Wireless Dog Fences create a circular boundary around a central base station using radio waves. They are quick to set up, but are not yet anywhere near as good as in-ground. The units have a lot of trouble going through obstacles, particularly a metal roof, siding, trees, and some walls. They are also imprecise, the boundary will move 3-5 feet second-to-second. The units can also be slow to respond, meaning the dog can get the correction too late and can keep getting the correction for a few seconds after they return. For these reasons, wireless units have a low rate of customer satisfaction. Nearly half people that get a wireless unit will end up exchanging it for a in-ground unit. In contrast in-ground, only around 3% of customer are unhappy with their in-ground fence.

I am in France, which operates on 220v. Can I use your fences here? I believe they are 110v? thanks for your help.

ADMIN – Hi Carina,

All the systems on this site are for North American use and are 110V. PetSafe and Innotek do produce European versions of their products that work on 220V, but you will have to try local retailers to get them.

Hi, Could you please review the havahart wireless fence systems.

ADMIN – Hi Josh,

We are currently testing the HavaHart wireless and wired systems. The reviews should be ready in about 6 weeks (Mid-June)

I am also interested in what you think of the Havahart wireless systems. I have 2 small dogs and would rather go the wireless route. I like the rechargable batteries for the collar also. The small dog inground doesn’t have this.

I am also interested in a review of Havahart, in particular, the custom shape wireless model available sometime in June. Need a system asap!

ADMIN – Hi Linda,

We are also looking forward to taking a look. We will let you know as soon as we get it into testing.
