Pros

Yardmax is the only fence that will keep my dog at home. They only really have to suffer the zing a couople of times before they understand what the beep means. I charge the collar overnight every 2 weeks & i believe it can last 3+ weeks before ru...  Read More



Cons

Collars are cheap. The rubber flap always pulls off and then the prongs inside break. Currently, i have a collar that only has 3 prongs and won't charge. The transmitter shows the on light, but no a, b or wire break lights come on.

I wish the charging port was better made, usb would be 1000% better. There seems to be a bug with the “yardmax” feature of this system.

The warranty is 12 months, but this pushes my cost for the outfit to around $580. That’s the the * quality and greedy high replacement part costs.

Make your purchase and beware. I so regret buying this. A total bust. Product packaging in photo is incorrect.

Yardmax mode doesn't even work (at a 3' test height) when i switch it to traditional mode, the correction starts about two feet inside the fence line and makes the safe yard impractically small. These dead spots are nowhere near underground utilities ...  Read More

Quality


With the neighbor's help, we sometimes knew which direction they headed.


I left the wire above ground to start and that visual barrier with the flags made training super easy!

Price


I would give 5 stars except for the design of the collar and the cost.


If you were at all handy and willing to put in the time, this is a tremendous cost savings!

Competitiveness


Tremendous value compared to cost of professionally installed system (i was quoted $2k) but install can be tricky so beware if ...  Read More


For a fraction of the price of a professional install, this system works great!


I ordered 1000ft of 18 gauge wire and twisted wire as well.


They hear that beep and they understand its a no doggo zone.

    This doesnt correct them until after they cross the line and they cant jump or run through because they have to come back for the correction to stop


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I must admit we did have problems in the beginning—the alarm on the transmitter kept going off meaning we didn’t have a continues loop which meant the fence wasn’t working


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Turns out our problem was the transmitter


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    There is no way to replace the rechargeable battery forcing the customer to purchase a new collar


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The last collar lasted about 4 years so not too bad


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The hardest part of the setup was twisting the wires back to the house for a neutral line but once using a power drill it went quickly


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I buried all the wire close to the house but waited for falling leaves to cover the most of spots near the tree brush line


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    He was definitely timid for a couple of weeks and cautiously explored his new parameters before he was able to 100 enjoy his free time roaming
