The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other dog and cat food, health, gear and grooming we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.

Overview

The F850 is a perimeter containment system built around a 27 inch collar that adjusts its boundary anywhere from 25 to 999 yards, which is a wider range than most competing wireless fences offer. Correction runs through three levels, beep, vibration, and shock, so you can start mild and only escalate if your dog ignores the warning tones.

The collar carries an IPX7 waterproof rating and is backed by a 1 year manufacturer warranty. It is recommended for large, extra-large, and giant breeds rather than smaller dogs, and at $109.99 it sits in the middle of the pricing range for this type of system.

Pros

  • Adjustable radius from 25 to 999 yards covers everything from a modest yard to a large rural property
  • Three correction levels, beep, vibration, and shock, let you dial in the mildest effective setting
  • IPX7 waterproof collar holds up to weather and outdoor play
  • 1 year warranty backs the unit
  • 40 reviews averaging 4.4 stars gives a reasonable amount of real-world feedback

Cons

  • Not sized for dogs under 18 pounds
