Stay & Play Wireless Pet Fence Receiver Collar Only for Dogs and Cats, Waterproof and Rechargeable, Tone and Static Correction - From The Parent Company of INVISIBLE FENCE Brand

I have used these PetSafe Collars for years now. We have used them on various dogs as they have need them. It is easy to set up and teach the dog where their perimeter is. I like that we can set it up for a smaller perimeter in the winter and then give them more room in the summer. The 'shock' strength is also nice to be able to adjust. Little dogs need less reminder than the big dogs. This system also works with multiple collars at once and the whole system itself is easy to set up and get started keeping your dog safe.

This PetSafe Stay & Play replacement collar worked perfectly with my existing wireless fence system. Setup was quick and straightforward — synced right away with no issues. The collar is lightweight, waterproof, and holds a charge well. Overall, a great replacement that was easy to hook up and does exactly what it should.

It works great for my dogs. Easy to use. The battery lasts a long time. We’ve had one for over a year and it still works great.

We purchased the PetSafe “Free to Roam” wireless fence kit in October 2019. No issues so far with the radar dome, but the collar plastic cover broke in 2021. I was able to superglue it back together but it stopped working, even with a new battery in February 2022. We ordered a replacement and this one arrived in March 2022. The plastic cover seems to be the same so I’m going to knock it down a couple stars anticipating that we’re going to watch it break again in another couple of years. I’ll update my review if that happens. The upgrade I observed is that this one has a rechargeable battery. The original one we had required replacement batteries at about $8 per pair on Amazon at the time of this post. I only had to buy one set of replacement batteries in the 2.5 years we used the first one. So far, we’re still on the original charge after 2 months of use so it seems to hold up well. Hopefully we will be able to get several recharge cycles before it doesn’t charge. I see some reviews that we can expect 4 years. Overall, at $160 at the time of this post, it seems a tad pricey, but given the features and peace of mind it makes sense. We can let our dog, Archie, out and he stays within the bubble, never going outside of it except for that first time in 2019 when we set it up. He is always excited when we put it on. As you can see from the picture, the only thing more exciting is when he knows it’s time for dinner and wants to come in!

They work great and keep the dogs on the property. Once they figured out where the line was they didnt even try to cross it. They need to be charged over night every 3ish days if they are on consistantly worn

I live on a farm with a really old lab and two dachshunds, one adult and one puppy, all of which can be very stubborn. I cannot physically fence my yard, even underground, for several reasons. For more than 10 years I have had to put my dogs out one at a time on a chain cause they all immediately run for the neighbor's yard which has yummy chickens to eat. It was a long, time consuming process just to get them out in the morning before work. When we got the puppy, things just got worse. Enter the PetSafe Stay and Play fence. Buying the base unit & collar, with two extra collars was expensive but I considered it an investment in my sanity. I even got a stubborn dog collar, thinking that either my male dachshund or elderly lab might need it. I picked a weekend, read the training manual and followed it. Within the first 2 days, all three dogs understood their boundaries and I only had to use the first level of correction. I was SO excited. I continued on with the training as much as I could over the next few days while working. Some days they all only got one training session, but I was shocked at the results. The first time I tried them off leash, all 3 dogs behaved and stayed inside the boundary zone. They ran and ran, tumbled and played and got to be dogs. And now I can let all three out at the same time with no restrictions. They love it when I snap on their collars. BEST product ever!! One little tip.... We have a driveway that crosses the boundary zone. We could not place flags on the driveway to show visual reminders of the boundary. So we spray painted small white lines across the driveway. Just dots really, and the dogs respect it. Both of my runners have stopped running to the neighbor's. Yay!! UPDATE: All three dogs still respect the line. Lately I've even forgotten to put their collars on in the am, and they still stay in the boundaries. Best investment ever!!

Pros: - Convenient solution for pet containment - Easy setup and installation - Effective in most situations Cons: - Unreliable performance with sudden malfunctions - Lack of warning signs or alarms when system fails - Concerns about safety features and effectiveness Review: I recently purchased the PetSafe Stay & Play Compact Wireless Dog Fence with high hopes of providing a safe and convenient solution for containing my dogs. Initially, I was impressed with the ease of setup and the overall effectiveness of the system. It offered a convenient way to give my dogs freedom while ensuring they stayed within the designated boundaries. However, my experience took a turn when the system suddenly stopped working without warning. Despite multiple attempts to power cycle the unit, the display remained blank, leaving me puzzled and concerned. This unexpected malfunction not only disrupted the system's functionality but also raised doubts about its reliability and safety. One particularly alarming incident occurred when I inadvertently received a shock from one of the collars while attempting to troubleshoot the system. This raised concerns about how long my poor dog may have been subjected to unnecessary discomfort due to the malfunction. While the concept of the PetSafe Stay & Play Compact Wireless Dog Fence is promising, the execution fell short in terms of reliability and safety. The lack of warning signs or alarms when the system fails is a significant drawback that undermines its effectiveness. In conclusion, while the PetSafe Stay & Play Compact Wireless Dog Fence offers convenience and ease of use, its reliability and safety features leave much to be desired. I would advise potential buyers to proceed with caution and explore alternative options until these issues are addressed by the manufacturer.

Good buy

We got a second collar for our current system. We already had the pet safe system for our first dog. We recently got a puppy, and bought a second collar for her. It just had to charged and connected automatically to our base system. Great product

Replaced our old collar that stopped charging, this one matched perfectly and haven't had any issues

I have used this system for approximately 10 years and I can't say enough good stuff about it. However, the new collars that are rechargeable and do not use batteries do not last as long as the battery collars. I have just had to replace my rechargeable collar that I purchased February 2022 because it stopped working. For the price of the collar I think that it should last longer than 18 months.

Our original caller Was not sending electrical current when our dog we go past the line so we got this and it instantly worked with our system all we had to do was charge the battery and plug it in and it instantly worked loved it

I ordered it as a 2nd collar so I could have one when the other is charging. The whole Pet Safe system works great .Good range area.. I do think the system should come with two collars. Very pleased with it.
