PetSafe Stay & Play Wireless Pet Fence

UPDATE: Although I am still pleased with the overall concept of this product, I am becoming increasingmy frustrated with the power cord. FOR this to be not the best location possible for my dogs I needed to have it plugged into an extension cord. FOR whatever reason, and after trying multiple cords, the unit continuously and randomly loses power. If this happens while I’m at work and the “no power alert” is no longer sounding, the unit is useless. I will be reaching out to Amazon & Pet Safe for a response.

Love, love, love this! Just what I was looking for. We have a large yard that would be difficult to fence in but needed a way to contain two newly adopted yellow labs. It took a bit to figure out just where to place the base to keep them away from the neighbors yard on one side but give them enough space to join us at the pool on the other. I would give this five stars if the base could be located outside. I currently have it in the garage as that’s the location that gives the best radius. I was slightly concerned with the volume of the tone being so low, I’ve only ever needed to use tone – they respond very well! After using this for approximately six weeks I’m thinking the volume is fine, I’d still be happier with a louder tone though. I’d also like to see more choices in collar color. My labs look almost identical and when out in the yard it’s tough to call them by their correct names without having those helpful hints! A choice of black or red just doesn’t do it for me!
The training materials were helpful but honestly, it only took me three days to show them their boundaries before I was comfortable with letting them out off leash. They respond very well and learned quickly. I’m still paying close attention as we do have “wildlife” all around but they’re doing excellent – the didn’t chase the squirrel that ran across the driveway out of their boundary so it’s all good!
All in all, very pleased with this unit and would recommend it.

We have 4 dogs and also foster dogs of all ages and this system was so easy to set up! We have tried wire fences, regular fences etc. and nothing has worked comparable to this! Our dogs were trained to the fence within a couple days and the set up took less than an hour.

Works well but wish the battery lasted a little longer…gets about a week out of it! Took my dogs a little while to get used it to but now it perfect, they can go outside off leash and stays in the yard! Also awesome for camping!

Works great with my Petsafe Stay and Play wireless fence. I like the battery after what happened with my rechargeable collars. The rechargeable receiver wireless fence collars that came with the fence broke after a few years.

Unfortunately the plastic cracked on both of them. I checked them before putting them on all the time. The first one cracked from the post to a corner. Second one cracked while my Boone dog was wearing it outside. It malfunctioned when it broke and he came yelping to the door. It was shocking him for no reason. I took it off and saw it was cracked and leaking acid. Checked the dog and cleaned off his neck with baking soda poultice to neutralize it but he was already burned by the acid. Trip to vet and after healing he is fine but I needed new collars and didn’t want to have that happen again! I had to get him a harness to wear while healing and he had to go out on a line so he wouldn’t go visiting.

He and his sister love to play outside and there are no fences where we live. Too much snow in winter. I found this one that has the batteries and it said it is good for all the wireless fences Petsafe makes. It works really great and I don’t have to worry about the acid. Buying more batteries on Amazon cheap because it ran out. Battery lasted a long time. Even with dead battery Boone dog stays in the boundries when the collar is on him.

I don’t want to tempt him though. The squirrels are out of their winter holes already and that will test his will to stay inside the wireless perimeter. Can’t blame him for that! Pic is of them outside in the snow. The poles sticking out of the snow are for the bow gate on my 5 ft high horse panels and the snow is more than 5 feet deep where the dogs are standing. The horses are on a farm in the lowlands in the winter. Too much snow for them here.
