Petsafe Radio Fence

Even our malaute pays attention to the radio fence; it is fabulous. Her headstrong, hard headedness was no match for the radio fence and she is now able to roam over an acre or so in an area that is safe.

Pros: is strong enough to convince my malamute

Cons: I'm not sure there is one

We have used this product for all our dogs. You don't need to purchase the most expensive name brand. This one works great. You must first train your dogs to the flags and they do have to receive a small shock at the very beginning. We have put it on ourself to make sure the shock is not harmful. Once the dogs learn the flag boundaries, they learn to hear the beeps that increase as they get nearer to the buried line. Most dogs never need to have the shock again. It has kept our dogs safe. Even if other dogs come near the boundaries, our dogs respect the line.

It works so well, that we are considering getting one for our cat!

Pros: works for many dogs

Cons: must do the training to make it work
