 Don't worry about the batteries Jul 29, 2009
By Eki
Though I agree with the other reviewers that battery life is short on this collar, it is nonetheless an extraordinary system! We have 2 beagles who are escape artists and rather stubborn and this system works fantastic for them! Training was a breeze - both dogs figured it out quickly, even when we extended their area after 4 months of use. It's been now about 7 months that we have the system and couldn't be happier! We can rest assured that our pets are safe when we are away at work during the day.
For the batteries - I read about this trick. Reuse the battery casing and just remove the little battery that is inside. I get replacements online for 4 batteries including shipping for about $8. That is a sweet deal! Look for "3V Lithium Battery 2L76 CR1/3 N 1/3N" batteries - you can find them as cheap as $1.50 a piece. I simply removed the little plastic ringlet on the bottom of the casing that kept the battery in place, removed the battery, inserted the new one, and voila! Works like magic and is even easier to fit into the collar without the extra piece.
Don't let the other reviews about the batteries discourage you from using this great system. I highly recommend it.

 The Most Expensive Collar You Will Ever Buy Apr 14, 2007
By D. Toups
The collar has a great design and worked great on our small dog for about a month; however, the company placed a flashing light on the model which eats the battery in about a month. The replacement batteries are specially made by the company to fit the collar and run about $10.00. Therefore, once you buy the collar to keep the collar operating for your dog you are looking at spending about $120 a year. The company has a slightly larger collar that does not have the flashing light that we use on our other small dog. Those batteries are also specially made by the company, but the battery lasts quite some time (over a year). Although our other dog is bright and once he got popped a time or two does not come near the boundaries. I wish I would have never bought this product.

eats an $8 battery each month Nov 30, 2007
By Mike L
I've had one of these on our little dog for 3 months now and have gone through 3 batteries. The dog gets close enough to the fence to make the collar beep maybe once a week at the most, and the dog is smart so it has only been shocked a couple of times.
You've been warned.. if you buy one of these you'll most likely be spending $100/year on batteries. You can hack the little battery holder apart and put in a standard CR-1/3N battery and save about $2/month, but it's not easy cutting the battery holder apart. I'm looking for a small 3v rechargeable battery I can sneak in there.
Petsafe.. recall these.

Really works Feb 24, 2008
By C. Mason
We have a Miniature Pinscher that was an accomplished escape and evasion artist until we purchased a Petsafe Fence, and Collar.
To install the fence and collar took a day of easy work, I have a bad back and was able to do this task easily.
The instructions give a five week training period for the collar and fence to have effect. Within 10 minuets my dog was trained,and will not go near the boundary of my garden.
If you have a little dog that runs off, then this will stop them.

Poor Design - Greedy Business Model Feb 13, 2008
By G. Johnson
We have 2 small dogs and tried these collars. We were shocked to find that the batteries would only last 3-4 weeks and cost $10 each. With 2 dogs, that is over $240 a year in batteries. This week one of the collars broke and I called their customer service line. To send a replacement collar for warranty repair would cost me an $18 non refundable deposit. I gave them the choice of losing a customer or charging me $18. They chose to lose a customer. Think twice before buying these collars....
