Perimeter Technologies Basic, Ultra & Deluxe

Pros

• Soft collar contacts
• Ultra model has independant correction levels

Cons

• Not rechargeable

The Perimeter Technologies systems have a couple of neat features unique to Perimeter.  But, glaringly they lack a rechargeable collar battery.

Perimeter Technologies is the child of a group of ex-Invisible Fence engineers and executives.  Perimeter has built three interesting features into all it’s inground systems.

The Perimeter dog fence “comfort contacts” are softer, rubber like contacts for the dog collar where it touches the dog’s skin.  We like anything that makes the collar more comfortable for the dog, after all most dogs will spend a long time wearing it.

The Perimeter Technologies systems also have some sort of electronics that compensates for changes in the wire temperature (tempcheck) and for changes in the condition of the wire (wirecheck).  From our testing these don’t seem to do a whole lot, but we will take their word for it that they make some small improvement in the consistency of the boundary line.

The “ultra” models let you change the frequency to avoid interfering with a neighbor’s system which can be a problem if they lay their boundary wire too close to your property line.

The Perimeter systems also have a more elegant design than anything else available.  The collars have a pleasing oval design and control box a nice small rectangular profile.

There are four different models available with the Perimeter systems.  The models labeled “deluxe” models include twisted wire (which they call FastTrak) and a lightning protection module.  The models labeled “ultra” let you change the correction levels and the frequency that the system uses.  The “ultra” models are only slightly more expensive than the “basic” models that only have a single correction level and are the ones to get.

The glaring absence is a rechargable collar battery.  Instead you are stuck with the Perimeter Technologies proprietary battery.  The silver lining is that the battery has a decent life of about four months.

Summary:  Some nice new features, we only wish it was rechargeable.

If you found this site useful, please consider purchasing your Perimeter system through our online store.  Our price on the Perimeter Dog Fence systems is the lowest price that Perimeter allows anyone to sell the unit and includes free shipping.

UPDATE:  For a limited time , the Perimeter systems will come with a FREE copy of the new Dog Fence Experts Book that takes you through installing a dog fence and training your dog (in PDF form).  We think a quick flip through this little book will save you a lot of time. (details below)
