will need to be installed. Our Consumer Relations Team can be reached at 1-855-5-HAVAHART (1-855-542-8242) for any additional assistance.

My guess is a good pair of wire cutters could do the job. The thing is I just think the leash is the best way to decrease the risk. I use the leash at least once a week and so far so good.

I worry about ALL prong collars falling off, they tend to twist and release themselves. I put a short rope connecting the round ring on the prong collar to another collar (flat buckle or nylon choke) this way If the prong comes loose, the dog will still be connected to the leash. Photo is on the Amazon site for Herm Springer prong collar. Best of luck with your lab! :)

I recommend a Herm Sprenger prong collar AND guidance from a reputable trainer if you've never used one before. You should also consider a leash that accommodates the backup collar, especially if you choose the quick release prong collar. I agree that you should avoid "house brand" products. My first experience using one was for a nervous, fear aggressive 75 lb. dog; I found it enormously helpful. It also makes 'easy' dogs even easier.

wont need inground if you work them on collar and teach YARD lines my three dogs wont break the yard line even if i go inside walk to the edge or stop point say yard and continue . if dog doesnt stay shock while saying yard and bac the dog up to stop point do it few times a day for one week u wont even need collar after just the words

You should have no problem. There are different settings for how strong the shock will be. Be sure that prongs touch their skin, not just sit on their fur. You may need to shave a small area if their fur it thick. Also, there is a distance setting to adjust how close the dog can get to the fence. My dog is a jumper, and the only time she has gotten out since the collar was when I FORGOT to change the battery! She hears the warning beep and stops! Hope this helps!

We have a boxer mix and Catahoula in addition to other dogs. We fenced almost 5 acres with the SportDog 100, loved it, we have since moved. The boxers is the only one that would challenge or go through the fence after turning his collar up for a short time.....problem solved. For a better single get wire from Lowes, it is thicker and signal is much stronger. I liked the collar b/c it has the adjustments on it for 5 levels and works off a 9 volt. We lived on a Hwy, and surrounded on three sides by woods....never had a problem.

If u r very dillogent with the collar on a leash at first. Then continue to use properly this device will help! Keep in mind it's up to you to continue to condition with the collar until you can fully trust your dog. You will love this products! It has changed my life with my dog! Good luck!

You can always buy the large one and remove prongs from it if it is too big. That way if your dog grows anymore, you have some flex room to increase the size. But it is very easy to remove prongs, I had to do it for one of my dogs and it does not change the functionality of it.

Sounds to me like its a skin contact issue, If he is walking through the fence with no reaction, that would me my first guess. Check to make sure the collars are tight enough on his neck that he is receiving a correction. If he is a longer haired dog switch to the longer stainless steel posts, 9 out of 10 times it is an actual skin contact problem that is causing the issue, if you don't get anywhere with these steps please don't hesitate to call me during normal business hours, I would be more than happy to trouble shoot you over the phone 800-396-5517 we are closed for the Holiday, but will be back in on Tuesday.

We have an outdoor system that is by the same company. For us both systems use the same collar so we have the outdoor zone with the fence for them to run in as well and an indoor "No! No!" zone created by this device. It is my opinion that if your system is the same brand then you will probably have a good chance of using both products off the same collar. If your system is not from PetSafe, then I have no idea.

My dog just did the same thing. I'm glad the replacement info was posted! We should all invent a dog resistant cord!

We have the 'Petsafe" brand fence and collars. I would ask the manufacturer.
