Overview
An in-ground containment fence system from PetSafe, the parent company behind Invisible Fence Brand, built around 500 ft of boundary wire with coverage expandable up to 5 acres. Despite being filed under training collars, the kit is a wired containment setup with transmitter, receiver collar and wire.
This is a wired in-ground fence, not a standalone training collar, so it needs the boundary wire buried or laid around the yard perimeter and connected to the transmitter before the receiver collar does anything. Assembly is required, and the 500 ft of included wire sets the starting coverage, which can be extended toward the stated 5-acre maximum with additional wire.
- 500 ft boundary wire included
- Expandable up to 5 acres
- Includes receiver collar, transmitter, flags, mounting hardware
- 1 year limited warranty
Who it's for
Fits owners with a yard they can wire for containment and who are prepared to install a boundary rather than use a wireless or portable system. Not for renters or anyone unable to run wire around the property.

Performance notes
The system works by burying or laying the 500 ft boundary wire around the containment area and connecting it to the transmitter, which the receiver collar reads to correct the dog near the boundary; training flags mark the line during the training period. Coverage scales with how much wire is laid, up to the stated 5-acre maximum.
