why do you have to be 6ft away from your dog.

The sound is such that it can permanently damage their hearing at too short of a range. 6 ft is the ideal balance between audibility and safety.

it says you have to be 6ft away from the dog but i never am and it still works. the dogs hearing is just fine.

It beeps and the closer the dog gets to the line it beeps faster. You can adjust how close they can get to the line and it will shock them.

The base unit puts out a wireless signal which is received by the receiver on the pet collar. The signal from the base unit can be adjusted so it is stronger or weaker depending on your setup. So the range can be 2 ft to 10 ft.

No , I don't think it will work. We purchased one for the neighbors dogs who are small dogs that bark constantly, and put it as close as I could, which is about 40-50 feet away, which is what they say. The problem is the dogs move farther away than that. Anyway, it is just sitting out there now, and the dogs are barking.

I only used the device to keep the dog from jumping on me, so it was always quite close. Sorry I can't help you with the range.

The extra transmitter will increase the distance. I'm not sure how much distance that the transmitters have to be separated. I have a transmitter at my house and my mother in law has one at her house. My dog has lots of room to run.

My two dogs (dobies) get within about eight feet of the wire. They get no closer, even when there's someone at the gate. I have around 1 1/2 acres surrounded by the fence. Not sure if that's what you need. The other answer addresses how large an area can be enclosed.

I'd say its around a foot to a foot n a half! My dog actually stays back further now cause he's learned where the sound starts. :)

At 6 ft the pup gets a signal, 5 ft it gets louder, 3 ft from the wire is a mild shock, as they get closer it becomes a stronger shock. You can adjust only the strength of the signal to the wire not to the collar. I know as I try it on myself before I try it on my pup.

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

Depends on how small. The range isn't super far, maybe, 15 or 20 feet for an adult human, so I'm guessing less for a small animal. A few feet at most.

No, the wireless system sits near a window and the dos get a 50 foot radius to stay in. The dogs hear a beet before they re shocked if going across the boundary.

That means it is not recommended to put near the place where children and pets are always hang out to, because this is a dangerous chemical powder that kills bugs, if children and pets smell accidentally the result is they will chock on it, and will damage their weak lungs. So it is better to leave far away from where children and pets can reach to.

Mine never worked! Two dogs stood 15 ft from device unobstructed barking and device didn't bother them in the least!

There would be no way for your dog to get to the other side to do his business. I would not want my dog doing his business anywhere near where he/she sleeps.

Worked really well at about thirty feet and somewhat at about sixty feet. In my case at sixty feet the emitter wasn't directed right at the dog. What is actually needed is a device that makes a dog-owner have screaming and slobbering fits whenever the dog barks.
