I was a bit skeptical about purchasing this product as my 2 dogs are Maltese mixes, therefore pretty small. The product has exceeded my expectations – my dogs had to only go near the fence once to realize that they can no longer “sneak” through the regular fence.
My only concern is that the collars are too stiff for such small necks, and therefore the proper placement of the electrodes does not stay at their throats as recommended. I have moved the collar back to the correct spot numerous times just to see that they are not in the correct location five minutes later. If the collar attachment was connected to the throat module with some sort of hinge, this would alleviate this issue.
I do recommend this product even with this minor issue.

Even after a new fence my two dogs liked to dig out. I thought over all my options and went with the wireless fence. Well this put a stop to it. Easy installation and the collars are nice and light for small dogs. I can sleep easy knowing my dogs are not roaming the neighborhood! I should have gotten this system along time ago. I can even leave my gates open when I am working in the yard and both my dogs know not to go through the gate.

We have a small dog (8 lbs with a 6″ neck). This fence is great because the collar is small, lightweight and fits our dog. This is one of the few systems that is rated for small dogs. It only took our dog a short time to learn the fence. He now enjoys more freedom outside with the family.

We purchased this product after receiving quotes for invisibile fences costing $1,300. The instalation is easy and anyone can do it. All you need is typical side walk edger to cut a slit in the ground to stick the wire in. We installed the main unit in the garage and drilled a hole thru the wall for the wires. I purcased conduit separately to protect the wire until it reached the ground. You should also consider purchasing asphault filler to cover the wire along the gap between the driveway and sidewalk. Overall the installtion took me 5 hours by myself with the majority of the time dedicated to putting the wire in the ground. This was easy but time consuming. Training our dog was also very easy and we could let him loose in the yard after only three training sesions. After we installed our fence, many of our neighbors also were convinced that they could do it as well. By doing this yourself, you can realize savings of $200/hr compared to paying someone else to do it for you. We are very satisfied and would recommed this product to everyone with a small dog. One of our neighbors went for the professional installation and had it installed three weeks before we did. Our dog was trained well before their’s as their company had to come out each time to adjust the settings on the collar as they we not able to control it themselves. If you have any ablity with tools, you can do this yourself.
