Mixed, or too few independent ratings to call. In our score this is 1.75 of 2 points. How we score
Praise that comes up again
- range adjustable, covers ~1/2 acre
- no wires to bury, quick setup
- portable
- cheap replaceable batteries
Praise
“Over 20 + years and our original unit still works.”
Complaint
“Battery: another factor that varies too much. Lasts 1-3 months is a significant amount.”
Praise
“A squirrel can taunt him from a few feet away and our dog will not leave his boundary.”
Complaint
“3 collars later with two dogs and ONLY ONE Working COLLAR!!!”
Complaint
“Perimeter is not static, maybe weather or WiFi fluctuations change the safe area.”
Complaint
“The collar is also quite large. It’s a bit too big for my dog but she doesn’t seem to mind wearing it.”
Quotes are word for word from the linked pages, and we pick praise and complaints alike. Reviews on the brand's own site and reviews written for a free product are not counted. Store ratings change over time; the date shows when we checked.
