Many of us with dogs would love to get a fence for our yard.
That would allow our dog to have a nice place to run and play without all of the dangers from wandering outside the yard.
Fencing in yards can be expensive and very difficult labor, especially for those who have a lot of ground to cover.
That is where dog fence technology comes in.
There are a few different types of dog fence systems, but we will look specifically at the PetSafe Wireless Dog Fence in this article.
The PetSafe Wireless Dog Fence goes by the model number PIF-300.
This is the latest technology that PetSafe has made in the way of dog containment.
This is a fantastic do-it-yourself system.
For those people who are like me and want the easiest possible installation, this is the product for you.
There are no wires to bury, no trenches to dig, and especially no holes for fence posts, concrete, nails, and all of the other things that installing a traditional fence require.
With this system, if you can plug it in, you can set it up.
The PetSafe Wireless Dog Fence is so portable, you can take it with you anywhere you go.
This is great for people who have a cabin, or like to take their pet with them when they go places.
After you plug in the dog fence, all you have to do is set the range you want for your boundary.
The system comes with flags to mark the edge of the boundary you set on the PIF-300.
This system is the best on the market when it comes to this type of containment.
It covers twice the range of any other wireless dog fence.
With just one transmitter, you can cover an area up to 180 feet in diameter.
That is plenty for most conventional yards.
If you have a large area of land you want to cover, the great thing about this dog containment product is that you can purchase additional transmitters which allow you to increase the area of coverage.
You can add more than two transmitters to this system.
The only thing to remember when considering one of these containment products is that the transmitters are not waterproof, so each needs to be in a safe location where it is out of the weather.
The PetSafe Wireless Dog Fence is also great in the fact that it can be used with more than one pet.
You can actually use it with an unlimited number of pets provided they all use the proper receiver collar, which are also available to you.
It is also nice to know that the transmitters and collars are available separately just in case you need to replace part of the system and not all of it.
For those of us who like to camp or be outdoors, there are also power inverters available that allow it to be plugged in to your vehicle which is very nice because we all know what kind of troubles our pets can get in when in a new, exciting environment.
Remember that you must properly train your pet when using the PetSafe Wireless Dog Fence just like with anything else we do with them.
There is a fantastic training guide and video that goes along with this unit, and it is also available on You Tube.
This is a fantastic item, and uses some of the best technology in the business.
It is a very humane way to keep your pet close by while giving him some freedom as well, provided the proper training techniques are used.
If this is a product that interests you, I suggest you do some research and see if it is right for you and your dog.
