I am not sure but I can tell you this that the wire that comes with it is very thin and brakes easily on top of that our system never worked we put the wire in the ground and we never had any power baby we just got a bad system I don't know but it just never ever worked I will not buy this product again

Maybe, the energizer is not very powerful, check my web site at electric-fence and view garden kits, These energizers are more powerful and better suited for controlling dogs

Yes you could however, the plain tubing would not have the scent deterrent. I have a large dog that could easily chew through the tubing however, he doesn't like the smell at all. I have noticed that both the cats and dogs have stayed away from all of my cords that are in the same area as the cord inside the tubing. The scent is strong at first but is does dissipate and is bearable for us as long as my nose is not right by it.

No. But I would worry that a small dog could stick its head between wires and then get stuck.

You may hang this from a shepards hook without additional hardware. HOWEVER ! you should be aware that this product is not strong and if you use a shepherd hook and have squirrels or even worst, raccoons they will very rapidly learn to swing the item and drop it to the ground mine was not repairable after 3 drops. If this is not an issue, it should work ok. The hanging wire is strong and the loop is sufficient.

The cable is pretty thin, but it is wired pretty tight. My bichon is barely able to pull out the wire and I cannot say that it has been a success.

It's meant to only go in a corner that the rabbit predominantly uses so it could work in a dog cage. You just might have to use different attachment pieces. I use wire with rubber clamps.

I think this unit would be powerful enough. I have a 50 lb. goldendoodle and I have never had a problem with the power. I would use the high speed setting rather than low.

I would be cautious about that high a heat. I used my heater for a Turtle and it was wonderful. Please consult a dog Doctor to be sure about where to set the thermostat - and God Bless -

You have to be near your pet. You could use it from a distance but it won't be as effective.

I have a wound up Hungarian Vizsla, jumps anything and runs like a deer, she stills tries the elec. fence and goes buy it if a rabbit is close or something she really wants to chase, but in general stays inside wire-, she is a hard head, I am on a couple of acres, but using the 1000' wire- so it is what it is- the stubbornness of the dog depends on the effectiveness, both neighbors have the same for labs works fine for them

It depends on the size of your dog, sweetie. I wouldn't use a stake or a fence post if your dog weighs more than 50 lb or so. My Newfie is 180 lb and I have his tie-out secured to an outbuilding; you can also secure it to a tree. The best thing to do is look up how much a dog the size of your dog is able to pull. My rule of thumb is I don't want Maxim secured to anything that is less than twice the weight he is able to pull. Please let me know if you have any more questions; I'd be happy to help. Good luck!

Think of the twisted wire as an extension cord to you loop (it needs to be buried from you transmitter to the loop.) It is also a free cross zone, so the dogs can walk across it without penalty.

I'm sorry, I'm an old timer, don't know what "HO" is, but I can tell you is hotter than hell; I use it not for culinary purposes, but to combat inconsiderate dog owners that don't pick up after their pets; simply spread it thin in the front yard and it keeps all animals away. After doing this, if I wear shorts, my legs will burn for quite some time. This stuff is like hot lava!

If you trying to keep out larger animals, the larger HD wire. Actually I use it for all my fencing. I'm certainly not an expert. Just my preference.

Possibly. I'm not sure of the results you'd get. The locator beeps can be quite sharp (some variation there) and a dog might find them upsetting. The range is limited so it's not likely to work well in a big house or big yard. The part that you would put on the collar is not weatherproof, based on having replaced a battery. This means that a dip in the water bowl or extremely wet weather could damage the unit. I would address this question to the seller who is very knowledgeable.

Basically yes. The idea is to give a minor shock to the animal so it is a deterrent from going close to the wire. I have the wire on the posts, as instructed, with the idea that it would keep beavers out of our yard. It has worked good but you have to be careful in putting up the wire not to leave openings where animals can move through without going near the wire. So i had to redraw my line and put the wire up to cover all areas that the beaver would walk through. Since then, the beaver has never been back in our yard. However, I have seen rabbits jump over the wire so you might have to do a double wire for other animals. It doesn't bother the birds. For some reason it seems to be keeping the deer out of the yard also but the moose doesn't seem to be bothered by the wire. I'm not sure i answered your question?
