PetSafe Instant Dog Fence

Has anybody on here used this? If so, please let me know what you think of it. Thanks.

I used to have one that was similar to it except that it wasn't wireless. I had a rat terrier and anyone who has ever owned a terrier knows how much they love to wander. We had the fence turned all the way down and he got shocked once and from then on whenever he had the collar on he would not take on step off of the porch. We tried it on our golden retriever but she always stayed in the yard so it was pointless. I wouldn't recommend it on small dogs but larger dogs should be fine.

Thanks. I have heard good things about the invisible fence type things in general. I am particularly wondering about this wireless one. But thanks for the input.

I have a lab mix pup - hopefully won't be that big but generally lab size. The one I saw was $269 in Cabelas and elsewhere. A bit more than others but no wires to bury and it is portable.
