Overview

Wireless containment system that creates a circular boundary without buried wire, using a waterproof receiver collar with a replaceable battery and tone plus static correction. Built for dogs and cats over 5 lb, from the parent company of Invisible Fence brand.

Unlike wired in-ground fences, this system broadcasts a radio boundary from a base station, so setup is largely plug in rather than trenching. The tradeoff of any wireless boundary is that the containment shape is a circle around the transmitter, not a shape that follows property lines, and signal can be affected by metal siding, hills or nearby wireless routers.

  • Wireless boundary with no wire burial
  • Waterproof collar receiver
  • Tone plus static correction
  • Fits dogs and cats over 5 lb

Who it's for

Suits owners who want a fast-to-install boundary for a yard that is roughly circular and free of major terrain changes, and pets that already respond to tone and light static correction. Owners with irregular lot shapes or dense metal construction should check their layout against the coverage circle first.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • No trenching or buried wire required
  • Replaceable battery collar avoids recurring battery purchases
  • Waterproof receiver suits outdoor and wet conditions
  • Rated for pets as light as 5 lb
Cons
  • Boundary is a circle, not a custom shape
  • Signal can be disrupted by metal siding or hills

Performance notes

The collar layers a warning tone before stepping up to static correction, letting a trained pet learn the boundary from sound alone over time. Because the field radiates from a single base unit, coverage strength drops with distance and can be uneven around obstacles, so placement of the transmitter matters as much as the yard size.
