PetSafe Elite Little Dog In-Ground Fence Collar

I already had an underground fence installed that I use with my American Bully with the PetSafe stubborn dog collar. He is 5 years old, took 2 weeks to train, and stays in bounds even if his collar battery is dead for months. I trained my 7 year old Chihuahua when she was a puppy and after the first year I stopped using the collar and she never leaves the yard, but the box on her collar was much bigger than this model. Now I’m on day 3 of training my 5 month old Chihuahua Lucy. This small dog collar fits her without the box being too bulky. She is pictured in the collar at a current weight of 8 lbs 8oz. It is adjustable to get much smaller and much bigger. She is up to level 3 on the collar and I don’t think I’ll need to set it higher. It’s really important to use the flags and leash walk for the first couple weeks, until the dog can resist temptations on the other side of the line. The battery it arrived with was pretty much dead out of the box, so I suggest ordering replacement batteries at the same time as ordering the collar. I love allowing my dogs to be “free” in the yard.

I bought this collar for a third dog on our system. We have used this dog containment system for 20 years with 6 dogs. I wouldn’t have a dog without it. The system allows the dogs so much freedom. My dogs go outside for hours at a time without supervision. They are quite accustomed to it and I’m certain they are very seldom shocked. The vibration is reminder enough. They have access to the garage and one and a half acres (food, water, shade and shelter). They are quite content. It’s a great system! We dog sit our daughter’s Australian Shepard and wanted a collar for him so he would have the freedom of our other dogs. I bought this collar and the sensitivity was not the same as our other two collars. I would have needed to turn up the range on the transmitter for it to work properly and then the exclusion range would be messed up for our other dog’s collars. I called the customer service line for the company and they said the new collar should not perform that way. They said it could be a battery but offered to send out the newest rechargeable battery collar at no cost. They sent it to me 2nd day shipping. This new collar is much improved and works perfectly. So while I wasn’t satisfied with this collar the company’s customer service went above and beyond to remedy the situation. My 20+ year experience with them has always been good. This is a great company to work with.

Our Cavalier King Charles pup was an expert escape artist. We tried everything else before this. He had this fence system figured out in about 10 minutes and he has not escaped our yard once in the 2 months we’ve had it, nor does he even try anymore. This system is awesome! Worth every penny. My husband didn’t actually dig the ground up, completely, just used landscaping pins to keep it in place and topped with a small amount of packed dirt and it worked great. He had worn the collar in the rain and swimming and it’s held up great. The battery is working fine after 2 months of daily use. Great purchase!

My wife’s dog is wild. Mini-Pom is 5lbs soaking wet. In spite of training he would see another dog or a squirrel and run away, and take off for hours. Neighbours hated him. Big collars are too big and too strong (eg for the retriever) so this is the PERFECT solution. I use it with the SportDog system since they’re related brands and customer service confirmed they’re compatible. It beeps to remind, the stimulus increases, and then it gives him a good little reminder not to stray. He knows is boundary well and doesn’t test it any longer. FYI he’d run through it at setting 3 / 5 so I keep it at 5 / 5 but that’s probably a 1 or 2 out of 5 on the “big collars” for “normal dogs” lol. I do love him. I hate to love him. But I do love him.

This is a very expensive system, but the only one that i could find that fits very small dogs. the ‘width’ of the shock area is very small, no matter how you set it, so the dogs can cross that width easily then get shocked again when the try to reenter the yard…also the boundary seems to have numerous areas where it doesn’t work…maybe 2 feet spaces in various areas….may be a problem with the collars or??? I have had other in ground elect fences that have worked great and cost significantly less, but as stated above, this is the only system available for very small dogs.

We spent over $400 on this item along with accessories. It worked great. I Checked the device today and it is dead. There seems to be no power going through it.

We tried multiple outlets.
We made sure the AC adapter was all the way in.

The device never beeped showing a disconnect, or any other issues. It just seems like it isn’t getting power.

Opened the back and pulled 2 fuses. The both look like they’re in good shape.

Not sure what to do. Hope the company has a solution for us. We’re big fans of the product, when it works.

IT WAS THE AC POWER PLUG. the device wasn’t we had to order a replacement to power the unit.
