PetSafe Guardian GPS Dog Fence – No Subscription – Create Your Own Wireless Fence for Dogs – for Yards 3/4 Acres or Larger – World's Safest GPS Dog Fence Tech – New, Redesigned Collar

Think it won't happen to you? Yeah, neither did I, but six months ago my 5 year old Border Collie/German Shepherd Dog chased a squirrel out into the road and got clipped by a car. She was lucky; only a broken front leg, but the leg was broken badly, had problems healing and six months, countless animal hospital visits, two surgeries and shock wave therapy later, she is finally able to roam free in the yard again.I have over two acres of land and two dogs. My other dog is a 7 year old German Shepherd mix as well and while she respects her boundaries, my five year old tends to get "in the zone" when she is chasing something and nothing else matters. Until now that is...I bought two of these units so that I can overlap the signal and got two collars that way. Set up was a breeze; the worst part is figuring out where you want your boundaries to be and then setting the flags. They are pretty much plug and play once the collars are charged. I have a garage on the back of my property so putting one there and one in the house garage ended up working near perfectly, with the exception that it creates a bit of a figure eight, so the boundary is pretty narrow in some spots. Obviously if I moved the units closer together this would not be an issue but I wanted to get the maximum acreage out of the units to allow my dogs as much freedom as possible while still keeping them safe.I won't lie to you...it hurts to train them, especially if they are older dogs and have had a lot more freedom in the past. It takes them a few days to understand why they can't go the same places that they used to and when they get the "correction" it momentarily hurts them and confuses them. Yes, it hurts. I tried it on myself. It hurts while it happens but leaves no lasting effect. When they yelp and jump it will break your heart, but it is absolutely needed. The level of correction depends on the dog. My older dog was on a 3 and was traumatized for two days afterward but has since gotten over it. My younger dog, the one that got hit by a car, was not phased by 3 at all and I ended up giving her the highest setting. It only took two corrections for her to understand that when she hears the beep she'd better turn back and get back onto the property. Tonight she was chasing a bird at full speed and stopped short before the boundary. I was amazed.Is the system expensive? You betcha. But it's worth every penny. After spending upwards of $6k to fix my girl after getting hit by a car, trust me, it's a pretty small price to pay. Not to mention not having to walk her in the yard on the cold New England winter nights anymore which is priceless. I love that they can once again use the doggie door to the house and come and go as they please without me ever worrying that they will leave their yard. It only takes 10 seconds for them to make a bad decision and get hurt.A couple of notes:I had some issues with wishy-washy boundaries and lack of beeping/correction when I first set it up and read that you should not place near metal objects. Since both of my units were in garages and near cars/metal door frames, etc. mounting the units up high on the walls as far away as possible from metal corrected that issue.MAKE SURE YOUR COLLARS ARE CHARGED! They will emit a beep when they need to be charged and it confuses your poor dog if they are in the yard when it beeps or if they hear the beep while they are in the house. I turn the collars off now when not in use (whenever they are in the house) and make sure they are charged as often as possible. My next door neighbor has the other unit with the battery operated collars and constantly complains that the batteries do not last long at all, so the fact that these collars are rechargeable was another plus for me. We shall see how long they last.This product gets a five star rating from me. It has only been a few weeks since I received it but I am already very pleased with the peace of mind it has given me, ease of use and how quickly my dogs adapted to it.

When the weather is clear and there are no trees obstructing, the collar is usually accurate within 20 feet, which is already not great. During rain, however, the gps fence line moves randomly. Today, it shocked her even though she was not close to any line (we have five acres and she was in the middle of it). So, I took the collar off my poor baby girl and put the collar on the kitchen table so I could soothe her. After sitting on the table, motionless, for 10 min, it randomly started beeping and vibrating and shocking the air. Just the sound of it sent my 65lb German Shepherd puppy running to the safety of her crate. Fortunately, I'm still within the return product window. This collar would be totally worth the price if it worked, but it most definitely does NOT work.

No false beeps! Easy to change collar battery every 2-3 days and works exactly as described. I had one issue with adding a second collar and Tatum in support went the extra mile to solve my problems.I have tried other systems and they all had false beeping issues when my dog was in the fence zone. This system doesn’t do that and saves your pet from a lot of stress. If you do have questions, their support is number one. Thanks again Tatum for your help!Easy battery swaps. All the other collars require removing them from the pet and charging 4-8 hours. For those hours, your pet may escape. I always have 2 extra batteries charging and swap them in seconds with the collar on. All GPS correction Collars are battery hogs. They will not last more than 2-3 days. Actually, this product has a longer battery than most If connected to your WiFi.No false beeps like every other GPS Collars. False beeps are cruel to a dog who doesn’t know where to go when they happen.Very good base station range - once the collars are setup, the base is really just to send low battery notices. I have 5 acres so I swapped the Petsfe base antenna for a 6dbi walki talki antenna (see picture). You need a VHF band (150 MHz) one from Amazon. I am using a Reteevis brand and it covers all 5 acres. Be sure to order with the correct male SMA type as the “paddle antenna” you are replacing. Picture shows a male sma but for UHF. You need to get a VHF. This product uses the “MURS” VHF band.No subscription required! Once you buy it it’s free. Pet safe offers great support. Call with your questions.In summary, great product but poor instructions. Once you get it setup, it’s trouble free and the best GPS Correction Collar on the market today. My wish is that Petsafe would offer this system with a subscription option to perform tracking and multiple fences.This is by far the best wireless fence I’ve used. The GPS technology feels very secure, and I appreciate that there’s no monthly fee. The new collar is lightweight and looks stylish. My dog responds well to the boundary alerts, and I feel confident knowing he’s safe within our yard

Too early to give this a 5 star rating. I found that the planned border fluctuates. Seem to be easily changed but the fluctuation is concerning

This is very easy to use. There are clear directions. The app is user friendly. I love that a paid subscription isn’t needed. I would recommend this

We really wanted to like this unit. It made sense for the size of our yard, not needing a subscription, and price. The original setup was very easy, but because our wifi can be inreliable, the system connection wasn’t continuous and we never knew when it wasn’t working until after the fact. (When WiFi is down, the app won’t work, and then the collar stops working.)We didn’t want to have to worry about whether the collar was working. The whole point was having peace of mind that our dog was safely within the yard when we weren’t out there with her. We will have to go back to the drawing board to find a solution that doesn’t require a subscription but isn’t reliable solely on our wifi.
