I had a look at various systems and there were some cheaper ones which at first I did consider. It was when reading information about the company and backup technical support that I made my mind up. I'd rather support Australian based companies than those overseas. About the product. I used my ring-lock fence that runs around my property (3 acres) to carry the control cable. (I simply weaved it in/out through the openings). Where there was a gate, I threaded it through some old garden hose for extra support, first using some thick fence wire to push through the hose, then extracted the steel wire with the control cable securely taped to it. It took me about 3 hours to completely surround my property and cover my two driveways. I already had power at my main gate, so I popped the control unit in a waterproof case with a clear lid and connected the control cable. All the lights indicated the loop was intact and power was available. Now all I had to do was walk test with one collar in each hand. I found a setting of 3 or 4 is perfect for my system, allowing the collars to approach the perimeter by about 1 metre. In some places, it is a little bit closer and in others a bit further away. Obviously it is a question of fine tuning so the dogs can have maximum safe play area on the property. There is a book with tips on how to best use the system, but I did not follow this regime exactly as my dogs soon learned that the warning beeps mean business and they quickly recover to a safe area where the collar stops beeping. I'm very impressed with how quickly they learned. Once they pulled away all by themselves I offered much praise and a some liver treats which they love. Within one week my dogs now appear to only play and run around within the closer boundaries of the house and its immediate grounds. They do run wide though, as they chase each other, but as soon as though control beeps start sounding the dogs correct their travel and carry on again. I had to buy two extra rolls of cable so my system was a little bit more expensive, but well worth it. Great value ...great productRead full review

Reason for low rating is the lowest setting is too much for my greyhound and I cant use it. Would like to have a very low setting. Shorter prongs would be great for very short hair dogs. If you had a tougher dog I am sure it would be fine.

Easy to install and operate, took about three hours to bury into the ground around my boundary but this will depend on how big your boundary is. my dog took to the collar really well and it is adjustable so will fit any size dog. the training routine took longer than I had expected, but this is not a fault of the product just a time factor in having the dog contained.

I have this on 2 dogs both 6 months old. Works well. Had some problems to begin with but the company sorted that out. Training was easy for me as the dogs are cleave and understood the limitations As I have no front fence I can now go out knowing the dogs will stay Thanks good product.

4 out of 5 collars broke within 6 month of using the product. Power points around the house set the collars off leaving the dogs confused. Witnessed my dogs run past the wire with the collar only working some of the time. Overall it’s an ineffective low quality product that has not at all helped curbed my dogs behaviour.
