Does it need buried wire?

No. You set the boundary in the app, and the collar uses GPS to know where the dog is.

Can I use it in more than one place?

Yes. It stores up to 20 fence layouts, so you can set boundaries at home, a cabin or elsewhere.

How does it correct the dog?

It gives a tone warning first, then a static correction if the dog keeps going.

Does it track the dog's location?

Yes. It reports the dog's position in the app in addition to containment.

Will it work on any dog?

It is one size, but fit and temperament matter; static correction is not right for every dog.

What limits its accuracy?

GPS reception. Trees, buildings and terrain can affect the boundary and tracking.

Our take on the PetSafe Guardian GPS Dog Fence + Tracking

The PetSafe Guardian is a GPS fence and tracking collar in one. Instead of burying wire, you draw a boundary in the app, and the collar corrects the dog with tone and static when it crosses. AccuGuard positioning is the selling point, and you can save up to 20 fence layouts for different places. It suits owners with yards that are hard to wire and dogs that need containment plus location tracking. Against wired in-ground fences it is quicker to set up and portable, but it depends on GPS reception and battery, and its 3.5-star average shows mixed owner experience.
