How large an area does it cover?

It creates a circular boundary adjustable up to 3/4 acre in diameter. The shape is fixed as a circle, so it may not fit rectangular yards without overlap.

Can I use it for more than one dog?

Yes, you can add extra receiver collars for additional dogs. Each collar needs its own settings and training.

Does it work without burying wire?

Yes, the transmitter plugs in indoors and communicates wirelessly with the collar. No wire is buried.

Is the collar waterproof?

The receiver collar is water-resistant, not fully waterproof. It should be removed before swimming or bathing.

How long does the collar battery last?

The rechargeable battery typically lasts several days to a week, depending on use. Recharging takes a few hours.

Will it work for a small dog?

The collar fits neck sizes from 6 to 23 inches and is suitable for dogs weighing 5 pounds or more. Very small dogs may find the collar bulky.
