I know this doesnt come with boundary wire, but if i were to purchase boundary wire would it be "compatible" with the collar? would it work?

Hi there! We looked into this too.....we had no choice but to buy the matching collar for our two doggies. Btw - this rock isn't very strong for boundary issues - it's more like a "training tool" to keep dogs out of certain areas.

I don't think this is compatible with boundary wire - the rock gives off a silent signal, and if the dog gets too close, it warns then mild shock. It worked well for my dog, an overly ambitious lab mix - I needed him to stop going through the gate and wandering - he now stands far clear of the gate.

I know every dog reacts differently, but this did not work with my dog at all. I wasted $85! I even tried it on myself, holding the collar at different distances and heights just to be sure, and felt nothing at all. I wish I could have returned it, but waited too long. In my opinion, it's not worth buying.

Yes, up to 150ft worth of boundary wire. The package clearly states this, but for some reason this isn't explained on Amazon.

Yes it does work just fine. All you need to do is remove the metal studs and replace the old collar with this one. The holes on this one are a bit bigger, so the receiver moves a bit on the collar, but still functions just fine.

I have never seen the bark collar. It is really just a nylon collar with the two holes in it. If the bark collar has two where the prongs go I say it will work fine

I've bought both the black & white ones, but re:the black, it showed a pic of the right collar. I guess take your chances? :)

I don't believe so. I have the hand held remote trainer and the collard that came with it did not work with the Petsafe Remote Receiver (wireless fence).

They work with the "Ultrasmart System" collars. I am not sure about the other fence systems. I have three "rocks" and they work fine with the current collars.I would check with the company if you have a different fence than the "Ultrasmart" .

Compatible is not the issue. It just does not work well. I have one that the company even tried swapping the collars for it. It never worked beyond about 2 ft. They are a piece of junk. Petsafe distributor finally gave me my money back for the entire fence but because I bought the indoor unit from Amazon and it took Petsafe two months to finally admit it does not work, I am stuck with it. Just don't buy it.

No, it is not. There is an outdoor barrier unit that is compatible with the collar.

Thank you for your question! This system is not compatible with the Stubborn Dog Collar, but will work with the Yardmax Wired Containment System.

I agree with Cindy about the proper fit as our dog definitely responds. You do have to be sure the collar is making the proper contact with the dog's neck. Good luck

The collar is pretty universal but you would probably need to put a new hole in it for it to work.

Yes, I have two different collars with. different batteries. Both work fine

Hello jschick,I think this would definitely work on your dog. The prongs on the collar are a decent length, and seem to reach through long fur just fine. However, if the shorter ones just aren't working for you, this actually comes with another set of longer prongs.

It should. Some breeds are more difficult to keep within the boundaries, but this collar will work with the vast majority of pups. If there is a problem, this collar can be adapted with longer prongs (may be included with collar) to be certain the prongs have the proper contact to work effectively. We have had in-ground fences for 20 years now & love them & the freedom they have given our best friends.

I'd say it will be way too big and I can't believe you would need a stubborn dog collar. We have a pointer that is fast as lightning and he used to bolt back and forth through the standard collar. He doesn't do that any more with this one. You might try this http://www.amazon.com/Elite-Little--Ground-Receiver-Collar/dp/B000JCO78U/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1425959015&sr=8-11&keywords=petsafe+small+dog+shock+collar This is an in-ground model and you can lay it out to whatever property boundaries you choose. Be aware that the wireless sends out a circular signal. Even though we have about an acre of land, we had to adjust/reduce the distance (circumference) because one side of our overall yard is close to our neighbor. I suggest you call PetSafe and ask them for their recommendation and then check out the Amazon price.

I don't know about the comparison, but I have my collars set high on my min pins. They stay in the boundaries except my male occasionally can run across when he's not thinking about it. I don't think the fence has enough time to respond or his collar bounces away from his neck when this happens. I love this system none the less.

My install was all above ground.It was used with an invisible fence brand system.As far as i know it should work with any collar.
