PetSafe Stubborn Dog In-Ground Pet Fence for Hard-to-Train Pets - Great for Hearing-Impaired Dogs - Covers 1/3-Acre Yard - Expandable up to 25 Acres - from the Parent Company of Invisible Fence Brand Review

Overview

["This is a traditional buried wire fence system, covering 500 feet of wire out of the box, which PetSafe lists as roughly 1/3 acre, with the ability to expand the wire loop up to 25 acres for larger properties. It's marketed specifically for stubborn dogs and hearing-impaired dogs that may not respond consistently to milder correction levels or standard training methods.", "The kit includes a transmitter with power adapter, a receiver collar, a surge protector, training flags, and a 9-volt alkaline battery to get started, and it's backed by a limited lifetime warranty when purchased through an authorized PetSafe retailer. The receiver collar weighs 8.48 ounces, keeping it reasonably light for everyday wear during the training period.", "At $179.99, this sits toward the higher end of containment products, reflecting the expandable wire and stubborn-dog-focused design. The listing shows a 4.2 star rating but no published review count, so it's worth reading current buyer feedback directly on the product page before relying on the star rating alone."]

Performance notes

The expandable wire design, from 1/3 acre up to 25 acres, is the main functional advantage over fixed-radius wireless systems, since owners can extend the loop as needed for larger or irregularly shaped properties. Being marketed toward stubborn and hearing-impaired dogs suggests the correction levels are tuned to be more noticeable than a standard entry-level containment collar.

What buyers say

The listing shows a 4.2 star rating but no published review count, so while the score itself looks solid, there isn't enough visible feedback volume to confirm how consistent that rating is across a large group of buyers.
