 really worksJun 16, 2008
By J. Lopez
"J Lopez"
We purchased this system due to the fact that we have 5 acres of open land and lots of neighboring cows for our dogs to chase. With my 2 older dogs, who have always been able to run loose, we took about two weeks of training them as instructed. They had no problem in learning. We then brought a young dog to our home who had always been enclosed in a yard with chain link fencing. Trained one very briefly, on lowest setting it ran thru boundary fencing, turned up the power, and along with the flags, the dog never ventures near boundary. Two very young strays, with whom we could not train due to the fact that they would not do the leash....put the collars on them, they accidentally went into boundary, with our visual supervision over a period of about a week, and they did not attempt doing that again. We then had to put boundary fencing around the area of where we park our cars, due to the destructive natures of the younger dogs who scratched several cars chasing a cat, they do not enter the boundary zone....in fact, when flags went up, they totally understood their meaning!!! excellent product that works with any age or stubborness of dogs. i highly recommend this product. Also, works just as well after water exposure, as our dogs love the pond, water does not affect the products effectiveness. i give this system 5 stars.

 Not as picturedMar 02, 2012
By MommyBeech
Just came in the mail. I was expecting to receive the orange collar as pictured, but received a black one instead. I have 2 dogs and really was hoping to have 2 different colored collars. We haven't installed the fence yet, so I can rate how well the collar works.

 Great SystemAug 10, 2011
By Hunter
I love the invisible fence system these people sell, it was easy to instal and maintain. My only gripe would be on the collars themselves. The screws absolutely suck. Maybe it is just my dogs or even me, but the screws get dirt/sand/debris lodged into the head of the screw and just underneath enough to make turning the screw a pain in the rear. When I need to change the battery, I try to clean the screws out to the best of my ability so I can get a screwdriver in. This is a pain and it seems like there should be a better way. If anyone has any suggestions please feel free to let me know.

SportDog SDF-R Add-A-Dog CollarOct 12, 2010
By Todd
For months I've been shuffling the original collar between two dogs, however, it wouldn't take long for the one w/o the collar to escape the yard. The additional collar makes life much easier and works as effectively as the original. Amazon provided the best price available. Thanks...

 Decent at bestJul 17, 2010
By Keith
This product is probably great under ideal conditions. The problem I have is that my yard is only about 1/2 acre. Once I bought the product and installed it I started having problems. I spoke with customer service several times and I was told that my yard was probably to small for this system. Also several things can magnify the radio signal making your dogs get zapped in the middle of the yard (e.g. any type of underground utility such as a neighborhood phone cable). I have to turn the range on low and turn the knob down to 2 out of 10 before it will work. Anything higher than 2 makes the collars shock the dogs if they turn a certain way or lay on the ground. As you can imagine the dogs are very confused now. Since I cannot turn the range up more than the setting of 2 the dogs have to get within abour 1 to 2 feet of the wire before they start recieving the correction. I have a husky that is very smart and bad so she has figured out if she starts running she can get through the perimiter without getting shocked. If I had to do it over again I would have bought one of the fences without a wire. These will continue to "correct" until the dog gets back within the perimiter. The buried wire types will only correct in the range established by the knob setting which may not be enough with a small yard.
If you decide to use this product my advise is to scalp the grass, use turf tacks to hold the wire close to the ground, and let the grass roots hold it down. This is what I eventually had to do to make my work decently. I still have to either put my husky on a run or go and find her every 3 or 4 days. If you are interested in buying this system without the wire let me know. [...]
