walmart wireless dog fence

For wireless or portable installations, the Havahart Radial-Shape Wireless is the best of the three wireless dog fence options. Wireless systems like the Havahart Wireless, PetSafe PIF-300, and Perimeter Technologies WiFi project a circular boundary wirelessly and therefore do not require boundary wire. That makes these systems extremely convenient to set up. However, you do pay for that convenience with a relative drop in performance compared to the best in-ground wired systems. Wireless systems (particularly the PetSafe and Perimeter models) have trouble getting through physical barriers between them and the dog such as walls, trees, slopes, etc. The bound

The main drawback of this system is the collar is one of the biggest, and how should I put this … lacking in subtlety.

Built by the hunting dog company, SportDog, this system is one of the toughest and most durable systems, with particularly excellent waterproofing. The system also comes with 1,000 feet of boundary wire twice as much as you get standard with most systems.

For very large yards (over 25 acres), the SportDog SDF-100 is our recommendation. The SDF-100 has a range of up to 100 acres, unlike most regular strength systems which have a maximum range of 5-25 acres. So if you intend to have a boundary over 25 acres, used the SportDog SDF-100.

The main disadvantage of the PetSafe Little Dog is that it uses a proprietary PetSafe battery. The battery costs around $10 and only lasts 2-3 months. But, if your dog is less than 10 lbs this is still the only good choice.

The PetSafe Little Dog is also compatible with PetSafe Stubborn and PetSafe Deluxe in-ground dog fence collars. So you can use a full size, full strength collar such as the PetSafe Stubborn, or PetSafe Deluxe to contain other dogs using the same system.

For small dogs, (under 10lbs) the Petsafe Little Dog is the way to go. The collars on regular dog fence systems are too big to be comfortable on a small dog. The PetSafe Little Dog has the smallest lightest collar, and reduced correction levels making it the best choice for very small dogs.

The EF-6000 is best for dogs over 12lbs. The weakness of the EF-6000 is that it cannot be used for large containment areas over 5 acres.

The system has eight levels of correction, ranging from the mild to the very strong to suit nearly all dogs. We like the long-lasting rechargeable collar battery, and lightweight collar. And the digital transmitter has the unique feature of allowing you to adjust the correction and boundary distances.

For most installations we recommend the Dogtek EF-6000. It is a next generation fence, with a good mix of value and features. We use the Dogtek EF-6000 with most of our installation customers and it is by far the most popular system in our online store.
