Are the dogs collars now waterproof? We are looking at the Havahart Wireless Radial-Shape 2 Wireless Fence for our lab but want waterproof collars.

My collar has not failed to confine her yet after 3+ months on a very active Platt hound puppy! She has been out in the rain but has not submerged collar in water; so I don't know about that. Very satisfied with 5134G2.

Our dog got her collar wet the first day from her dog bowl and it was instantly $250 down the drain. Havahart said they can't control my dogs splashing. Worst system ever. I use mine to prove to people it doesn't work.

Get a petsafe system. Havahart is the worst wireless fence system you can buy! Save the money/spend the money and get it done right the first time with petsafe system.

Don't buy it. The collars won't hold up. They're flimsy and since you have a lab, it will be able to ignore the highest correction setting, that's if the base puts off a signal at all.I recently got a pet save unit and my Mastiffs can't stand the highest setting and won't leave the yard.

I would not let the the collars be submerged in water, say swimming in a pool or taking a bath. If the dog is out in the rain, it is not a problem.

The collars have been updated and we now offer a waterproof version. Please contact the seller to determine which version they are currently selling.

You know my dogs went thew streams here and I never had any problem with them not working but I will say get a battery changing regement in place because if I remeber right their can be accadentail discarges as they get low and water is an excellent conductor to excellence what I did because I had three dogs as I look for one that had two collars and then bought the third collarbut it wasn't cheap and neither was the batteries and if your power goes off to the main unit take the collars off the dogs as it might reset the boundaries and shock dogs accidentally I found that out the hard way

Yes it is water resistant! It says as long as it isn't submerged in water! My dog has wore his in the rain and I've had no problems so far! I hope that helps! :-)

You can purchase on our listing here on Amazon: Petsafe PIF-300 Wireless 2-Dog Fence Containment SystemYes, they are waterproof. Keep in mind that wireless runs in diameter, and all backyards are generally rectangular, so you will lose yard based on where you place it.

I bought mine just about the same time and had the same problem...mine got wet and quit working, they are water resistant not proof. I switched over to a more expensive brand that says, "water proof" Petsafe 1000. The dogs swim in very deep water and they ARE water proof and still working great. They only beep and or shock. I did like the vibration part of those collars. Cheap is cheap...... Mona @ Grammas Doggy Daycare

Absolutely! My dogs are in the water a lot, splashing and shallow immersion of the collars, no problems. Good product.

There is a beep/tone warning button and then a button to stimulate/shock them. It has not been effective for us. You have to keep reactivating it. Although it is waterproof. Doesn't seem to work when we want it to. We have a PetSafe invisible fence system that works excellent for our yard. We wanted something to operate manually when we go to our land. And this has not been helpful.

There are available connectors with a rubber boot over the top of the collar to make them "water proof" (water getting in through the collar end). For the exposed metal, I think it is fine, but if you're worried about weather exposure, just use vinyl electrical tape to wrap the collar end or the entire connector -- but it has to be done properly or water could make it in and get trapped (if unwrapped, any water would otherwise dry up).

No, it is a collar & the device is attached. It is waterproof (have a bird dog) and chargeable but already it is not taking a charge in one side. One side is blue & the other red. Usually 2 blue when charged. Not sure what I can do. Don't use it every day....

Thank you for your question! This particular collar is not rechargeable, but the Petsafe Stay and Play Fence Receiver Collar is and will work with any PetSafe Wireless Containment System.

My dog has been out in the rain with no problems but can't say for sure about bathing because the groomer takes her collar off !

I wouldn't say that they are waterproof...My dog is a bush dog and I had once left the collar on her on a rainy day, this happened more by accident, she ran through alot of wet bush and it did survive, but I had the red collar and it did dye the hair around her neck pink...not easy to get off. I do not recommend it for real rainy days...wet/damp bush it should survive and in snow it seems to work fine, but sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you don't....It's a good, well priced collar that is really only made for night walks ...it keeps you and your dog safe, so that is what I truely recommend it for.

So far mine have been waterproof. I've worn them through thick mud and puddles with no problem. They've were very useful at the dog park this past Spring.

No not really. It is ok in the rain without problems. My dog sent swimming with his on and it seemed to shorten the collars life span. If your new to this door I would recommend having a spare collar around. Best wishes.

We have WI-FI and have not had a problem with two different types of training collars. Curious what you mean as to a wireless fence as we have an in ground wire fence and the Wi-Fi has not created a problem with that either.

These are made for large dogs...I have one on a 60lb 10-month old and one on an 80lb mutt. And they REALLY ARE waterproof - I took my dogs swimming this weekend...without hesitation. This is the third collar set I've owned from Dogtra - range works and totally waterproof. You can turn it up to about 130 (shock strength) but I never have to go above about 40 to get their attention.

Hi, we never submerged the collar. Our problem with dog was in the house getting into cats food. We also have the Petsafe underground fence and that collar is very similar to the remote training collar and we've had that collar wet with no problems. It's almost 7yrs old now and still works like new. Petsafe products seem to be very well made. I hope this helps.
