I purchased this item to deal with a neighbor's 2 small mixed breed dogs that bark at everything. It stops one of them quickly and sends him off running to the other side of his house. The other dog will still bark intermittently. It's worth the price in my case.

This has been a wonderful purchase - we live very close to a heavily-traveled road and prior to buying this, we found our dog chasing squirrels into that road.
Since then, our dog knows her boundaries (and figured them out almost immediately) and we have not had any such scares.

My husband and I love our wireless fence and collar. It's been about two months since we installed everything, and the batteries are still going fine. My only complaint would be the size of the transmitter on the collar. It's quite large. Our dogs are medium-sized at 30 pounds, and at first it was awkward. I think they're used to it now, though, and they look forward to wearing the collar!

Thanks W. Jiang for the idea! My husband just replaced the inner battery of this Petsafe RFA-188 battery with a Duracell 1/3N battery found in our small town local hardware store for $4.00! He said he broke off the seal holding the old 1/3N battery and popped in the new one without tape or glue. We love the Petsafe Little Dog Receiver but after reading all the reviews about how fast the batteries died, I was a little concerned. We turn the batteries (2 dog collars) off at night and back on during the day and the first collar lasted about 2 months. Replacing the battery every 2 months at $4.00 a pop is, in my opinion, no big deal. What freedom for us and our 2 dogs!

Bought this thing a few weeks ago. It is a big disappointment, and I will return it!
My dog runs away with the collar on, and I even put this as high as 7 out of 9 and no reaction whatsoever. It is as if my dog was wearing absoultely nothing. Save yourself the $190 and pass on this lemon!

Hey, I actually like this thing. Since I started using it my dog has apparently stayed out of the living room it was meant to guard. And despite what I've read in other reviews, I found the batteries in both the collar and the disk seem to last forever.
My only reservation with this device is that "12' diameter" range. Potential buyers need to understand two things: 1. That that means only SIX feet away from the device (yes folks, a 12' diameter is only a 6' radius!) and 2. That range is exaggerated. In my tests, the warning beeps didn't begin until I was well within 6' from the device, perhaps as little as 4', and that was with fresh batteries.
However, I will say that I accidentally zapped myself once. And boy was THAT annoying! ... Read More:

If you want to stand next to the dog to give corrections; then this trainer is for you. If, however, you wish to correct behaviors from a distance greater than 5' then you might want to research another unit. I will say this positive. When the transmitter and receiver do communicate, this is an excellent training tool.

After a couple of escape attemps, my very stubborn Boxer decided that it wasn't worth "correction" and now respects his boundries. Other systems were not powerful enoungh but this one seems to have done the trick- I hope!

This product worked really well for about 1 month. We have two 7 month German Shepard/ Chow mix one of the dogs chased a cat and ran straight though the invisible fence. Bad news for the Cat..... We now have the Stubborn dog collar on him now. We will see how that will work for him now.
But if you have a low energy dog. It works Great... His brother never goes by the invisible fence. He does really well with this collar.
