does this system not help with keeping dogs in the yard

These are batteries, not an entire system. I bought the batteries for our dog's bark collar. The batteries work, but they don't last longer than several hours, so we get about a day's use out of each battery.

No; I have used High Tech pet fence both buried and at the surface of my yard. Works both ways :) Just be sure to secure the wire if you do not bury it. Lawn mowers and kids are good at picking up the wire if it is not buried.

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

If you mean one that prevents your dogs from going out if you don't want them to, then yes it does.

The answer is no. But don't waste your money. I have 5 dogs and this device doesn't work.

Hello. I purchased this unit to drive strays from my backyard. (Which didn't work by the way). There aren't any deers, squirrels or chipmunks where I live so I'm unable to comment. But according to the yard sentinel website, this device is designed to repel both domestic and wild animals.

I have it set to 1. I swear it seems to be getting the next door neighbors dog to my house. They are big dogs. Try it. Keep the box and return it if not. That was my plan but I kept mine.

Actually, it doesn't seem to work at all. The sound supposedly goes off when the dog is close to the to the unit. The *&&*$%$ barking dog next door pays no attention to the alleged high pitched sound which only the dog is supposed to hear. Save your money.

We had the unit set up facing our garden and it kept all animals out. It is annoyingly noisy and at night it flashes a light off and on so consider that in a yard application.

Yes it does work on dogs. I have one on my front porch and now the dogs just walk by and keep on walking. They used to go on my lawn but now they just pass up my yard.

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.

Hi Deb. I have 4 acres that is just a flat field with no trees. I cannot get the system to work for my entire yard. 2 acres is about the max you can get where it works "most" of the time. I have had a lot of issues with the system over the past year and a half. It works some days and not others. Every 3 months or so I have to re-teach the fence boundary or it stops working all together. If you really have to keep the dog in the yard, I would not recommend this system to you unless your willing to do the constant maintenance. I have two very intelligent border collies. They seem to know when the boundary is working and when it's not but they have been in the system long enough now that they do hang in the yard almost all the time. Chasing the neighbors cows is really the only time the one tests the system and when it's working, he turns around. Otherwise cows beware.... I would not purchase again and they do not allow you to return the system for a refund (I asked). I would go with a wired system for the money as this one is not worth the $800 it cost for its quality and reliability. Thanks and good luck with your decision. After typing all this, I see this is for the radial version. I have the custom shaped fence which allows you to build a custom fence. I do not have this exact unit.

No. It is set up to go off when an animal walks near it, so you would need multiple units to cover both your back and front yards. Hope this helps!

Yes it works great. We use under our deck stairs. That keeps on dogs on the deck and in our back yard. We also use a paw away disc in the house. One collar for both.

I used the system to train my German Shepherd Pup to fetch the ball bring it back and to sit using hand sign. The program didn't work for me with any of the other commands like stay, don't cross this door etc. it wasn't worth the money to me.

That's kind of the idea of it - to keep dogs out of a circular area around the rock. It's won't work as a fence to keep dogs IN that circle, only out of it. How well it works as a fence to keep your dog out of the circle depends on your dog, whether he or she is already trained with an electric collar, and how much he or she cares about the beeps & small shocks. It won't work as well as a real solid fence, but my dog (who was already trained to our underground fence) gives the rock a wide berth, even if her toys get close to it. She'll wait as I go inside the circle and get the toys for her, because she does not like the shock and she knows how to avoid getting it.
