The Negative Reviews
We’ve found that some customers encounter minor issue with the receiver collar. They mentioned that the collar didn’t work as it’s supposed to, but you can try to contact the customer support to get further information. Most of the time, this is because some metallic object undergrounds that interfere with the radio signal, it can be solved by adjusting the transmitter power. Also, if you live in an old house like pre 60’s, usually there’s a metal lath in the walls, thus preventing this containment system to work well.

All in all, we highly recommend PetSafe Wireless Pet Containment System (PIF-300), unless you live in old house or building which usually has metal lath inside the walls, because it will prevent this device to work perfectly. This device is a great containment system especially when you have just moved from old environment where your dog can run freely anywhere to new one where you just have to keep your dog near the house.
