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.

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.
