Guardian GPS Dog Fence, 3/4 Acre+ | No Subscription, Tone, Vibration, or Static, up to 5-Day Battery, Installs in 1 Hour, Dogs 25 lbs + with, Neck 13-28 in

I have been a pet safe user for many years. When we moved into our new house in 2021 we explored fence options and went with the wired version of the pet safe fence. It was a pain in the butt to set up and took quite a while, and we had to buy a ditch witch in order to bury the wire and had to wait for the city to come mark the land before digging, but once it was set up, it was fine and it has worked relatively well over the years. However, in the last few months to a year we’ve had several breaks in the Line, And we were finding ourselves constantly having to fix the wires. This last time was the last straw so we upgraded to this one. I will say that the technology has significantly improved in the last five years. When we looked before there was not a version like this where you could easily manually draw your yard. The products that were similar were in the form of a central point with a circle fence, and would not work for our square yard. We did not want to have to limit our pets space or risk them going into our neighbors space. I set this up in 15 to 20 minutes, and put the collars on and my dogs are ready to go. The longest part was just waiting for the product to update the firmware. Now my dogs are already trained for underground fence so we didn’t have to go through that whole process again. I do recommend people take the time to go through that process. You’ll be happier than just hoping your dog figures it out. When I first started using underground fence products in the early 2000s I did not go through the process and my dogs would run past the shock once they figured it out. Taking my time and taking the full recommended several weeks of months to ensure they are trained is 100% worth it. I have two coonhound/hunting breed dogs and they do not cross the line to chase after anything including Deers, rabbits and turkeys that are frequently in our property. This product is very high-quality in appearance and definitely worth the money. The collar is lighter weight than previous. My only feedback would be that a better battery life for the collar would be appreciated. My previous dog fence collar had well over a month of charge. This one says it’s only about three days which will be an adjustment.

I really give this ZERO stars but this makes you put at least one. It was easy enough to set up and create the boundaries. We worked on the boundaries an entire evening walking the area numerous times holding the collar to be sure we had the flags (ordered those separate) in the correct place to warn our dog before the collar would vibrate/static. The following day we started walking her numerous times on the leash with the collar on vibration only showing her the flags and then getting her to come away from them using treats once we heard the vibration to help her understand that she does not want to hear that sound. I did this multiple times a day for the next 3 days with the collar/leash. On the 4th day we turned on the static option as well, walked her a few times around the area with her leash and she did good and all was working just as it had been. That evening while we were in the basement she went out the door to potty (25 feet from where the collar usually started vibrating) and it shocked her so naturally she runs yelping to me, in the house, and it starts shocking her again before I could get it off her. I understand that this is what the system is set up to do but it should ONLY do that when she is outside of the area I set up. How are you supposed to train a dog when the system is unreliable?! I requested a refund that night and sent it back.

Best GPS fence without subscription— I have a set up at my house and one on the farm for my 2 GSPs (German Shorthairs.) Easy installation and set-up; the app walks you through it. Zero problems. Great range; give hazardous areas more clearance (e.g. do not set the boundary directly beside a road. Use common sense.) Clean appearance with an indicator light. It’s expensive, but it beats having to install an in-ground system or an actual fence. Plus, you can change the fence anytime you need to and if you move, you can take it with you. The collars have multiple levels static correction and the collar will tone when it comes close to the fence border. I remove the collars to charge overnight, so no problems with battery life. Adding a new collar is easy too if you have multiple dogs— you can create a profile for each dog. You can use standard thickness 1” biothane if you prefer a custom collar appearance (I recommend Beau&Nora for custom biothane collars and leashes!) The quality of the collar is great, just cut off the excess. Overall, you won’t find a better or more affordable option without a subscription.

Definitely works and way easier than an underground fence. My only complaint is they are a little touchy and once you cross the line you have to go back inside the “fence” pretty far to get it to stop. It does require WiFi for it to continuously work and the collar does last longer than 24 hours. For the price it’s worth the ease but it’s definitely not for small properties. It works better with larger areas to work with. Overall a pretty effective and efficient device.

Before I begin, I’d like to mention that I am a happy owner/user of the older version of this collar and it has been great in all aspects. This new redesigned version is even better. My house has an open backyard but also a relatively busy road nearby and this is one of the most important reason I use this collar. First of all, it looks and feels like an expensive high-quality device right now, I believe that the material it is made of has been changed and it is a positive change. Also, it is noticeably lighter than the old generation and I feel like smaller dogs will appreciate it. In addition, I have been actively using it for nearly 6 days so far and still have a charge which is much longer than the old generation could last. It is still good for medium to very large dog breeds and does what it is designed for effectively (you can easily adjust the collar circumference for your pet) . The fence precision is astonishing and works without gaps or lags (at least I did not notice a single one so far). The app is very intuitive and even not a savvy person will easily figure it out. Also, once I had to contact the support and received a very quick response, fully addressing my question. Lastly, I’d like to mention that PetSafe is now a well-known brand that sells in many retailers in-store. That said, it is indeed a quality and safe product. I am a fully satisfied loyal customer. Thank you!!

This is a great product. But they need to go back to the drawing board when it comes to the material used for the collars. I have two duct tape my dogs collars for them to stay. Otherwise they constantly loosen. We live by an extremely busy road where the speed limit is 55 mph. And not only do we have cars we have farm machinery going in front of our house as we live in the country. Having to duct tape, my dogs collars to ensure that they stay at an adequate tightness because it becomes a safety issue. If it is too loose is not good. In terms of the way that the system functions we have over 10 acres of land that our dogs have complete access to and we have no issues. The collars work great.

We purchased this item because we have been very satisfied with other Petsafe products we have had in the past. The description is PetSafe Guardian GPS Dog Fence - Advanced AccuGuard Technology - Wireless Virtual Fence - No Subscription Required - Waterproof Collar with Long Lasting Battery - Easy to Set Up The collar is for a very large Dog. I don't think it was presented that way.

This worked great at first and then it stopped working. We have a 1/2 acre lot and support is telling us this works best on lots 3/4 and larger. Not what the product info says. Now I have to see how too get a refund.
