The IUC-5225 Receiver Collar is Out of Stock until 6.28.2010. If you need a collar that is compatible with the fence, the IUC-4225 collar is in stock, and from the MuttFence.com store comes with 2-Day Shipping. IUC-4225 collar will only work with the fence and will not respond to the remote control.

The IUC-4225 Receiver collar is compatible with both the IUC-4100 & IUC-5100 fences. (Note: this collar does not work with the IUC-5100 remote control.)

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.

Each of these products come with one collar, the IUC-4225 for the IUC-4100 Ultrasmart Fence, and the IUC-5225 for the IUC-5100 Ultrasmart Contain ‘N’ Train. The IUC-4225 will work as a fence collar only on both systems, and the IUC-5225 will work with both the fence and the remote.

So, why would you buy one over the other?

• I want to add a dog to my Ultrasmart IUC-5100 Contain ‘N’ Train for the fence only
  You only need to get the IUC-4225 collar
• I want to add a dog to my IUC-5100 Ultrasmart Contain ‘N’ Train for both the fence and the remote trainer
  The collar you need is the IUC-5225
• I want to add a dog to my IUC-4100 Ultrasmart Fencing System
  An IUC-4225 collar is perfect

In a nutshell, if you have an IUC-5100 Ultrasmart Contain ‘N’ Train, you can add a dog just to the fence with the IUC-4225 Ultrasmart Collar, or to the fence and trainer with the IUC-5225 Ultrasmart Collar. FYI: The IUC-5100 has a two dog capacity for the remote trainer.

If you have an IUC-4100 Ultrasmart Pet Fencing System, you should only purchase an IUC-4225 Collar. FYI: The IUC-5225 would work with the fence, but it would additional cost for no benefit over the IUC-4225.

The IUC 5225 Collar has both Ultrasmart Fence and Remote Training Capability

The IUC-4225 is Fully Compatible with all Ultrasmart Fences, but has no Remote Training

The great thing about both of these systems is that you do not need two units and two collars, just one unit can contain your dog both at your home and away.

The IUC-5100 is Ultrasmart^© because it features ReadyTest^© that lets you know the collar is working and fitted correctly.

She has a very powerful dog who gets out of the yard and can cause havoc. When she first got her Contain ‘N’ Train unit, she was using only the training collar since the fence wasn’t installed yet. So, she’d put the training collar on the dog and let him outside, always keeping the remote nearby.

She realized she hadn’t seen him in a while, so she started calling his name. He didn’t answer. She went running around to his normal spots in the yard. Not there. She thought he’d got out again, so she started the collar stimulation. Nothing. All the way up to nine. Nothing. Then she walked around the corner of the house to see him sat, looking a little dishevelled, right where he’d been the whole time. By the back door!

She said he’s been a different dog ever since, but please, please, all of you out there: don’t allow the panic to set in. Act quickly and decisively if you think he’s trying to escape, but make sure he really is!

The Innotek Contain ‘N’ Train Systems are perfect for this situation, since one unit is both the fence and the training system. No more changing collars, or looking for the other remote, just one product that does both jobs.

Contain ‘N’ Train Systems are available for people on a range of budgets, since both the SD-3000 Basic Contain ‘N’ Train, and the flagship IUC-5100 Ultrasmart Contain ‘N’ Train Systems are available.

Do you sell the Innotek IUC-5200?

Answer:

The Innotek IUC-5200 Contain ‘N’ Train Fence is no longer manufactured and has been replaced by the Innotek IUC-5100 Ultrasmart Contain ‘N’ Train Pet Fencing System.

The IUC-5100 is an excellent solution for someone who wants both an Electric Dog Fence and a Remote Dog Trainer.

How many dogs can I add to the IUC-5100?

Answer:

As you know, the IUC-5100 is a combined fence and trainer – which is why it is called a Contain ‘N’ Train system. The trainer is capable of handling two dogs. The kit comes with one IUC-5225 Ultrasmart Receiver Collar and extra collars are available.

To add dogs to the fence, you do not need the remote training feature. For this purpose, the number of dogs is essentially unlimited. To add dogs to the fence only, you still need an Ultrasmart Collar, and the IUC-4225 Ultrasmart Receiver Collar is perfect.

Will the Innotek Contain & Train collars work with the Pet Safe Stubborn Dog System?

Answer:

Unfortunately, no. The systems are different and not compatible with each other. Perhaps you could consider a remote trainer as an additional option. In this case, the dog would need two collars, one for the fence and one for the trainer. It sounds like you have multiple dogs, so the Innotek BT-502A Two Dog Basic Trainer would be a great option for you.

Another option is to consider one our Contain ‘N’ Train systems, such as the Innotek SD-3000 Basic Contain and Train, or the Innotek IUC-5100 Ultrasmart Contain ‘N’ Train Pet Fencing System. The fences would utilize your existing wiring and add some great features to boot – particularly the IUC-5100.
