How much yard does the included wire cover?

The 500 ft of wire encloses about a third of an acre. You can buy more wire to expand up to 25 acres.

Yes. The kit includes one receiver collar, and you buy additional collars so every pet can use the same boundary.

Does it work for a deaf dog?

The collar has a tone-plus-vibration mode for dogs with trouble hearing. Static correction is also available in four levels.

How long does training take?

PetSafe says most dogs learn the boundary in about two weeks with consistent training.

Can the fence follow an irregular yard shape?

Yes. The wire is laid out to match your yard's shape and size rather than a fixed rectangle.

About the PetSafe Stubborn Dog In-Ground Fence for Hard-To-Train Pets

The PetSafe Stubborn Dog In-Ground Fence is a custom-shaped containment system for persistent dogs. You lay the wire to match your yard's shape and size. Installation is a do-it-yourself weekend project.

The kit includes 500 ft of wire, which covers a 1/3-acre yard. You can add more wire to cover up to 25 acres. It also includes one receiver collar with a tone plus vibration mode and 4 levels of static correction. You can adjust the correction based on how your dog responds during training.

The vibration mode suits pets who have trouble hearing. An automatic safety shut-off stops static correction if a pet stays in the correction zone for 30 seconds. With training, a dog can learn the play area in about 2 weeks. Additional receiver collars let you contain more than one pet, with no limit on the number of pets.
