There are different fences for different applications. For example, you can get an indoor wireless fence and you can get an outdoor wireless fence. Your first option must be the simplest, and that is to choose whether you want an indoor PetSafe fence or an outdoor. If you want an outdoor fence, then you have a couple more things to consider.
There are three outdoor PetSafe Fence products; stubborn dog, deluxe and the standard model. All 3 are designed explicitly to fulfill certain requirements. We will now evaluate them individually.
Independently Minded Dog
Only dogs who are difficult to train or have a high pain threshold need this collar. However, it is not for small dogs as the dog has to weigh at least twenty lbs. It is one of the most powerful fences on the market. The standard kit allows you create a fence which will contain a dog within an area of 1/3 of an acre. You can buy additional wire and extend this up to 10 acres.
Deluxe Collar
This PetSafe fence is suitable for most dogs. This fence will cover the largest area of land. You can fence off up to twenty five acres, which is way more than both the other fences. To use this fence your dog does not have to weigh as much as the stubborn dog fence, but your dog has to weigh over 8 pounds.
PetSafe Standard Fence
The PetSafe standard fence has the smallest collar and has been designed for the smallest dog, in fact, it is so small it can be used for cats as well! It is so small you can use it on pets which weigh 5lbs upwards. The collar only weighs 1.2 oz. This PetSafe fence can contain an area the same size as the stubborn fence but much less than the 25 acres for the deluxe model, hence the containment area is only 10 acres. However, that is more than ample for most back yards.
The Wireless Fence
A wireless fence can throw up a boundary up to 180 ft in diameter from where the transmitter is located. To make the containment area larger than 180 feet, you can buy additional transmitters. We love the wireless fence because it is so simple to set up. The downside is that you are not as flexible with your boundaries as you are with the underground fence.
