can this be used as a dog fence?

It keeps my dog out of the pool (a medium-sized poodle mix), but if you have a particularly large or determined dog, they might make it thru. ;)

That is EXACTLY what I use it for. HOWEVER, it needs to be a large dog, because when she was a pup, she could just climb UNDER it.

Yes as long as you have somewhere on each end to mount it or it will sag. If you are using the fence in grass or dirt get 1 an a 1/4 PVC pipe and cut them twelve inches long and use them in the ground for the provided selves to fit into. I used this for my dogs and it works great.

Not sure you can, I do not use the wire side of the unit. You may need to go with more of the contact type fence. Con being not only will your pet be discouraged, but you will if you touch it. Sorry, there are limited options. I have a digger and she just goes elsewhere to dig out of range.

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

Yes, it will work great. I have the Invisible Fence on over 2 acres and have a dog that likes to get into trouble in several of our garden areas; I have 3 of these and the nice part is that the effective area can be decreased from 16' down to 2', one is by my front door and it doesn't impede the dog from comming in. The dog will have to wear a second collar for the rock.

I dont think so. it will depend on the distance betwenn the petsafe and dog.

Well I guess you wouldn't have to. You could use it like an electric fence but be careful if the doggies aren't wearing the collar them they could chew up the wire and electrocute themselves. We buried ours since we didn't always use the system so when they were outside we didn't worry about them chewing the wire up. There are 2 connectors in the rock.

I think you can, it is very sturdy. My dog won't fit but it should work for yours.

I would say yes. Keep in mind that the fence is not that tall. The fence poles go down into the ground which makes the fence pretty sturdy.

I'm not sure if it could be or not. We were not installing it as a new fence. We were replacing an existing panel that sits on a concrete deck.

Probably not. It needs a very solid post underneath and the hardware that comes with it is for that exact purpose. We have ours mounted to a 4 x 4 inch piece of wood installed in cement. We really like it for lots of reasons, but you would have to buy different hardware to attach it to a gate or fence, and you might not be equally happy with the result

I don't recommend it for a fence. It is messy and sticky and would stain the fence and it would probably be ineffective for more than a few minutes, if at-all. You will need to find a better way based on your particular situation. I DO highly recommend this for protection from dogs and people who attack you. It's a whole lot better than nothing, but not lethal. Buy enough cans for your cars and different coats etc. It is cheap insurance.

I would say yes. It has plastic pieces that screw into the wall that hold the gate. Just make sure it's a secure wall. Ours unfortunately was not and my son pushed the gate in the wrong direction and it ripped out of the wall.

I'm sure it could. You would have to make some brackets, like "u" bolts to mount it to the vertical rods or some angle iron to mount it to the horizontal rails of your fence.

The metal parts are very strong but I used suction cups to attach it to the door since I was just trying to keep a cat in. This would not be secure enough for your dog. If you screwed the ends of the gate into the wood in the door frame it would be quite sturdy.

Yes it would. I use it for a small dog. I also used it for my grandchildren as a playpen. It is great to use for blocking off a section of the yard too! I love this gate and would highly recommed it for all uses. Easy to set up and travel with.

I'm no electrician, but doubt this would work - the wire needs to be suspended by insulators, which is accomplished by the plastic poles in the kit. If you ran the wire along the bottom of a fence, it would likely contact the ground and complete the electrical arc by that means, rather than through the dog. I suppose it's possible that the wood could act as an insulator without grounding out, but you would have to install it carefully - and any time the wood became wet, it would not act as an insulator. Why can't you instead run the wire on the poles a couple of inches inside the fence, 6" up from the ground? I would think that would work fine. The shock amount is certainly enought to discourage a medium dog.

Sure. Put a big nail in the fence and hang it. Forget the suction cup. If the fence is wrought iron, use an "s" hook. Your hardware store has them.
