PetSafe Extra Wireless Canine Fence Receiver PIF-275-19
PetSafe Extra Wireless Fence Receiver PIF-275-19 works only with PetSafe Wireless Fence Containment System as a replacement collar or to add a new dog. Offers 5 adjustable levels of correction, as well as a beep-only warning mode. Run-through protection reminds your pet to return to the approved area. Collar and receiver weigh only 2.5 ounces, making them a comfortable fit. The waterproof receiver includes a light that signifies low battery life. Ideal for dogs over 15 pounds. Also includes PetSafe RFA-67 battery module.
Pros:
- 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.
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!!!

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:
- 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.

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.
