YardMax Rechargeable In-Ground Fence
PetSafe YardMax® Rechargeable In-Ground Fence
Give your dog more room to enjoy the yard with the PetSafe YardMax® Rechargeable In-Ground Fence. This advanced pet containment system is designed to maximize your dog's available play area, providing up to 30% more usable yard space than traditional in-ground fence systems while delivering safe, reliable containment.
Ideal for dogs weighing over 5 pounds, the YardMax system features a waterproof, rechargeable receiver collar with five adjustable levels of static correction plus a tone-only training mode. The collar is equipped with exclusive ReadyTest® and PerfectFit™ technologies, allowing you to verify that the receiver is functioning properly and fitted correctly before training begins.
The included system contains one pet in an area of approximately 1/3 acre using 500 feet of boundary wire. With additional wire and training flags, the system can be expanded to cover properties up to 10 acres, and additional compatible receiver collars allow you to safely contain an unlimited number of pets.

Two Operating Modes
Traditional Mode
Warning tone sounds as your dog approaches the boundary.
If your dog continues into the correction zone, the collar delivers the selected static correction.
Ideal for standard in-ground fence operation.
YardMax® Mode
Warning tone activates only after your dog crosses the boundary wire.
If your dog continues beyond the boundary, the collar provides correction until your dog returns to the designated pet area, creating the perception of an extended boundary.
Allows dogs to utilize up to 30% more of the available yard, making it especially beneficial for smaller properties.
