provides the safest, simplest form of pet containment ever. You plug in a transmitter somewhere inconspicuously in your home, and it emits a radio signal around your house. Your pet wears a lightweight receiver collar which listens for the signal. While it's receiving the signal, your dog is free to run and play. When the collar approaches the boundary of the signal area, it gives your dog a warning beep.
If your dog continues, he receives a light static energy pulse which is startling but not harmful. With a little training that is simple and quick, your pet quickly learns his boundaries. Setting the boundaries of your yard takes only a few minutes by adjusting the range on the transmitter, from a radius of just a few feet to up to 90 feet.

Today we're looking at the PetSafe PIF-300 wireless fence. This is one of the few wireless fences on the market today. It is radio signal based. What that means is unlike a wired fence, you don't actually have to bury anything in your yard. You have this system right here which you put inside your house, and it sends out a radio signal that allows the dog to go up to 90 feet away from the transmitter.
So you've got a circular area that is your containment area for the dog. These are great systems for folks that don't want to have the hassle of having to bury wire. For the folks that understand what this system does and what its limitations are, it's real popular.
The thing you've got to understand is that it's not going to fit your yard exactly. It has a set radius. And either it works for your yard or it doesn't. So you've got to understand the concept behind it.
I used these several years ago in a house that we lived at that had a backyard but it didn't have a fence in the front yard. I wanted my dogs to have access to the front yard. So what we did was we set up a wireless fence. This allowed them to run out in the front yard but not get in the road. It worked great because of the size of my front yard.
So the biggest thing you've got to look at is the shape of your yard, how close you are to the road, and whether or not it's going to fit what you are trying to do.
Figure out where you can plug this up. It's got to be protected from the weather. So we're going to set this unit inside the house or the garage, and then we're going to go away 90 feet from that and see where that puts us.
So you've got to experiment with it a little bit, test it. What's nice about it is it's an easy system to set up. You can have it up and running in just a few minutes. And you can figure out if it fits you really well. And if it doesn't, then you may want to look at a wired system.
We've had these on the market for years. It's a great little system for folks that are looking for something that's portable and that is easy to set up.
The other nice thing about them is that the collars have individual stimulation settings. So if you have one dog that's tougher than others, you can increase stim on that dog but it won't affect the other dogs. So that's a nice little feature.
Very popular unit for us. It works great for folks that are looking for a real easy way to contain their dogs.
Offering safety and portability, the Wireless Instant Fence PIF 300 from PetSafe gives you instant installation. If you can plug in a cord, you can install Instant Fence: no unattractive poles to set up and no wires to bury. Instant Fence uses a constant radio signal to create a "stay zone". When your pet leaves the area, he receives a mild correction until he returns to the containment area or until approximately 35 seconds have passed.
Training is simple and easy. Once you have adjusted the signal to the perimeter you want, mark the boundary by placing small training flags at the edge of the signal area.
