Fantastic Fence!
Fantastic wireless fence. This was so easy to set up. The boundaries stay consistent. Our dog is happy to run free. We are happy he isn't running all over the neighborhood. We bought a cheaper one. It only lasted a few months. The boundaries were never consistent so our dog continued to get loose on occasion. Then we bought an underground fence. It took us two weeks to get it all layed and buried. Just to have the neighbor dogs dig the wire back up and break it. Once you have breaks it is impossible to fix. You just have to start over. We said to heck with it

Not great for odd shaped yards
This product did not work for our yard. We have a wedge-shaped yard and it was hard to get the setting right so that the range was not in our neighbors yard. We've previously had a Pet Safe in ground fence and it was perfect for our dog. This product was spotty and we had areas here there was no signal. Hard to train a puppy on an inconsistent signal.

    Worth the money. It works great!
    This works perfectly with my 12 lb terrier mix. She is stubborn and we could not let her off the leash. Now with the Stay and Play she can roam around outside and stay safe from the road.

    great product Walmart app getting bad
    the wireless dog fence works great I had to put it on stage 3, when she goes past the flags it will start to beat and after the second time of being static charge if she hears the beep she comes right back only took her twice to know I suggest to get the one that's rechargeable so you don't have to keep wondering when to get batteries for the device but what I didn't like is I had put it in my shopping cart and I had got off it to do something forgot about it the next day it was saying through my email thank you for placing your order through Walmart the system took it upon itself to order it without my consent Walmart is getting bad I will never leave nothing in my shopping cart again

    This was the solution we needed!
    We moved to a new home on a lake, so we didnt want to add a full fence and obstruct our neighbors view or our own. My sister had recommended this product so we decided to try it. It was super easy to set up (my non-techy husband set it up while I was out of town) and works as expected. I have even been able to move the hub to a discreet location and it still gets enough signal. Our dog responded very well to it, and was trained with beeps only within a few days.

    Great produce
    I've only had this for about a month now but it is working perfectly. My beagle never leaves the area. I like that the collar doesn't need batteries and can just be charged. The only negative I see is that the transmitter gives off this slight static sound which I find somewhat annoying. Our previous transmitter was the larger gray one and it was totally silent.

    Lifesaver!
    This wireless fence has been a life saver for us and our wandering lab/pointer! We take it on the road with us in our camp trailer, too! I don't know how I ever lived without it!

    Buy the older model.
    The old model works great! This new model has issues. When my pet was inside the house, the collar would loose connection and shock my dog. We got a replacement and continued to have the same issues.

    Keeps beeping
    My dog is very timid. She doesn't need the correction, only the beep to stay in the yard. However the thing I didn't like about this system is once it starts to beep to let the dog know they are at the boundary, if the dog steps back into the ‘safe' zone, it continues to beep for at least 20 seconds. I know this would frighten and confuse my dog so I had to return it. Otherwise the system was simple to set up and adjust the range. It just wasn't a good system for my dog.

    This wireless fence system has worked very well for our dog. It did not take as long as we thought for her to learn the boundaries of the fence. She seems to like the freedom to roam around the yard now that she has learned. Very pleased with this system.

    To expensive
    I think the collars are difficult to regulate if they are on or off. You have to watch the light blink instead of an actual turn off and on. They died and dogs got out. I thought they were off but just have been on. Its just not what I expected for the money. I also paid almost 150 for an extra collar. For 500 dollars I am less than thrilled with the product.

    Works great
    My only complaint is that it took me too long to find the range dial on the transmitter, it's pretty well hidden underneath lol! But it works great and was easy to figure out.

    I like I didn't need to set too high and my dog seems to learn really fast. He did well all weekend even playing outside with the grandkids. All it took was the beep and he turned right around. Setting the collar for strength I wanted was not easy however. Managed to get to the second level but would not go any higher.

    It works!
    I am a pet sitter and this is a must-have for me. When we first got this, I was thinking it would be a lot of work setting up and digging some type of underground wire system. This isn't as complicated. My husband set it up and didn't seem to have any trouble. Basically, you plug in the transmitter and set the distance. Charge up the collar and then use the flags for the circular boundary. It only took a few training sessions with our pup to learn. There are 5 different levels of static to choose from depending on your dog. Another good point is that this is portable, so if you are traveling you can set this up away from home. It would be great for camping. If you have more than one dog, you can purchase additional collars. I am happy with this system.

    Finally Contained!
    This wireless fence is a life saver, literally! I recently moved to a small house with a nice big fenced in yard. I thought it would be perfectly safe to let my dog out into the yard unattended. Boy was I wrong, she is very high energy and managed to dig under the fence in about 15 minutes. Thankfully she came back but of course now I had to find a way to make sure this didn't happen again cause there is a busy road beside my house. Enter the Petsafe Stay and Play Compact Wireless Fence. It is really easy to set up and offers a large area of coverage. I had a few small issues at first since my house is so small I had to find somewhere that didnt have any interference from large metal obects like my fridge and washing machine. Once I found the best spot, I didnt have any more issues. It took a few days for her to get used to the boudary of the flags, but she slowly started to learn that when it beeps, that is far enough. She is now fully adapted after only 4 days, I can let her out and not have to worry about her escaping and getting hit by a car. I am so grateful for this wireless fence! Such a lifesaver and so easy to set up and use.

    Saved my dogs life I'm sure if it
    My dogs caught on to this quickly and it definitely keeps them in. I have an Anatolian Shepherd and an Anatolian / Great Pyrenees mix, so thats a pretty big deal. That said, a few years ago I tried the inground system on the same breed and he would charge right thru it, so I do believe it depends on the dog's temperament. I even tried the stubborn dog collar. Its working amazing for the dogs I have now though. Only four stars because the boundary line is kind of inconsistent, but I do live on a ridge so that might be part of the reason.
