Petsafe If-300 Wireless Pet Containment System

Amazon.com Keep dogs over 8 pounds safely contained in the yard with this convenient wireless fence. Simply plug in the transmitter, and it emits a constant radio signal from an adjustable 5 to 90 feet in all directions. Full setup typically takes less than an hour, and no installation, no wire burying, and no stakes are required--ideal for portable installations or for people who relocate frequently. To begin, temporarily define the pet area with boundary flags for a visual aid in training the pet. The animal also wears a receiver collar with contact points touching the neck. When the pet strays into the warning zone, the receiver collar gives a warning beep. If the pet continues into the warning zone, a safe, static correction is delivered through the contact points until the animal returns to the safe pet area. The transmitter, which measures 8-1/2 inches by 9 inches by 9 inches, features an on/off switch, a boundary-control dial, a high/low switch, and a power indicator light. Measuring 1 inch by 2 inches by 1 inch, the waterproof receiver collar uses a 6-volt battery and includes interchangeable long and short contact points, a 25-second safety timeout, a screw-off cap covering the correction-level button, and a low-battery indicator light. The receiver's design also provides a concave interior wall (side facing the throat) and curved washers for comfort. The pet-containment system should be used with dogs six months or older, and a setup and training manual comes included. From the Manufacturer The PetSafe Premium Wireless Fence is a simple but effective containment system. A centrally located transmitter sends an adjustable radio signal up to a 90–foot radius (over half an acre) to a small, lightweight receiver on your pet's collar. While in the signal area, your dog is free to run and play. When the pet gets near the limit of the signal area, a warning beep is emitted from the collar. If your pet continues, a mild static correction is emitted to encourage the dog to stay in the safe zone.
