Will this be harmful for a dog in the backyard which is where i would like to install this?

I doubt it but can't answer this for sure. Would you not be putting them up higher than your dog might be? The noise is not loud and now because birds don't come there, I never hear it anyway Don

We have this mounted on our roof in audible mode. Does not seem to bother our two schnauzers. After a few weeks the amount of birds even coming near our roof dropped off dramatically.

I have no dog, but the device even with the ultrasound option selected emits a sound that can be hear by humans and is kind of uncomfortable if you are close to the device. Anyway I believe you should ask the seller, they have a wonderful customer service.

We have 2 in our backyard and our dog roams about freely. At the low volume mode, she doesn't seem to be bothered by it at all. In fact, she regularly goes up to it and sniffs at it. In high volume mode, she will still roam up to it occasionally, but seems to prefer to relax on the opposite side of the yard. Our dog is a 70LB pit bull/labrador mix so a smaller dog might react differently.

It's got a mesh top so no. You may be better served getting an outdoor doggy house. There are some decent plastic ones.

I would not install it outside unless you can cover the unit from the weather.

You could install in either location but it'll be much easier in a side location. Consider that you're essentially sandwiching the screen between the plastic frame of the dog door so it's easier if you have access to hold or push both sides at the same time.

I think it would heat up the space fine but I would worry about the dog hurting itself if it bit down on the cord or something if it was inside with the dog.

It is sturdy but I wouldn't risk it. I don't think it's intended for the outdoors. A raccoon would figure it out.

I buried mine inside a metal pipe just under the dirt. Had to cover the pipe back up every once and awhile but I had a dirt driveway. Not sure what you are working with. If you can get the wire across, under, over the driveway, the dog should stop at the wire and not make it to the gate. The system worked well for me.

I installed it in a hollow metal door, so not positive, but I don't think you should have any problem. It may just take you a bit more work to cut through more material. Both our dogs only took a couple tried to figure out how to use it as well.

I don't know if this would work. Ours is set at a very low distance and doesn't go off until the dog is right on it, so it might work. If you just needed one section of it, you could twist the wires on the rest of the circle and have just one area be live

Many of the other buyers will say yes but the directions which come with the product clearly state that it is not to be used outdoors. I returned mine when I found that out. I won't risk my doggies.

No. That would be a danger in pinning the pet between the door and the frame so it doesn't. You would probably need some other product to keep that pet away from the door.

Should not be a problem unless it gets wet. Make sure your irrigation is turned off. Load your unit with some dry dog food.

I can't see any reason why you shouldn't be able to if you have two good solid mounting locations to attach it to. I have mine located at the bottom of our loft stairs to keep the dogs from climbing the stairs and being in the loft unattended. It's mounted to a stud area of the wall along the stairs and to the main railing post.

It's a good idea. I don't see any reason why it would not work. I assume it would be installed on the outside.

I first attached it to a doggie door, you have to use u-brackets and attach it by the metal rung at the beginning of the catwalk. now I have it on a piece of plywood with a door in the plywood off my back screen porch. would suggest if you do buy this, go to lowes and get the metal covered fencing for protecting veggies/fruits and use it instead of the netting. The netting is unsafe and could hurt your animal and it rots pretty fast. Maybe make your own wooden/pvc fame and forget this. I only still use the frame because I paid so much for it.

Yes, for sure, however that seems like a huge waste of wire. There must be a more efficient way to do it. You can do a double wire (spaced 5' apart) across the area where you have no fence, then twist the wire and go directly back to the house where - you don't need to twist it and follow the fence all the way around. Also, if you're using "Yardmax mode" the dog can go right up to the wire without the warning going off. In some cases, you can't use that mode, so it may not apply to you.

In the description it says it is safe for outdoor installation, we never installed it outside. The base shown in the image has screw holes in it and is what you would use to mount it outside. It comes with screws to be able to mount it to a wall or some type of support.
