When you look online, it can come across as a bit of a minefield with what system to choose. 

Some of the brands are very crude, some far too strong.

Many are also quite bulky, large in size and heavy in weight. They can also activate when you don't want them to. 

(I've tested all sorts of different brands).

For this reason, I'll discuss the 3 established brands of these systems in the UK. (and probably worldwide).

Petsafe, Invisible fence and Dogwatch, are in a different league compared to anything else I've ever got my hands on. 

All 3  have almost identical features such as:

                     

                      

                     

Governed levels of stimulation* - from sound to an increasing stimulas.

Audible warning, inc anti-linger features

Trapped pet deactivation - (If the Pet gets stuck inside the activation zone)

These features are developed by animal experts who have been involved with the industry for over 30 years. Its why I think other brands should in general, be avoided.

*Petsafe supply a 'stubborn dog' receiver. with an extra features used often by ridgeback owners.

You may have heard of 'activation times' or 'hang on' times. - These may relate to the imported budget systems, but i'd suggest disregarding these claims against the main three. These three brands respond almost identically when used in the correct circumstances.

Petsafe - (This is what Freedom-Fence and Petfence use)

Invisible Fence - Invisible Fence Brand UK

Dogwatch - (This is what Dogfence / Catfence use)
