dog-wearing-invisible-fence-collar-by-Weatherfish.jpg PetSafe products are but one small portion of a large family of pet containment products made by the Radio Systems Corporation. Other brand names that fall under the same company are:

  • Guardian
  • PetSafe Pro
  • Innotek
  • SportDog
  • StayWell
  • Invisible Fence

 

In general, invisible fences are designed to keep your dog restricted to a designated area without the need for physical fence barriers or other types of mechanical barriers that may be less than pleasing to the eye.

There are 2 different styles of invisible fences, and PetSafe manufactures both types:

  • In-ground invisible fence systems
  • Wireless invisible fence systems

 

 

 

PetSafe In-Ground Invisible Fence

For the in-ground system, a wire will be buried underground around the perimeter of the desired containment area.

The wire acts as a transmitting antenna and is attached to the transmitter.

The dog wears a special collar with a receiver attached. This battery-operated radio receiver will pickup the signal transmitted through the underground wire as the dog approaches his designated boundary.

The first warning will be an audible beeping from the collar at a level the dog can easily hear. If the dog continues closer to the buried wire, he will receive a mild shock through 2 contact points that protrude through the collar and rub against the dog’s neck.

Of course, the receiver on the collar is battery-operated. You can get replacement batteries individually or you can sign up for PetSafe’s 1-year replacement battery plan where they will send you new batteries at the recommended replacement interval.

In short order the dog will learn that proceeding past the audible warning will result in an electrical shock and shortly he will stay within the designated borders without further shocking.

 

PetSafe Wireless Invisible Fence

With the wireless system, you have no buried wires. Intead, you have a radio transmitter that sends a signal over a small, adjustable range.

The collar operates the same as with the in-ground system, but instead of activating when you approach the buried wire, it will activate as you approach the set distance from the transmitter.

This makes pet containment an instant-on quick and easy operation. Just plug it in and set the maximum distance allowed and you’re done.

PetSafe offers a wide variety of invisible fence accessories and replacement components for both types of their electronic pet containment systems. Extra collars, broken wire break locaters, wire, flag kits, and much more.

With their extensive dealer organization, finding a PetSafe authorized retailer near you is as simple as entering your zip code.


Training Your Dog To Use A PetSafe Invisible Fence

When it comes to invisible fence products, PetSafe is a brand that has been around for many years.

They rely on extensive testing and research to ensure that their products are top of the line.

Your dog will be safely contained within a PetSafe invisible fence. Of course, you will have to spend some time getting your dog used to the invisible fence system and your dog’s new boundaries.

PetSafe experts are available to guide you through it.

I’ve been involved in RVing for 50 years now — including camping, building, repairing, and even selling RVs. I’ve owned, used, and repaired almost every class and style of RV ever made. I do all of my own repair work. My other interests include cooking, living with an aging dog, and dealing with diabetic issues. If you can combine a grease monkey with a computer geek, throw in a touch of information nut and organization freak, combined with a little bit of storyteller, you’ve got a good idea of who I am.

About Me

LynnetteI like to help Dog Parents find unique ways to do things that will save time & money -- so I write about "outside the box" Dog Tips and Dog Hacks that most wouldn't think of. I’m a lifelong dog owner -- currently have 2 mixed breed Golden Aussies that we found abandoned on the side of the road as puppies. I've always trained my own dogs and help friends train theirs, as well. Professionally, I worked at a vet and have several friends who are veterinarians -- whom I consult with regularly. (And just because I love animals so much, I also worked at a Zoo for awhile!) I've been sharing my best ideas with others by blogging full-time since 1998 (the same year that Google started... and before the days of Facebook and YouTube). My daily motivation is to help first-time dog owners be better prepared from the first day your new puppy enters your home. I like to help dog owners understand what's 'normal' and what you can expect in terms of living with and training your dog -- how to get through the ups & downs of potty training, chewing, teaching commands, getting your dog to listen, and everything else that takes place during that hectic first year! When I'm not training, walking, grooming, or making homemade treats for my dogs, you will find me at the corner of Good News & Fun Times as publisher of The Fun Times Guide (32 fun & helpful websites). To date, I've written over 500 articles for dog owners on this site! Many of them have upwards of 200K shares.
