Containment System

Molly had started chasing cars on our road and  I was concerned for her safety, and really dislike that habit in dogs... then Carl wandered off to the neighbors the other day - so we decided to go ahead and try out a wireless containment system.  It is working great!

The base unit just plugs into a wall and sends a signal out in a radius.  The area it covered is perfect for our needs.  Molly can go half way up the drive and into the woods a bit to each side, then all the way over the whole back yard.  Our house is the center of the radius and it also covers the gardens and chicken house.  She learns very fast and I think soon I can put the collar down to only beep a signal, not needing to shock and then eventually remove the collar and use it to train Carl (when he's a little bigger).

I am happy with the way it has worked this week and thrilled that our dogs can be easily trained to stay in the yard for their safety and ours.  The best part, it was SUPER easy for the kids and I to set up, took only about an hour to lay out the flags at the boundary.  :-)

The system we got was a PetSafe Containment System.
