I was very excited based on reviews with Amazon and Motorola's websites so I was very excited to be able to purchase this through Best Buy and finance it with 6 months interest free, So I DID! But, I don't know if it was because my pup is a muscular half breed of Mastiff and Pit or if there are holes in the fence or low battery (I charged it overnight as soon as I got this in the mail) but the shock was ineffective for my pup. So unfortunately I had to return this the next day... Very impressed with the reviews, disappointed in the product, hopefully mine was just a dud. I would recommend based on others review, not on my experience.

We adopted a Houdini Ratcha - he got loose no less than 6 times first week. Bought this system and set up the flags, instead of training with only the beep, I set it to "1". Within 1 hour he was outside by himself, hasn't left the yard off the leash since. He loves wandering the yard and playing without being tied up. Range is easy to set and change. Slightly closer limit in front of the garage when the cars are interfering, but it works great nonetheless. Battery life is very limited however, only recommend for short term portable use.

This item works great when used as directed. Not a 24 hr collar and has to be recharged every day.Would definitely recommend it for taking on trips and people who put their dog in every night as this is a good time to recharge collar. Has good range and I leave the main unit plugged in all the time, but works well when staked out. .

Works great in small area. Signal blocked by large objects such as vehicles. Does not cover as much space as advertised.

The wireless fence worked great for about a year then the collars would not charge. One quit working then the other soon after. If they had kept working I would recommend them but since both collars quite working that lowers my rating.
