Can this be used as a "fence"? We have a HUGE yard and we don't want to bury a wire.

I've used it on my dog as she was chasing a four-wheeler (her 'chase' trigger). I waited until she was just near the road and then I gave her a shock at the '3' out of '100' level, and she immediately turned around. So if you are able to always be observant and can time it right it can in a way be an effective fence.

I have used it for about 2 weeks and it works like majic. I call my dog wait a few minutes and if he doesn't show I press the button and he appears in about a minute or less. I have only used the shock portion a couple of times and he now responds with just the vibration and beeping. He is also staying home more all the time. I have shocked myself with it on about 25% power same as we use for our malamute and it will get your attention but it's not that bad. I have tried it up to 1/4 mile thru trees and a brick house and it still worked.

It doesn't shock by itself. You have to train the dog by walking your property and showing the dog it's boundaries. We love it. Our dog knows if she leaves the yard we will shock her. After a few attempts to leave and be corrected. She listens great

I have used the 12 foot horizontal galvanized posts that you would use for a chain link fence (2), they are cheaper than the "antenna mounts". I used a post hole digger to bury the bottom down 18" or so, concrete optional, and braced near the top of the house. I have a ranch house, so you may need to adjust for a taller structure.

Yes, im sure you can, but them people will think its fake, because if it were real you would have to drill through the brinks to run wire. I would advise you to place it somewhere else.

You can restrict by making in ground fence area smaller You can also make area bigger and section parts of yard off from dogs (like a garden) by twisting wire

Yes it can. I have done this at my home and there is no safety issue. The only downside in doing so is the the field depth between the stranded and solid core wire varies. Meaning, if you set a four foot wide warning zone on the solid wire, you may find that the stranded zone is six feet or more. The wire is holding up well and it is a good value.

Well I guess you wouldn't have to. You could use it like an electric fence but be careful if the doggies aren't wearing the collar them they could chew up the wire and electrocute themselves. We buried ours since we didn't always use the system so when they were outside we didn't worry about them chewing the wire up. There are 2 connectors in the rock.

Wire can be any unit. The ground means anything metal touching the ground. I have a chain-link fence just have it attached to one of the corner posts.

We installed ours on a 600 foot chain link fence so it was easy since most of it didn't have to be buried in the ground. One person should be able to do it but I guess it depends on if one person can do all the digging if it needs to be buried.

I doubt it. It's a very short, small section of fence. You need to really look at the dimensions, and remember that some of that goes below ground. More decorative than functional. It's a single, small accent piece. I use one to hold a mum plant back from the sidewalk.

I used this wire for an electronic dog fence. It is buried in my yard and has not been harmed by any of the elements.

The easy way is use a fence stretcher. Its like a com-a long for wire fence.

I believe you could. I mounted my outside near my deck and ran an electrical cord to it. It works great.

No I am using it for an Invisible Dog Fence and it will be buried and attached to a low voltage signal generator where the dog has a receiver on it's collar. My dog will not be out in a lighting storm. I am not adding Lighten protection. Dan

Sure. Put a big nail in the fence and hang it. Forget the suction cup. If the fence is wrought iron, use an "s" hook. Your hardware store has them.

Yes, but you don't bury it very deep, just an inch or so. You can run your lawnmower without worrying about the wire.

I would say anything is possible but we anchor ours to a fence. There are othee ways to anchor as well if you would like to move yours around the yard.

sure can, its rated for outdoor use, avoids taking up space inside and typically makes the installation less expensive since you don't have to carry the wires into the house...
