Can someone please describe how this is set up? I have a standard poodle pup that goes over my 4' fence and I am wanting to stop this!!

Thank you for your question! The transmitter sits in your home and will emit a circular signal (like a dome) that can be adjusted to fit your yard. For a video on how to set up this system, please visit https://youtu.be/5YfQ_16oWCc?list=PLB30F13BA212FB2AF .

It is SO easy. The base u it is in house for us and the instructions are easy to follow. We use for our little dog (after he got lost) and our big granddog. Works like a charm! I highly recommend it. It was hard for me to put a collar like that on our dog but now it's just old hat.

Worked just fine with over 20" of snow on the ground in CT for most of this winter... It has been complete freedom since installing this system... Works great... The training period seemed a little stressful... But after a few breaches, my shep mix knows better than to go near the fence line... Even in the winter she sits and watches the neighbors walk their dogs by the house... We play ball, get fire wood and play with the kids outside, not to mention letting her roam unsupervised for yours at a time... Everyday! Had the system for four months... Dog just turned a year old... Had a dog run... That was torture to be anywhere else in the yard... Love it... ***** Worked just fine with over 20" of snow on the ground in CT for most of this winter... It has been complete freedom since installing this system... Works great...

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.

It does not attach to anything. I have six little dogs and I use it to keep them out of our formal dining room. They don't touch the fence. Since it can move it scares them.

Had a few problems with this system, not because of the system itself though. One of our dogs chewed the collar off the other, our dog after a while was willing to put up with the shock and just get by the "fence", barrier fence was chewed through by wild animals, broken wire by the dogs themselves, etc. Weather was never an issue however we live in a mild climate. We ended up getting a standard electrical fence. Took only a couple time and the dog learned not to touch the fence and we have had it off every since. Only thing about an electrical fence as far as I can see is it needs to be mounted on top of a fence. We bought the solar model so no electrical bill and no need to locate an outlet.

I just started by twisting it all the way closed and then i sat in a place that my dog couldn't see me so he didnt know i was there. I blew the whistle and adjusted it at the same time, slowly, until i saw him respond to it. You have to kind of play around with it to find the right adjustment which your dog will respond to. There's no one set way. You'll know you got it right when your dog lets you know it's bugging him.

I don't really understand your question and the 2 layer thing. You set the "depth" of your buffer zone. So if your dog's collar is 3 feet off the ground, and you set the "depth" at 3 feet, the warning hits your dog right at the wire. Set it at 4 foot, it hits your dog ~1 foot from the fence. Think pythagorean theorem.

I have a LARGE dog - and it does go off when I have my dog out on my patio (where I have the unit). I have to block it while he is out there. It is sensitive, but NOT too much so. Haven't had any 'false' rings.

We don't have a fence, so I can't answer that. It has stopped our dog from running over to the next door neighbors house.

It needs to be connected to some sort of electric fence. (When I say fence, electric tape is really what it is. Look at HorseGuard fencing to see what I mean.) I use this with horseguard tape for horses and it give just enough of a zap to keep them out of areas they shouldn't go and also along my existing fencing, to keep them off of the real fence. I've been really happy with it. However, it's not strong enough of a shock for large dogs. (Horses have much less hair and are super sensitive where dogs are not as much unless they get zapped on their ear.)

Hi! My male dog did the same thing. He would stand on the pad, but then he would lift his leg and spray down the wall and make a mess or he would stand at the edge and pee on the curb. I took the actual holder of the pad off. I laid a tarp under the pad to protect the carpet. That seemed to work. Here is something else you might want to look at...it is expensive, but I am sure you can sort of make your own "aiming" wall for your pup. http://www.amazon.com/Wee-Wee-Pad-On-Target-Trainer/dp/B00HFEX7V8/ref=sr_1_1?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1389982385&sr=1-1&keywords=training+pad+wall+guard You can also try leaving the pad edge on, but putting something on it for him to aim for like a little fire hydrant. I would imagine it being gross to clean, but if your little guy is looking for a target, it might work, too. http://www.amazon.com/Nothing-Like-Designs-Scent-Attract-Hydrant/dp/B00176EZFW/ref=sr_1_1?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1389982785&sr=1-1&keywords=fire+hydrant+for+dogs+to+pee+on. Eventually, he will be going outside to do his business, so hopefully, this is something you only have to deal with for a little while. Good luck with your little guy.

I use it outside as a step-up to my doggy door installed in the wall. Bought it initially because I was getting a new puppy who was too small to make the jump from the outside - plus my older dog was not comfortable with the drop from inside to out. It has proven to be the perfect solution. My only question - how would you anchor it? I have it pushed up against a wall and it doesn't move but then neither does the wall! Anyway ... It works perfectly for my use.

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.

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

Slide bar by pushing forward a bit (towards the gate) and sliding it into the latch. You can put a padlock thru the hole if that isn't enough for you. I'm sure just sliding the bar over is more than adequate protection. They will jump over fence if they want to get in that bad!

I have a Doberman who expects to ride shotgun wither or not my wife is in that seat. It slowed her down a bit but she worked it out and essentualy wrecked the fence. I think it could work if they (or your) came up with a better idea of how to secure the four corners. I would buy this one. There must be a better one out there.

saw your question before buying this and had to answer. I just wrote a review but for others wondering same thing, just used it when off leash dog came up to my leashed dog and they started fighting, then what was worse was my dogs prong collar malfunctioned and my dog broke loose trying to get to strange dog. This thing stopped them dead in their tracks! I will never leave home with dog and without this thing ever again. Life saver!
