Invisible Fence Brand Reviews

I have had an electric fence for years without issue. Recently the collars have been going off and shocking my dogs inside the house. I have video proof but to access the "lifetime guarantee" they require a $183 service call to adjust system or replace collars.

11/30/2023. Took dumped 2 yr old St Bernard from street. $600 on shots, vaccines, groomed etc. IF came out $222.00 for training for 25 mins. Dog broke barrier 4 hrs later & is gone still on 12/7/23. All IF says is they will come out for $180 and an upgraded service double that. Supervisor hasn’t returned my call for a week. Was love at first sight w/ this poor malnourished boy & now he’s gone & Invisible Fence won’t make it right. Heartbroken & worst possible time to flush money down toilet on a terrible company. Do Not Use Invisible Fence.

My dog afraid to leave the steps because of being shocked, company doesn't stand behind warranty. I called, asked for refund, they just keep sending trainers out. She will move off steps for new people but not on her own with me.

We have the Invisible Fence. Our dog stopped eating and was acting strangely. We made appts with our vet and even a dentist to figure out why she had stopped eating. She wouldn’t go near her bowls. Then we realized when there are two metal bowls close to one another they trigger the shock collar. I called Invisible Fence telling them they should warn customers not to use metal bowls. They said they would come out and investigate if I paid them $179 for a service visit or otherwise I should just take off her collar in the house. Shameful. My dog will no longer go into the kitchen. She is too afraid.

I have had my Invisible Fence system for many years. A year ago or so, they closed down the local office on Whipple Ave. in Canton Ohio. Long story short, my dog’s collar went bad. It has a lifetime warranty, which was an extra fee. I called the 800 number and was told I could pay $180 for a service call or drive an hour and ten minutes to their closest location. Drove up there based on the hours posted online only to find they were only open on Thursdays 10-4. Took a second trip up there and the representative said the collar was fine.

Two and a half week wait for emergency service call on 5 month old system. We bought the best system with free service for a year. System is down and the first tech Is not available until two and a half weeks wait for this emergency repair. Why sell free service for first year? It is not acceptable for a line break to have the system down for two and a half weeks. I would rather pay for a service call and have the system up and running in a reasonable time. I was told to use a dog leash for my three dogs… Needed to know this at the time of sale.

The concept is fine, but go with a different brand. The customer service is terrible, the price is very high and they overcharge for everything. Go with a lesser priced do-it-yourself brand. This company doesn't have good customer service at all. Don't count on their high-priced fence repair visits; they can't fit you in for three weeks. We have gotten very good at fixing it ourselves; I don't even bother trying to schedule a repair visit. I would never have chosen this brand if I knew what a complete rip-off it is.

Had a system installed in January and the ground was too cold to bury the ground wire. Install was sloppy to begin with. They never buried the ground wire. 18 months later at our request, they buried the wire that should have been done at installation. Charged us $211 to do so after we spent over $2,500 for the system, because we called them back out to finish the job. They nickel and dime their customers, techs are slobs, rude customer service. If you get their system, do not call them back for anything. Would not recommend them period.

This product for the most part works and the trainers are very knowledgeable. We had this put in prior to the snow melting and was pushed to do so to get on the schedule before they were really busy I’m starting in April. In May, someone came out to bury the line and the same day after they left I got a notification that I had a weak line which hadn’t occurred prior to burying it. The soonest anyone could come out was a month (still waiting) and now the collar beeps when my dog isn’t near the line at times and other times it doesn’t seem to be working at all. My dog mostly abides by the boundary she learned, but this is annoying at best especially after $3500. I would also add that when the initial person came out, he mentioned “oh hey there’s a line in the ground that looks like ours.” So I think the previous owner of our house probably had the same system. I didn’t inquire if my price could be negotiated at that point, but now really wish I would have.

We moved into a new house in December of 21 that already had IF installed. In Jan of 22 we had it updated and reactivated for a total of $2,088.75 that included two indoor shields and a couple training sessions. The collar has never worked. Our dog has always been able to leave the yard without problem. I called to have them come out and adjust the collar but no one ever showed up.

Installed 5 years ago and unfortunately have had nothing but issues. From being told we have a break in the line from satellite or phone digging to lightning hit it. We were told batteries was free lifetime only to find differently. Had tech come out to turn collar down and and a couple years later noticed collar was not reading with panel and requested it to be turned up a little. We have a 30 pound dog, and observed him getting shocked (corrected) within the safe zone, yard shaking like he was electrocuted, seeing the collar was turned up too high. Eventually they closed our local office and to even speak with a technician. You had to meet them in the Target parking lot which I attempted twice and no one showed from Invisible Fence. No apologies for a no show.

Almost three weeks ago I booked an appointment for 4/18, on 4/17 they called saying they had to change my appointment to 4/21. She the technician arrived, he informed me that the customer service rep I booked the appointment with didn’t book the appointment for the appropriate amount of time. He informed me that he had other customers to service and that he could not do ANY of the work. And that the soonest anyone could return to do the work was in 4 days. Problem being is that I am paying $125 a day to board my dogs wherein I had already informed them if this placenta they delayed the original appointment. They didn’t have a care in the world that they messed up not once but twice.

This is, without a doubt, the most AWFUL business I've ever encountered! Here's my experience with them... The fence was installed less than three years ago and when I recently realized it wasn't working, I called them. I was told - to my astonishment – that it's a $159.00 fee for a technician to come to the house. So, with great frustration, (and since I had no choice), I agreed and let them come. The technician came and within 5 mins figured out what the problem was (the power source, inside the house had its wires crossed and it took about a minute to fix), but then, he went outside and started digging... I thought it was bizarre and had no idea what he was doing.

The product works nicely if trainer sets and adjusts collar strength according to dog activity. Unfortunately, the trainer will refuse to take owner knowledge into consideration and, instead, makes OR DOESN'T make adjustments based on a short visit and no consideration of dog activity. Even though we have a herding dog who escapes the trainer refuses to increase strength. Additionally, IF charges $179 per visit with no guarantee. We have never hired a company that refuses to provide customers with options, refuses to take customer information into consideration and provides no guarantee on their service. Zero customer service. Horrible company.

Stay away from this company! Expensive, absolutely terrible installation. They didn’t even bury the lines in parts of our yard. Lazy, incompetent and overpriced. They even manage to over charge you on the batteries. Just choose another provider.

We just moved into a new house that already had the wires for Invisible Fence installed. So obviously we chose to go with them. We spent 3000 for their new smart system with the app. At first, the collars worked fine but the app was literally useless. No notifications except low batteries. It was an extra 1k for the smart system... Called and they couldn't have anyone out for over 3 weeks!!! Tech came and installed a firmware update (I should be able to do this simply through the app) and all seemed good from there. A few weeks later one of our dogs set a collar off and after that the collar stopped working and constantly just says the dog is outside the fence.

Do not trust that these service folks know how to bury the wire. Mine came up less than a year after they buried it. I have no erosion in my yard. There is no way they buried it even an inch into the ground. They wanted to charge me to come out and bury it again. I will never buy anything from these thieves again.

Corporate Invisible Fence decided to combine the Central Ohio offices. For some reason we no office open in this area after they made that decision. The east office was about 20 minutes away. I now have to drive 1 hour each way to the next nearest office to have the collar settings changed. You can have someone sent to the office however they are a month out. I contacted the corporate office and they felt this was all acceptable.

I owned an invisible fence when we lived in Knoxville, TN. From time to time, as with any electrical appliance, it would go out. The services we had there were phenomenal about responding to our needs and helping us resolve any issues that we had. So I expected the same when I installed an invisible fence in Chattanooga/Signal Mountain TN. They were very prompt in installing the fence, and overall I did not have any issues until very recently. Then I experienced my dogs traversing the fence. I realized it was not working and called for assistance.

Installed Invisible Fence dog door. Paid $800.00 plus for this door. Not including installation. Light and cold air comes in all around the door. The plastic tabs to close the door are not strong at all. Very cheap design and poor quality! Very disappointed in this product. Not worth $800.00 or even $100.00.

We obtained the Invisible Fence almost four years ago, and in that time, we've been pleased. However, in the last few weeks, the customer service has gone downhill. The representatives are friendly and nice enough, but a complete 180 from a year prior. In 2020, we rescued a new pup after my other one passed away. IF came out within a few weeks, laid the flags, and trained her on the new system (5 minutes) and then came back a week later to turn the shock on (again, 5 minutes).

Beware. The company charges $105 dollars to drive out to your house to fix the problem. Then you can pay for labor and materials. After paying for installation and the batteries, every three months, which aren't inexpensive I feel like this is just money gouging on their part. You are stuck having them come out to fix the problem so you have to pay this driving fee. I wish I had put in a true fence. If I move again I will not do an Invisible Fence.

When I say it "Doesn't work", what I mean is that it usually works. We have followed all the instructions offered to us by the company, but every 2-4 weeks, one of my dogs decides that it's no big deal and they just walk past it. Several times I've walked around the neighborhood yelling my dog's name trying to get them to come back. It's only a matter of time before one of them gets struck by a car, gets stolen, or just never comes back. I'm into this setup for over 4000 USD now and still chasing my dogs around the neighborhood. So it works most of the time. Which is to say, it doesn't work.

I have had a terrible experience with this company. Our golden has had prior experience with underground fences and is easily trained. We recently moved and tried the official Invisible Fence. Initial training was poor and frightened her and she wouldn’t go past 5 ft of the house for months. When she finally did, shortly after a year, the collar stopped working and our pup would wander away without correction. We called for assistance and were told we would need a $90 service fee despite the significant expense it took to install. They continued to tell us about their lifetime warranty yet wouldn’t come assist without additional payment. I accidentally called a competitor first for assistance and they agreed to send a rep out immediately. Once I realized it was actually the invisible fence and called them instead - crickets.. My wife and I take turns standing outside in negative degree Midwest weather. Do yourself a favor, stay away from this brand..

I paid for a fence. Took a long trip to the office for my second dog. They didn't like it because I couldn't give them 400+ dollars to let them train him. I trained him myself. They wouldn't turn the fence up high enough so he couldn't escape without me giving them 140+ dollars more. Lady said it was their protocol. I didn't have the extra money with this being the pandemic and work hours short etc. I just feel like they really didn't care and greed was in front of them caring.

The GPS collar takes time to connect with the satellite. This could be anywhere from 2 minutes to 10 minutes. Our first collar took 15 minutes to connect. They came and replaced it. This one takes 2-10. But when the dog is in the garage under our STEEL ROOF it disconnects with the GPS so every time he comes out of the garage it takes 2-10 minutes. That would be enough time to run across the road and get hit by a car. Not happy with the disconnecting signal. This cost a lot of money for the inability to work all the time. So if you have a steel roof this isn’t for you. They don’t tell you that thou.

The invisible fence itself works well. Our dogs stay where they are supposed to be without issue. The problem is that once we agreed to the install it's been sell, sell, sell. They also left out some pretty important information. The system was installed and worked great until I edged my grass. What you aren't told is that the wire will only be buried 1" deep. If you don't care for your lawn then no problem but no more edging, aerating or putting anything sharp in the ground more than 3/4". Some of ours isn't even under the beauty bark of the planter it runs through. Don't worry though, they would be happy to send someone out to fix it.

I purchased the system at full price. They assured me the dog would not get through...yet she did numerous times. The employees are not trainers although they charge about $100 extra claiming that they are. Now I need for the system that I already purchased to be rewired. They want to charge me twice what I originally paid while also advertising half price installation for new customers. Ok. I have a new pup that I want to keep in. My other dog who has passed kept running through it. The owner told me they charge $25 per 15 min. $100 an hour? And I am an existing customer who bought their weak system already. For $100 hr I’m not sure why we all aren’t getting into this business. No real dog training and certainly no brain surgeons. Run a wire continuous stream. Imagine how good we all will live to make $100 an hr doing this.

We recently purchased a home with an invisible fence so when we adopted our rescue dog we were excited that we would be able to let her run and play in our yard. A representative came out for a consultation. He took our money and said a trainer/tech would come out to check functionality, put training flags out and train dog. When we didn’t hear back, we contacted Invisible Fence yet they had no record of the rep coming out. They were in process of sending another rep out for a consult?? Eventually a tech came out. We have no complaints about the tech/trainer. He was pleasant and professional. However, we were told someone would come back within a week to do a second session. We had given the trainer more money because we needed to buy a new collar (expensive). We never received an email confirmation or call letting us know when the tech/trainer would come back.

Training lasted lasted just a few minutes. Walked dog around perimeter. Local dealer went out of business. Adopted another rescue dog. Told by 800# that a new color would cost 400.00. How greedy and shameful.

We have 7 acres so we initially tried the GPS system, no matter what we tried, training, tweaking the accuracy and strength. We could not get results with our dog. Very frustrating for us and the technicians trying to help us. We then tried to scale down and switch to wired system. Again we could not contain our dog. Multiple training visits left us frustrated. I now have a very expensive wire on my property, the good news that in one month, I will have paid off ($220 a month for a year) the useless system. Do your research before you buy, and if I could do it all again, I would not choose Invisible Fence.

I just submitted a review of the Invisible Fence Indoor Shield Plus Transmitter. Moments later my local rep from Invisible Fence called back and said she had gotten approval to replace my two Indoor Shield Plus Transmitters for $99 each plus tax and shipping. I appreciate this offer and think this should be disclosed with the initial product purchase and offered to all purchasers.

Purchased 2 GPS collars for my dogs in April 19. The price was $4700. The market area that is 2 miles away from my home sells for $3200. I think the price is quite ridiculous. Owner said cost is due to them having to train the dogs for 2 or 3 days. He would be lucky if he was here for 4 hrs total with installation of gps unit in my garage. The warranty on the batteries is not up to par based on what the original price is. Product seems to work good just not worth the price. Invisible Fence of Central Iowa.

We have had Invisible Fence for nearly four years. We were satisfied for the most part until our dog who was peacefully sleeping inside the house woke up abruptly squealing for nearly 30 seconds before we realized it was his collar that was shocking him when it was not supposed to. When I took it off I was shocked by the collar and I set it down on the table. My husband picked it up and he was also shocked. Needless to say, we did not put the collars back on. I called customer service and was told that I could either pay $110 to have a technician come and look and see if there was a problem, and then they could change the frequency of the receiver as it might have been triggered by an outside line.

My electronic fence was great for years and kept my dog safe until a tree came down on the neutral wire broke it. The do it yourself repair kit (which I had to inquire) cost $8.50 vs. $149.00 diagnostic visit from employees. We fixed the fence ourselves and then the collar stopped sending an electrical charge, it beeped but no correction charge. They control the 'level' of charge going to the collars, you cannot change or check the correction level yourself.

Our fence has worked well and we were pleased with the installation and trainer. All was well until our dog’s collar device fell off the collar. I contacted customer service to enact the warranty. They explained that because we couldn’t find the device we would have to pay $400.00 for a new one, as the warranty did not apply to lost collars. I explained that we didn’t lose the collar. Our dog was still wearing it. The device had fallen off.

The system cost $3500 and is not reliable. The collars fail regularly. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. The technician doesn't have an answer for that. The boundaries are variable as well. We also had the system at a secondary location. Our dog got corrected when she was where she was supposed to be. Fortunately we were with her when it happened and quickly took off the collar. I know there are some issues with in ground systems as well but you aren't spending $3500.

Ultimately the company sent me a refund for the cost of the door. Thank you to them for that.

With Invisible Fence, we've trained 4 dogs over the years on one acreage property. Now the whole office team, especially Jonas **, have helped us set up a new system in a smaller neighborhood yard. He came out and in 5 minutes solved a problem with our new system/old collar that gave our dog outside freedom again. No better customer service out there!

I've had the invisible fence for approximately 3 yrs. I enjoy knowing my pets are safe in their yard. Before committing I wish I had known that if something goes wrong, it takes weeks to get service. Therefore leaving my pets unsafe and a great inconvenience for all of us.

We do love our fence and feel that it works great and keeps our dogs on our property. My problem with them is once it's installed and they made the sale that is the END of their customer service. EVERYTHING costs money. And not a little bit, a LOT. They aren't too concerned about your satisfaction after you spent $2000 on the fence so do not expect anything beyond the install. I mean EVERYTHING costs. They really nickel and dime you. Just a warning.

We installed the Boundary Plus on 9/11/2018. Since then we've had to have 3 installation appointments (they couldn't get a walkway completed correctly) & three additional wire break problems for a back wooded area where the line can't be installed in ground and is being broken by a small animal (rabbit, squirrel etc). Each time a wire break has occurred, the system has been down for 3-5 days, we have been charged $150-$200 per visit and there has been a discussion about how this could happen/how a permanent solution can be found.

Had the fence put in and the line kept breaking on its own??? Technician would come out run right up to the "break" and repair it. $$80. Manager/owner came out on my last dealing with the company and brought 6 employees with him to find our break. Got a bill from them charging me for their hourly rate. 3 hours at $12 an hour times 6. What the hell is going on at this company. Don't they know that word of mouth can make or break your business???

Corey and Grant arrived punctually. Corey explained in simple, easy to understand, terms the nature of how to find and repair the underground break in the fence loop. He provided important information to understand just why fence owners often fail to properly fix their own fence when they try. Grant and Corey very quickly located, repaired and tested the fence loop. They were very personable and efficient representatives of Invisible Fence. We couldn't ask for better service -- they were great!

Invisible Fence is a high quality company and very easy to do business with. They will walk you through the entire process of how your fence will operate, be installed, and offer training and tips to familiarize your pet with his new boundaries. The service that I received was professional, the installation was done neatly and did not tear up my lawn, they did a fine job. Installing the fence was easy for me due to the fact that I called a professional to do the work that is subcontracted through Invisible Fence. Would recommend highly.

I love how the price isn't outrageous. You get everything that you need to install it. I was a little worried while shopping for a electric fence because I didn't know what it would take, how long it would take, how hard it would be, but it was easy for me and my husband to install. It took me and my husband no time at all to get it up and running. It works well with keeping my dogs in the yard! It works perfectly for us and our family, too.

I like that Invisible Fence protects my dogs from running into the street, which they would inevitably do no matter how well trained because sometimes they get over-excited and forget. They know now not to even approach the street because they know the Invisible Fence is there. However, I worry it will hurt my dog, and while it is good they are afraid of the street I feel bad that they're a little afraid of the perimeter because of the shock. Nevertheless, it's effective at keeping our dogs from leaving our yard without us because they know the fence is there if they try to leave and will get an uncomfortable shock. They were easily trained to avoid the shock and thus running away out of the yard. At this point we don't even worry about our dogs going out.

The fence was very well designed because the dog did not ever break the barrier and was trained well to stay within the boundary. The installation was very easy and the product was very easy to implement and use. The dog cannot see the fence, only feel the effects of crossing over the boundary.

I like that my dog is free to roam the yard as they please and is not tethered to a stake in the ground. I also feel safe knowing they won't run out into the street. It was very easy to set up. It is highly effective for anyone that uses it. I would recommend this to anyone who wants their pet to have total freedom, while still being safe.

I really liked the Invisible Fence. It has a wide variety of features that make it easy for me to keep my pup safe. Most importantly I would have to say was that it was very easy to install. The setup instruction were a little confusing to grasp at first. However, as soon as I figured it out it only took me a few hours to get it all set up. I was able to do it all on my own. No heavy lifting or stress involved. Was able to get it done within the matter of a day so I could let my dog out without worry. It is definitely effective. I have been using it for several months now without any trouble.

I like how reliable it is and it was very affordable. The ease of use was so nice for your average dog owner. It was so nice to just walk our dogs around the fenced area to let them know where they can and cannot go and they understood very quickly the shock was not harmful and I loved that the level could be adjusted to higher or lower levels of shocks and easy to install. There were times when the fence would not work but our dogs got so used to the fence and collar it did not matter much to my dogs. I would like it if more than one collar came with a fence and it did not cost so much to buy another one that would make it a lot more convenient for those who have multiple dogs and if you could find replacement batteries at more stores that would be very helpful to your average customer. Other than that, I loved the fence and it worked great for our family dogs. I would definitely recommend this to other fellow dog owners.

I like the feature that keeps my dog safe and in my yard away from predators and potential traffic. While giving me the peace of mind that my dog will be waiting for me when I get home. I would like to widen the range a little bit, I've got a big yard and would like for the dog to be able to run around a little bit more than he is currently able to. It was very easy to install and to use. I would highly recommend this product to anyone that has a dog that likes to run around and potentially get into trouble.

The best feature I like is that there are no physical fences/barriers that can be seen and the system seems to work very well, and it's easy to use. Installing the fence didn't take as long as I thought, it was neat and clean looking and the sales rep showed me how it works and how to maintain it. The only feature I really don't like is the shock collar, if the dog get too close to the invisible fence then I can hear her.

I like everything about my invisible fence. I had the invisible fence installed in my yard by the company and it was very easy and quick to install. They didn't have any problems installing the fence and they did it within one working day so that was efficient. I'm very satisfied with the features and the benefits. I like that it is a invisible barrier that keeps my dog contained so it isn't running wild and I don't have to worry about where it is, if it is biting someone, or if it is lost and get back home. Overall it gives me a huge peace of mind.

I like that it's safe, effective and from a trusted brand. I know many others who also have an Invisible Fence for their dogs and they love it, which made me decide to get one for my dogs. I have never had a problem with the dogs getting out of the years with it. I think it's a good product as is so I wouldn't change anything about the Invisible Fence. I like how you can customize what area you want your dogs to have access to and there's not one standard length--it just depends on how large of an area you would like it to cover.

It was effective. Install was easy and the training for the dogs was easy. It worked well and kept the dogs inside the yard. They were happy. My two dogs enjoyed freedom while being very safe. We liked it and would recommend the fence. The technician was good and knew what to do. But a better battery is needed. Maybe one that is rechargeable. Better indication that the battery is low. Maybe a wifi connection with battery low message would be helpful. My dogs got out once because of a dead battery. It is an issue that may have been addressed since we had the system. We moved to a new house and no longer use the system.

The electric fence was very easy to install yourself. We installed it in one day. It is very easy to maintain, and the collars are comfortable on the dogs. I would like to see the company of Invisible Fence, find a battery to use in the device that lasts longer put on the collar. The batteries for the fence are more expensive and when you have multiple dogs like I do, it can add up in price because the price range is higher. I understand if the battery was stronger and lasted longer then the price would be higher, but we wouldn't have to buy the batteries so much so it would be a lot easier financially.

At first, I loved the fence. It is effective and was very simple to use. It was great for our smaller dog. We had no problems with our Cocker Spaniel. But it only lasted a few years. It shorted out in the line and we couldn't find where it was broken. I would recommend it for smaller dogs but not very big dogs, especially ones that are strong-willed. We have a two hundred lb Rottweiler, and after a while, he would run right through it. It needs to be made more durable and a little stronger for big dogs. It was a pain to install yourself in a big yard. I would personally get a professional to install if I did it again. But it has been so long since we had it, that I am sure they have improved it!

We like the ability to add extra collars for new dogs. It's much easier than using a physical fence and gate for the property when it comes to us being able to leave in our vehicles without having to worry about a gate being closed. However, the collar piece didn't hold up well. Our dogs are very active and playful. They have broken the collars a few times but at least it was easy to replace them. It seemed easy for my husband and sons. They had it done in a weekend which was great for us. The instructions were easy to follow and simple to use.

It's stupid. Don't work. Poor dog can't play. Sad. He is a big dog. We have watch him and everything. The dog got out. Still does. Waste money. We won't do this again. We had someone set it up. They don't know what they doing. The dog didn't get shocked at all. Who knows how many people got ripped off like this. Now hope to find something that works soon.

I like the range of area it covers, the fact that it keeps my dog from getting out of areas where she shouldn't be roaming including in the street and other people's yards. I also like the fact that once she learns her boundaries I can take the collar off and trust that she will stay within those boundaries by memory. I would like it to have other humane features, be a bit cheaper and not have to buy extra parts and pieces. I think that a big Improvement would be to add a vibration mode and or a sound mode instead of just an electric shock. It's also hard and time-consuming to install. I had to have somebody else help me install it. It took me a couple times to get it right and finally I got the fence up successfully after about 10 hours of work. But it's easy to use.

I liked the fact that it was a fence that kept my dog in the yard but there wasn't actually a fence there. My dogs love running to people when they walk past and my 80 and 50 lb dog can be a little scary running full speed. So this way I could leave them in the yard and not worry about them. However, my biggest problem is the actual base of this fence has to be in the center of everything and if you have a longer house than wide it makes it very difficult to set up the perimeter of the fence. But I think it is pretty easy to set up and use. You have to set the collar with the box. Then ace the box in the middle of the perimeter then you put the collar on your dog. Make sure to walk your dog around the perimeter so he or she knows where they can go.

Simple application when it came to installing the barrier where I wanted the "Invisible Fence" to go to an end. I like the collar that goes around my dog's neck, it's a good fit and isn't too heavy and doesn't seem to cause any or much discomfort to my dog. The Invisible Fence really did everything that I needed and expected that it would do. I needed something to keep my dog in the yard and I did not want to put up an actual fence. This worked perfectly and my dog responds to it very well. It's easy to use and the yard still looks great. It really is a do it yourself installation which is fast and no need to call or have someone else come do it for you. The instructions were very straightforward and with basic common sense anyone could figure it out.

It works great, easy to use, dog is happy with it. Thank so much for a great product. No tragic the dog or anything. The dog was able to use it right away. The price was great, easy to teach the dog. Was easy to set up and dog got used to it right away.

I liked training with a beep before shocking the dogs. They really didnt get shocked very often but still stayed in the yard, I'm sure others dogs would learn quickly also with owners taking the time with them. A long leash was provided to train the boundaries. We were set up on automatic battery replacement so it's one less thing to remember. The expense and at that time the collars were quite large for a smaller dog and it was pricey to purchase the smaller collar when they came out. Nothing is inexpensive. We didnt do the installation ourselves, that was part of the purchase. The training process was fairly simple, yes it was effective for us. You just need to know what boundaries you want and then take the time to work with your pets. I would install at a different location if I moved.

I like that it's underground and can't be seen. I also like that there's no visible wires sticking out. Or any form of an object that can be tripped over. It's very simple to use. I don't like that the prongs from the collar have an issue reaching the dogs sling through thick fur. It's a hassle to have to put lotion on the dogs. It was very easy to install the fence in the yard an it was also easy to train the dogs of where it was and what would happen if they went into the area of the fence. They helped train us as to show the dogs where the fence was and how to reprimand them if they went through the fence. They also showed us how to get them out of the fence if they went through it.

This dog fence worked well for the most part and mostly kept my dog in the yard except for the two times he ran through and escaped. Maybe because he was such a large dog. Dog in the yard most of the time except for when he ran out into the street. I don't think this product is effective and therefore would not recommend it to people I know. The fence should be stronger and more accurate instead of just a certain radius. Until these bugs are fixed I wouldn't recommend.

It's very easy to use and it's easy to install but very time consuming. The installation process is the most hands on experience with the whole thing. You have to measure and then bury the wire. And it takes a long time to hide the wires beneath the ground. Once the ground work is laid it is easy peasy lemon squeezy from there and they give you a well planned out guide on how to do it all which is great. After that, it's as easy as putting the collar on your dog and turning it on.

Invisible Fence is an affordable solution for us at under $300. The system we purchased was one inside plug-in unit that emitted a perimeter signal. Place your perimeter flags in the yard and plug your base in and out the collar on your pet. Walk him to each perimeter and let the unit issue the warning. Easy and very effective. Also this version didn't require us to dig trenches and bury wires -- it was basically plug and play. There's collar correction so that dog must return to the yard for the shock to stop although I would like to be able to link more than one collar to the base unit so that all of my dogs were on the system at the same time. Loved too that we could take it with us even on evacuations. The number one feature for us was portability.

Invisible Fence has a nice range and nice features that allow for maximum safety of your dog in most situations barring something unexpected didn't happen. It served its purpose well for me. But it could be more user-friendly and easier to install. Overall it could be a tad bit cheaper for what the product is. It was rather expensive and hard to gauge the range I had to set the Invisible Fence up at. It was hard to figure some of the features out however and measure the radius on which I had to set it up to get the maximum use of the product. But I would definitely use again.

Invisible fence helps keep my dogs on my property without installing a fence. Friends had it installed and I saw how it worked for them before I purchased mine. I did not wish to install a fence. If I installed a fence, it would spoil my view. It would also be an added expense and would also involve upkeep of the fence. I did not to buy a fence and stain or paint it. It is relatively easy to install. It was installed quickly and was completed in less than a day.
