Which Invisible Fence System Should You Get?

Invisible Fence systems utilize underground or above ground boundary wires and electronic collars to safely contain pets. Your pet responds to the stimulation through 2 contact points on the Receiver Collar that touch your pet’s neck. When your dog or other pet approaches the boundary, the collar warns him or her with a beeping alert. If the warning is ignored, a mild electronic stimulus follows the warning. Invisible Fences are a safe, effective and hidden way to contain your pet within his or her boundary so your pet can be contained to your property without having to pay the expensive cost of a traditional fence which can be unsightly. Also a dog may be able to just climb over, dig under or chew through a traditional fence.

PetSafe Deluxe Invisible Fence - The best, most advanced pet fence on the market today. This Invisible Fence features the Deluxe Ultralight Receiver with 5 levels of programmable correction and a Transmitter capable of protecting an area up to 25 acres in size. We recommend this pet fence for any dog or cat that is 5 pounds or over. With 5 levels of programmable correction and a Low Battery Indicator Light to let you know when to replace the battery, this is our most versatile and advanced receiver. You can increase or decrease the correction to meet your pet's training needs. At level 5, the Deluxe Ultralight Receiver is strong enough for most hard to train dogs.

PetSafe Stubborn Dog Invisible Fence - The best, most advanced dog fence on the market today. This Invisible Fence features the Stubborn Dog Receiver - the most powerful receiver available anywhere and a Transmitter capable of protecting an area up to 25 acres in size. We recommend the Stubborn Dog Invisible Fence if your dog is over 30 pounds and is extremely stubborn or hard to train. The Stubborn Dog Receiver has 5 levels of correction plus vibration in the warning area for an added deterrent and a Low Battery Indicator Light to let you know when to replace the battery. You can increase or decrease the correction to meet your pet's training needs. Level 5 on the Stubborn Dog Receiver is approximately 25% stronger than level 5 on our Deluxe Ultralight Receiver. Some breeds need the Stubborn Dog Receiver even though they may not necessarily be hard to train. Our experience has been that Labs, Shepherds, Akitas and similar breeds often need the Stubborn Dog Receiver. This is usually due to these breeds being less sensitive to the correction due to thick skin and/or thick fur.

PetSafe Standard Invisible Fence - The best, most advanced pet containment system on the market today. This Invisible Fence features the Standard Ultralight Receiver and a transmitter capable of protecting an area up to 25 acres in size. We recommend this pet fence if your pet is 5 pounds or over and trains very easily. The Standard Ultralight Receiver has 1 correction level, similar to level 3 on the Deluxe Ultralight Receiver.


PetSafe Invisible Fence Systems are available without boundary wire and boundary flags. You'll get the same transmitter and receivers as come with the PetSafe Invisible Fence Systems as described above and the same guidelines apply. You would order a system without boundary wire and boundary flags only if you already have boundary wire installed in your yard. If you are going to use one of our Invisible Fence systems for a pet that has never been trained on your property, you should add Boundary Flags to your order. You will need a flag every 10 feet for proper training. If you need to order a system without boundary wire and boundary flags or any system component separately, please contact us at help@acornpetco.com with any questions or for more information. Thank you.

These products come with a 110v AC Adapter. If the power requirements in your country are 220v, you will need to purchase a voltage converter.
