Best Dog Wireless Fences of 2025

"I've had my Pet-Safe system for over a month now, and I was initially skeptical because my dog is incredibly active. However, I've been pleasantly surprised. After a few days, my dog learned the boundaries and even returned to me when nearing the perimeter. It's been a game changer for his behavior, and we get to enjoy running free without any issues."

"This system is fantastic and hassle-free. There are no annoying apps or subscriptions, and it works just as promised. I found it easy to set up and it's been very reliable so far. I highly recommend it!"

"I've been using this PetSafe unit for four years. The home base has been running constantly, and I only charge the collar when the light turns orange. My dog, Matt, knows his boundaries perfectly, and we love how it allows him to enjoy a big area without worry. It's a great product that I suggest to anyone!"

"For ease of setup, I rated the PetSafe Wireless Pet Containment System 4 stars, but I believe it deserves 5 stars for performance. Our adopted mixed breed dog had been escaping frequently, and we needed a solution to keep him safe. After some reservations about using a shock collar, we decided to try this system. Setting it up took about 2 hours, and we had to adjust the transmitter for our narrow lot. I wish we had known not to leave the collar on him 24/7, as that could cause discomfort. Despite the initial challenges, I’m relieved it has stopped him from escaping."

"I was initially hesitant about using a shock collar, but the situation with my dog was urgent. After a few escapes, I felt we had little choice. The setup was straightforward, but the collar does look quite large on my 30lb dog. We started with a shock setting of 4, which was too strong, so we lowered it to 2. At first, he was afraid to go outside, causing issues with house-training. However, he’s gradually adjusted and is now more comfortable. I’m thankful this system has kept him safe!"

"I spent more than 3 hours getting this wireless dog fence system set up, but it has made my life so much easier! My dog used to climb over our physical fence, making it hard to keep him safe. Now, I can choose to either spend time with him outside or have him wear the collar, giving us both more flexibility."

"My lab mix puppies learned to stay within boundaries after just a couple of shocks! At first, they didn't understand, but now they play happily and know their limits. I’m really glad I chose this option over spending money on kennels."

"After trying this system, I can confidently say it works wonders! My Golden Retriever took minimal training to understand the boundaries, and now she comes back immediately when she hears the beep. The correction is mild, and I even tried it on myself first. I’m thrilled with this purchase!"

"I found the PetSafe Stay & Play Compact Wireless Pet Fence to be an invaluable tool for my furry friend. The wire-free design makes setup incredibly easy, and I love that I can take it anywhere. The signal reliability is impressive, and my pet quickly learned the boundaries with the help of the provided training materials. Overall, it's become a must-have for us!"

"I have a 16 lb King Charles spaniel, and he was fully trained in just a week! I was initially worried about using this system, fearing it might hurt him. However, I started at level 1, and he didn’t respond until level 5. Now, he loves running free in the yard, and I couldn’t be happier with how well this system works!"

"This is my second unit, as the first one quit working after a few years. Unfortunately, the replacement unit only lasted about four months before it stopped working. However, when I contacted the company, they sent me a new unit right away. I highly recommend this product because it works great and the customer service is outstanding!"

"I recently ordered GPS dog fences and I'm very satisfied. The battery life is excellent, and the charger is well-designed with fast charging speed. Even with extensive training, it lasts for several days. I strongly recommend this product for its price and functionality."

"We appreciate being able to use beeping and vibrate instead of shock. We've had no issues with the range of the product."

"This collar was supposed to help with training, but when I set it up, my dog started to scream uncontrollably. I ran to her, and it was like she was being electrocuted continuously. After I took it off, it kept shocking her until I turned it off. I can't believe this almost killed my dog. I would advise against buying it unless you can confirm its authenticity."

"This training tool is by far the most humane and effective option I’ve found for my headstrong French Bulldog. The remote control is extremely easy to use. I’ve saved my dog’s life several times because he wanted to chase cars. It only took one or two incidents using all three stages to stop him in his tracks."

"Since getting this collar for my 100 lb. Akita pup, things have improved. It charges quickly, and the battery life lasts longer than other collars. I love the training aspect; it works really well with his stubbornness. I haven't had to use the shock feature, as the sound and vibration grab his attention."

"I was so happy with this product. It was functioning as intended until my dog returned without the collar. I found it in the yard using the beep function. Unfortunately, the plastic components holding the collar failed, and I’m disappointed with the lack of response from the seller. I recommend spending a bit more for better quality."

"I rescued my dog about a year ago, and with our large property, I needed a reliable solution for his safety. After trying a rope, I found the Halo GPS collar. Training was straightforward, and he learned to associate the beeping with returning to safety quickly. Now, I can trust him outside, and we’ve had zero incidents since starting with the Halo. It gives him freedom outdoors, which he loves!"

"Though I understand some of the 1-star reviews, I think many complaints are minor. My experience with the Halo GPS collar has been positive. Yes, the GPS can be a bit spotty, but it's the best option I’ve found for country living. I can track my dog and use the collar’s features to keep her safe. After trying cheaper alternatives, I’m convinced that investing in Halo was the right choice."

"I found this hassle-free wireless system that sets up in no time. The circular area coverage works perfectly, and I haven’t experienced any glitches so far."

"After a few training sessions, my dog understood the boundaries. Now, he enjoys the backyard without getting tangled up in leads."

"This product has been a life saver. My dogs used to escape constantly, but since using this system, they’ve learned their invisible barrier and stay safe in the yard."

“At first, I was uncertain about the collar, but as I used it, I found myself liking it more. My lab, already trained for invisible fences, responded well to the beeps just like he did before. It works effectively, though he sometimes struggles near the porch or under trees where the GPS signal drops. Most days it's reliable, but there are times when I have to remove the collar due to constant beeping. There is a slight delay in real-time tracking, but overall, this collar is an upgrade over traditional radius fences, even considering the subscription. I rated it 4 stars because, while I enjoy using it, some aspects can be a bit inconvenient.”

“I had high hopes for the PetSafe Guardian GPS collar, especially for our family camping trips and at home. Initially, it seemed to work fine, but I faced issues with GPS accuracy, showing my dog far away when she was right beside me. After trying it at home, the collar failed to function properly, often showing my dog's location inaccurately. After a couple of shocking incidents, I reached out to customer service, and while I learned about the signal issues, it didn't reassure me about my dog's safety. Disappointing experience for the price paid.”

“The PetSafe Guardian GPS collar is a game changer for keeping my medium-sized dog safe. I appreciate the easy wireless setup and real-time tracking features. It allows my dog the freedom to roam on our large property without the need for physical fencing. While the subscription fee is a consideration, I believe the collar's reliability and innovative features justify the cost. It's a solid investment for any pet owner looking to ensure their dog's safety.”

"I absolutely love this setup. My boxer learned quickly where his boundaries are around our property. We never need to use vibrate or shock because he is responsive. When he tests the limits, I just press the beep to get his attention, and he hustles back. I love taking this to the park, beach, or hiking, giving him the freedom to run while keeping him close. I've already recommended it to two friends! Great product!"

"So far, for my Beagle, this has worked wonders with training her in our yard. I've only used the beep button, and it was pretty easy to set up. Very satisfied with the results!"

"I was extremely disappointed with this product. It works fine when my dogs are outside, but it gives constant false alarms when they are inside. I kept the remote in the center of the house, adjusted the range, and yet the collars still beep and vibrate. It put my pups into a panic. This is my third attempt at a wireless fence from Amazon, and like the others, it’s not reliable. I've heard that Pet Safe models are the only ones that work consistently, but they are more expensive. I would not recommend this unit as a fence."
