The PetSafe Stubborn Dog Underground Fence is designed for strong-willed, determined dogs that require a higher level of training reinforcement. Ideal for dogs weighing 20 pounds and up, this in-ground containment system provides a safe, reliable way to establish clear boundaries while allowing your dog the freedom to enjoy your yard.
The included Stubborn Dog Receiver Collar features five programmable levels of static correction along with a vibration warning, giving you the flexibility to customize training based on your dog's temperament. As your dog approaches the buried boundary wire, the collar first delivers a warning vibration before applying the selected correction level if needed. With consistent training, most dogs quickly learn to remain safely within the designated containment area.
The system includes everything needed to contain one dog in an area of approximately 1/3 to 1/2 acre using the included 500 feet of boundary wire. With additional wire, flags, and compatible receiver collars, the system can be expanded to cover properties up to 10 acres and accommodate an unlimited number of dogs.
Designed for dependable operation, the waterproof receiver collar features a low battery indicator, while the transmitter includes a wire break alarm to alert you if the boundary wire is damaged. Adjustable correction zone settings allow you to fine-tune the warning area, and built-in collar fail-safe technology helps ensure safe operation.
