Question:

I have a 10 pound schnauzer and I am looking for a wireless fence ? What would you recommend and the price? PIF 300 and a PIF-275-19 collar ?

Answer:

There are two models of Wireless Dog Fence on the market: 1) PetSafe PIF-300 Wireless Fence, and 2) Perimeter Technolgies PWF-100 Wi-Fi Fence. In short, the Perimeter is a more high-end, but more expensive unit, while the PetSafe is less expensive but has lighter collar.

The PIF-300 Wireless Dog Fence

Because the receiver collar is a little lighter, we recommend the PetSafe PIF-300 Permium Instant Wireless Fence. The price is currently $229.95* and this includes the Fence, Receiver Collar, and Batteries.

*Correct at time of writing but subject to change.

Question:

What dog weight is the IUC-5100 rated for? I have a 6 pound Chihauhua.

Answer:

The Innotek IUC-5100 is a combined fence and 150 yard trainer called “Ultrasmart Contain ‘N’ Train”. The collar that is included with this unit is a model number IUC-5225 Receiver Collar.

The collar is appropriate for dogs 8 lbs and up, although 10 lbs is probably a better benchmark.  It may be worth considering the PetSafe Little Dog Pet Fencing System, which is designed for dogs below 20 lbs.

There is a product that is suitable for training deaf, or hearing impaired dogs. It it the PetSafe PVPP-300 Pet Pager Vibration Controlled Trainer. This collar features a 100 yard range, long battery life, and is designed to gently and humanely “page” your pet.

The Pet Pager has no static shock feature, and gently corrects using a combination of tone and noise.

The PetSafe Pet Pager is a humane, tone and vibration trainer especilly suitable for deaf, or hearing impaired dogs. It is In-Stock, On-Sale, and feature fast, FREE 2-Day Air Shipping from MuttFence.com. Click the image above for more details.

The short answer is “Yes”. The SD-2025 is an Innotek, battery replaceable, waterproof collar for the Innotek Pet Fencing Systems.

As a general rule, the products that begin with “SD” are compatible with each other. This means that the SD-2025 Collar is compatible with the SD-3000 Basic Contain ‘N’ Train System, along with the SD-2000 Basic In-Ground Pet Fencing System, and the SD-2100 Rechargeable In-Ground Pet Fencing System.

The restrictions are that the SD-2025 Collar will not work with the Remote Control for the SD-3000, nor is it compatible with the Ultrasmart products.

The Innotek SD-2025 Collar, Compatible with the Innotek SD-3000/2100/2000 Pet Fences is On Sale with Free 2-Day Shipping from Muttfence.com

The Innotek IUC-5100 Contain ‘N’ Train Remote Control accepts a 12-Volt Alkaline Battery Model BAT-012. This unit is original equipment and is made to fit your Contain ‘N’ Train Remote Control.

The BAT-012 is the 12-Volt Alkaline Battery accepted by Innotek Remote Controls for both Contain 'N' Train and Remote Trainers. On Sale, In Stock and Free Shipping from MuttFence.com

Wireless Pet Fences are fantastic products. Plug them in, adjust the level, put on the collar and it’s all ready to go!

Because these units transmit without wires, they are subject to some limitations. (Have you ever wondered why those cell phone towers are so tall?)

Top ten reasons why you shouldn’t buy a Wireless Dog Fence.

1. Your house has metal siding
2. You have a metal roof
3. The lot is wooded, or has dense tree cover
4. Your home is a log home
5. You need to contain more than two dogs
6. A circular containment pattern is no good for you
7. You want to contain more than 2½ acres (½ acre for some models)
8. You need more than 180 ft containment distance from the base station (90 ft for some models)
9. There is a major metal structure in the containment area
10. You live in a Faraday Cage (unlikely, but we were one short of 10!)

A Wireless Pet Fence is still a great product. To find out more, visit the frequestly asked questions page at the MuttFence.com retail store.

The PetSafe Instant Wireless Fence includes two batteries of model number RFA-67D-11. This allows you to keep one battery on charge, while the other is in the collar working.

We hope this article helped, either way, feel free to leave a comment.

The product you are looking for is called the PetSafe RFA-67D-11 6 Volt Lithium Battery which is sold as a two-pack, and is original manufacturer’s equipment.

We know that’s quite a mouthful, so we sell it as a PetSafe Wireless Fence Battery!
