PetSafe Wireless Pet Containment System PIF-300

With the PetSafe Wireless Pet Containment System PIF-300, you can keep pets over 8 pounds safely contained in the area of your choosing. Simply plug in the transmitter and it will emit a constant radio signal from an adjustable range of up to 90 feet in all directions. Typically, full set-up takes less than an hour and no installation, wire burying or stakes are required.

PetSafe Wireless Pet Containment System PIF-300 Product Description

The PetSafe Wireless Containment System is a simple, yet effective alternative to traditional outdoor fencing or buried wire fencing. Instead of using spools of boundary wire around your yard, the PIF-300 uses radio frequency to guard your pet against straying. The system is also portable, allowing you to provide a wireless pet area when traveling.

PetSafe Wireless Dog Fence creates a circular boundary around the area
The PetSafe Wireless Fence creates a circular boundary around the area you have chosen, allowing your pet to run freely inside this safe zone.

To begin training with the PIF-300, temporarily define the safe pet area with boundary flags as a visual aid to the pet. Activate the receiver collar and adjust accordingly to fit them, ensuring the contact points are touching the neck. The system should be used with dogs six months or older, and set-up and training manuals are included.

The centrally located transmitter sends an adjustable radio signal to a lightweight receiver collar on your pet, giving them a 90-foot range (½ an acre) to run and play. When the pet strays into the warning zone, the receiver collar will give a warning beep. If they continue past the warning zone, a safe, static correction is delivered through the contact points until they return to the safe pet area.

What this PetSafe wireless dog fence system buyer has said

Holly H. Beverly from Kentucky is one of happy buyer of this product.
Since we are in the process of selling our home we decided to give this wireless system a try. FIRST, I would suggest you take your dog's temperament into consideration. Although I wouldn't consider our adopted 90 lb. male Weimaraner a wus, he isn't the Alpha dog either.

The training aids were good and he quickly learned how far he could go on static shock level 4. He has since become so accustomed to our establised boundaries that we have lowered it to level 2 (level 1 is just an audible beep). Adjusting the shock level is very easy - it just involves unscrewing a small cover on the collar and depressing a button. On the transmitter, you adjust the RADIUS (remember that the signal is emitted in a circle from the transmitter) using a dial. EASY! It did take some effort to locate it correctly in our home - they suggest it be 24" off of the floor and it obviously has to be near an outlet, but it can emit a signal up to 90 feet in every direction - that's a total cross section of 180 feet!

The only disadvantage we found - and it is minor - is that if your home sits higher (or lower??) than part of your yard it will add few extra feet to your radius until the collar picks up the signal. This can be overcome if you build this allowance into your transmitters placement. Overall, we are thrilled and we've had this about 4 months now. I have had people tell me that once water gets under the battery cover, the battery dies. I don't know, but after looking at the cover I think it would have to be a downpour before that happened - or maybe the dog went swimming or was bathed? Regardless, I placed a piece of duct tape - not pretty but functional - over the cover to keep this from happening.

Finally, we will continue to use this even after we move since it has worked so well. A good investment to protect your pet but PLEASE don't forget to take the collar off of your dog before putting him in the car and backing our of the garage. YIKES!!!

What PetSafe Extra Wireless Fence Receiver PIF-275-19 Happy Buyers Have Said

Great collar for a great wireless fence system (Kelli Shaver, Morehead, KY USA)

We've had a PIF wireless fence system for about 3 years and it's always worked great for us. We recently added a second dog to the family and picked up an additional collar. Below is a comparison between the original PIF collars and this new one:

Pros:PetSafe Extra Wireless Fence Receiver, PIF-275-19
- Lighter weight
- Low battery indicator
- Multiple correction levels
- Easy to change the battery
- Better range*

Cons:
- Uses a proprietary battery that I can't just go pick up at any store like I can the old collar (only a problem if you don't have a major pet store nearby-- which I don't).
- More features, easily removable battery, might mean just more stuff to go wrong.
- Better range*

Ok, I listed "better range" as both good and bad, and it is. It's an improvement on the old collar, so if you're replacing or have a new fence system, that's great. If you're using this collar in conjunction with an old collar then you can expect one dog to have a slightly bigger (about 40ft diameter) roaming range then the other. We have a large yard so it's not an issue, but in a smaller yard, I can see where it could potentially become a problem.

All in all, a great product, good, sound construction, and the PIF wireless system has been great for us. The new collar has some advantages and disadvantages to the original one that shipped with the system, but most of the changes are good. The collar (and the system itself) is definitely worth the money for its ease of use and for keeping your pet safe. Amazon has it cheaper than I've seen it anywhere else online.

Excellent product with excellent results!! (Sandra K. Smith "Dan & Sandra Smith AKC Labs" , Rainier, WA USA)

My husband and I raise AKC labs and have used the Petsafe Wireless system for years. Our dogs learn quickly where their boundary is, and have not suffered any ill affects from this excellent product. We recommend this product to all purchasers of our Labs. Not only will it keep them safely within the confines of their yard, it prevents them from being hurt by possibly wandering onto nearby busy streets. I'd rather they be "warned" by a very small "charge" of electricity than lose them to the wheels of a car.

So far, we have purchased 4 of these collars, and I'm ordering more today. FYI, the company producing these collars really go out of their way to make sure the product is correct and have stood behind their guarantee when we had a small problem with one of them. They sent me a new collar and had us return the old one...in that order, no questions!! Pretty good customer service in today's day and age!!! I'll continue to do business with them!!!

Havahart Wireless Radial Shaped Dog Fence System

Havahart Wireless Radial Shaped Dog Fence System
Havahart Wireless Radial Shaped Dog Fence System

The Most Advanced Circular-Shaped Wireless Dog Fence

Stretch the boundaries of wireless dog fencing with the Radial-Shape Havahart Wireless Dog Fence -- the industry's most advanced do-it-yourself, dog containment system that's also easy to use and economical. This is the world's first digital wireless dog containment system to offer a Roaming Area that can expand the fence radius from 40 feet up to 400 feet--that is up to 11.5 acres and close to 20 times more Roaming Area than provided by the leading brand. Capable of containing up to 2 dogs, this wireless dog fence combines powerful new breakthrough technology with a stylish, compact Controller. It is easy to install with no need for trench digging. In less than 1 hour you can have your wireless fence up and running and begin training your dog.

Cutting Edge Technology Makes Constant Communication Possible

Radial-Shape Havahart Wireless Dog Fence
Both the Havahart Wireless Collar and the Controller contain nanoLOC TRX 2.4 GHz transceiver chipsets that send and receive radio transmissions from their antennas. While other brands utilize similar technology, Havahart Wireless was able to enhance the chipsets with modular signal amplification, strategic distortion filtering and complex algorithms. These 3 enhancements boost the performance of the Havahart Wireless system over the competition giving it enhanced signal strength, smarter interference filtering and more reliable communication between the Collar and the Controller to determine the distance to your dog.

To avoid signal blockage from your dog, Havahart Wireless strategically placed the antennas inside the Collar strap. This insures that the antennas can rest on the sides of your dog's neck and have enhanced communication with the Controller. Constant, reliable wireless communication between the Controller and the Havahart Wireless Collar enables the system to track and tell you the real-time distance to your dog. Exclusive Integrated Motion Sensor Technology conserves Collar battery life when the Collar is not moving.

Roaming area
The system forms a circular shaped boundary that has a wider Trigger Zone specifically designed to keep your dog safe inside the Roaming Area and away from danger. When your dog reaches your desired fence radius distance inside the Trigger Zone, the Controller sends a signal to the Collar to take corrective action.

Safety Made a Top Priority

With a safety shut-off for the correction cycle included as a standard feature, Havahart Wireless made the safety of your dog a top priority. With one tone only and five different static correction levels, you can choose the correction level that is best for your dog. The correction cycle persists until the dog returns 10 feet back inside the Roaming Area or until the safety shut-off feature activates after 30 seconds. Unlike an underground wire fence, the Radial-Shape Wireless Dog Fence will not correct your dog for returning back into the Roaming Area.

Small, Portable Controller

A fraction of the size of competitive systems, the sleek 5-inch tall fence controller allows for ideal yet discrete placement in your home, giving your dog maximum Roaming Area. This system is also completely portable. Take the system with you when you move or go on vacation.

Digital Set-up and Digital Alerts

The easy-to-read digital LCD screen lets you set the exact distance of your fence boundary and customize correction levels for up to 2 dogs in just a few simple steps. With boundary breach and low Collar battery alerts, you can keep track of what is most precious to you. It's that easy.

Training Your Dog: Program Overview

Proper training of your dog is the most crucial element to ensure the safe and successful operation of your Havahart Wireless Dog Fence. Below is an overview of the Havahart Wireless training program. It is important that you follow the instruction manual and complete the entire training process without skipping any phases. Proper training is your most valuable key to success!
Keep your sessions short and frequent--approximately 15 minutes long, 2-3 times a day.
  • Be firm, consistent and patient.
  • End sessions with lots of playtime and praise.
  • HAVE FUN!
Preliminary Phase through Phase 2

Preliminary Phase: Flag Awareness Training (Optional)

This phase allows your dog to become familiar and comfortable with the Training Flags. Your dog will wear the Havahart Wireless Collar, but the wireless electric dog fence should be TURNED OFF.

Phase 1: Passive Training (Days 1-3)

Set the Havahart Wireless Collar to Tone-only to introduce your dog to the Trigger Zone and teach him to move away from the flags upon hearing tone.

Phase 2: Active Training (Days 4-7)

Set the Havahart Wireless Collar to a low static correction level to help discourage your dog from going beyond the Trigger Zone.
Phase 3 through Phase 5

Phase 3: On-Leash Distractions (Days 8-11)

Teach your dog to ignore distractions that might tempt him to go outside the Trigger Zone.

Phase 4: Off-Leash Supervision (Days 12-15)

Similar to on-leash distraction training, take things one step further by removing the leash. This phase will encourage your dog to move freely within the Roaming Area.

Phase 5: Dog Monitoring (Days 16 and Beyond)

Your dog should be comfortable within the Roaming Area and reluctant to cross into the Trigger Zone with or without distractions. You should keep an eye on your dog after completing the training and monitor his behavior. Additional training may prove to be necessary. After three additional weeks of successful dog containment, you can begin to gradually remove the training flags by taking away every other flag, every few days.
Remember every dog is unique and may respond differently depending on age, size, temperament and ability to learn. Adjust your training accordingly.
