So far the collar is doing it's job and keeping our dog within the set boundaries. Delivery was quick and it didn't take too long to setup.
Only pain point we hit was that the manuals that come with the collar appear out of date as the text (and website) calls out a specific app but the qr code leads to the one you really need. The instructions weren't clear on how to switch to the polygonal border but we were able to eventually figure it out (as we wanted to cover most of our acreage instead of just a radius).

Easy set up and works great!
Sheila B.
Working very well

This product gave my beagle freedom to roam without the hassle of a line that gets tangled or the expense of a fence.

The remote function is helpful with training and the fence function has worked enough to keep our boy closer to home but has a lost connection most of the time.
Julianne G.
The fence is great but I wish I could have 2 dogs on one fence instead of having to create a fence for each dog. They don't line up exactly and it is confusing to the dogs.
Paige M.
So far so good! Love that we don’t have a monthly subscription and it seems to be working well & keeping our 5 month old Weimaraner away from the road.
Maryanne B.
Easy set-up. I appreciate the option of using sound, vibration, and shock depending on the circumstance.
I like that I didn't have to have wires installed in my lawn.
Bobby k.
Simple to get started just wish the battery life last longer
Jerry S.
I have not got set up yet. I’m having trouble understanding the instructions and I need help so I can’t tell you. How do you for how good it is I’m hoping that it’s gonna be good Ali to talk to you your support group or a technician. Thank you.
Jonathan W.
We've been using it for 3 days on a boxer and a heeler who were accustomed to a SmartPet wireless fence collar. So far we like it. Would LOVE for it to broadcast collar location over wifi instead of Bluetooth.
Timothy A.
We actually like these better than halo. Dogs respond better and are happier with them
John R.
My dog learned the first time that we used the fence and has stayed inside the boundary ever since .
Amy M.
So far it works great, and the dogs are able to run and play and stay in the yard. No dead spots so far.
Adam H.
So far the collar has worked as advertised. Did not receive the chicken jerky treats with my order.
Vickie P.
Works as it should.
Karrin O.
Great customer service! I had made an error on what I needed for my home - on a holiday weekend - and they corrected it within 6 hours and credited my account!
My husband got it up and running in a short window! The dogs are no longer running after kids scooters, walkers or other dogs! Peace of mind! And this will be amazing when we have people watch our dogs!
Nathaniel N.
Took forever to get here but, it made it dog doesn’t mind it and hubby loves it works the way it should !
Curtis T.
So far, Roma's collar is running the battery down within a day or two. I will wait to see if it does better when we get moved on to the new property and she is putside 24/7.
Krista C.
The device was easy to set up and love the wireless fence feature!
Possibly an issue with a small group, though the large display screen on the collar reflects the sunlight and my dog chases the reflection. I have used electrical tape to modify.
Overall great device!
Jayden C.
Worked within a week.
Maggie R.
Needs more battery life.
Justin M.
Work prefect with all the trees
Laurie D.
I have 3 collars. I live rurally soooo at times there is NO SIGNAL.
My 8month old male totally ignores the beeps and shakes.. my 2 girls. Same age. Follow the collar setup
Tara J.
So far we are loving this collar. My dog quickly learned the new borders with this system. It took a little bit of tweeking to get the border where I wanted it, but it is easy to set up.
Everett G.
It seems to be a great system and we continue to use it as a training collar but have not been able to set up the satellite system yet and will need help to do that. It is difficult to set up the system.
Christopher J.
The collar works great for our dog. We feel safer when he has it on our property.
Jamie N.
Fast shipping. Great product
Kathy N.
Works as it should took awhile to arrive
Jill m.
So far the unit works great. We can't figure out how to shut it off though. Step up instructions were good except for the fence piece.
Kevin A.
No more wandering pug and this has been very helpful
Emily W.
Seems like it works ok. The set up is confusing, I had to look up a YouTube video because the written instructions make no sense.
Angela C.
I really like the collar and it was very easy to set up the fence after I spoke with support and they work great. But, the battery does not last more than 24 hours which the website site reviews said 2 to 3 days. But I can deal with the battery not lasting as long as reviews stated. Very satisfied with the product
Debra B.
Our dogs kept leaving our property and we have 5 acres and did not want to fence the entire acreage. We ordered the collars and wanted one that you didn't have to do the "shock" but has tone, vibration and shock... We have just used the tone and vibration and they have not left their mapped area. LOVE love that it was soooo easy and very effective
RICHARD M.
It works great battery life on collar not too great
Sarah W.
Originally gave 3 stars because of the satellite interference when the dogs sleep under the vehicles, but over time all the dogs do not cross our circle drive way and do not go up to the black top any more. It is such a peace of mind! Also having the remote is super easy to switch on and get them to stop digging in the mulch! I love that it covers all the farm ground around our house but keeps them off the road. Our new puppy especially knows his limits. What a great invention, I have 2 collars so far that I alternate on the dogs. I will most likely buy a third. The battery lasts about a full day and night. However will fully charge in about 2 hours. Also they have proven to be water proof as our dogs never stay out of the stock tanks.
Jeff B.
Seems to be working. I live in an area of bad cell reception, not to sure how well the gps fence will work. Just with the collar on and using the tones is very effective. I do like the change of frequency, #3 is very effective for my dog.
Joshua S.
It does work great, connectivity to unit lacks a bit, but as long as the collar can remember the boundary, we will be just fine. It gives him the freedom he deserves.
Jay w.
One of my gps borders doesn't ring when Shea(doggie) passes by. I need to research why.. Only had device 3 days.
Nigel P.
Works how I expected but the battery go's flat every day so can't rely on it when not home
CAROL R.
I have two very enthusiastic huskies who love to run. I set up the system to include most of my 18 acres. They learned the boundaries the first day! Now I don’t have to worry about them getting on the road or neighbors property.
Ruth S.
The collar works great for reminders to the dog to behave and/or stay in the yard.
William W.
Just getting used to it but seems to be what we need.
Bryan M.
Seems to work well my dog has only been zapped 1 time I felt bad but held it and zapped myself while it did git my attention it did not hurt but it was not on my neck. I did turn it to the lowest setting. The geo fence was easier to set up using the app over all great.
Kari W.
Overall, the collar seems to work well. The GPS boundary doesn’t seem to be the most precise, but it generally stays close. It sort of has a tendency to “float”. I have had to reset the fence in the app when it deleted it for some reason, but it hasn’t happened again.
Jeff B.
Seems to work just fine
SHARLENE G.
I had a hard time understanding the settings, the gps part is tricky so I'm using the training mode for now . He did love the chicken jerky. So when I can adjust the gps part so that he doesn't get confused he'll be good, sometimes it goes off when I don't want it to and doesn't when I want it to. So I'm going to have to figure that out .
Crystal C.
Gives me piece of mind knowing my dog has the space to go around the property but still be safely contained.
Keith G.
Bought 2 collars.
Cons:
#1 Battery life. I was hoping for at least 3 days battery life. Getting maybe a day to 30hrs. tops.
#2. Setting up the boundaries has a little learning curve. Took a little bit of trial and error to get it exactly where I wanted it. However got them both set.
Pro:
Did a little trying with them. Turned them loose. The went past the boundary and and got corrected several times. Now the get to the fence and it keeps they immediately turn around. Had no problems with them leaving our property now. Other than battery life im happy with the product.
Jessica S.
We like it, the only thing that I don’t care for is the fact that I can’t see where my dog is when we aren’t home. We had gotten this for our new dog after we lost our male this past December due to being hit on the road.
Heather R.
We have only been using it for a few days now, but it is working flawlessly so far. It did take quite a while for it to connect to a satellite signal during the setup process, longer than the 1-3 minutes listed in the instructions, it was more like 15 minutes. We do live out in the country tho so I am sure that is why. I love the adjustable collar, I was able to take it all the way down to fit my 1 year old toy golden doodle but yet it is still light enough that it doesn't weigh her down and it doesn't bother her at all. I started it out on the sound and vibration combo and so far she is taking the warnings and turning around to stay within her parameters and out of the road. The map was super easy to set up in the app and was within just a few feet of where I wanted it, adjusted it a little and it was perfect. So far, I highly recommend this system!
Jeffrey C.
Works good but battery last less than 2 days. Would give it 5 stars if it would last 4-5 days.
Donald P.
it's nice not much for talking
DANIEL P.
Works great for my escape artist. She stays in her area.
Deann C.
I have not had time to start using it yet.
Elvy H.
So far so good! I spent an hour or so with my dog on the first day she was wearing it. She has been a serial escapee until now. Very simple to set up and seems to be effective. Thank you for the peace of mind Pawtronic gives me. Ruby (the dog) thanks you for her new found freedom!
Brenda O.
These were very easy to set up. Love the ability to set my boundaries and not limited to a circle.
Melodie M.
Easy to set up using the app. Very precise and easy to change your boundaries.
Dorcas C.
Set up with the app made setting boundaries easy although we are still tweaking the exact locations. Both dogs adapted quickly to the collar and no shock required…..the sound and vibration was enough to stop them in their tracks and they very quickly learned just how far they could go. If the screen on the collar was thinner and had less info that would be ideal. It’s heavy for our smaller 10 lb dog. The app is easier to use for that information and just really need to see how much battery life is left on the collar
Sean D.
It works great for our husky/german shepherd mix and only has to beep for her. I do wish the battery would hold a charge longer.
Kimberly W.
I'm happy with the Pawtronics series 2. The wireless fence app was easy to use and I love being able to customize the shape of my fence with the polygon feature. I also really appreciate that the handheld remote is very light weight. I do wish that this series offered GPS tracking as well but I am happy with my purchase.
Sandra K.
Took a hot minute to set up, but once we did, with a couple of trials and errors, it is now fully functioning. We are moving to a new house. The old house was set up with another system with underground wires and a collar. Therefore, my pup is used to the collar. On the old property, I have been in training mode to get her used to the new system. Thankfully, this took a day, and without the use of the shocking system. She is responding to the sound and vibration beautifully. Next is the move to the new property and using only the new Pawtronics system. I am hopeful that she will still only need the alarm and vibration mode, not the shock. She will have to learn her new boundaries, but I anticipate it being just as easy to learn as the old property. Setting up the 2 properties in the app was simple using Google Maps and diagonal, not circular, mapping.
Jeff K.
The collars work great! My 2 dogs back away as soon as it beeps.
The gps is a little confusing at the start, but we figured it out pretty quickly. In order for it to work it has to be out of buildings, so it will take a minute to connect to a satellite after it exits a building.
You can add as many collars to it as you want and add as many boundaries per collar as you want. I would suggest that you read the instruction manual thoroughly and tinker with the app a little bit. Also the gps locator only works if you are within Bluetooth range and it is enabled.
(Everything else like boundaries .ect requires Bluetooth to change)
But other then figuring out the app it works amazing.
Shonna P.
The collar and remote work well. I’m still learning the app.
Christina S.
So far so good. Dogs havent found a hole in the fence yet nor have they wandered off. So pretty happy so far.
Lucas T.
It took a few hours for me to figure out how to set up the collars, fence, and training settings, but they work great. It took almost no time to train them to stay within the marked boundary. Our dogs stayed on our property pretty well before, but they had been chasing cars that go past our acreage and occasionally wandering over to the neighbors. They haven't chased any cars, and they have stayed on our place since I began using the collars. Mission accomplished. Pawtronic was much more affordable than other options i looked at that could have a custom shaped fence. A circular boundary would not work for us. Highly recommend!
Kenneth B.
Functions as it should. I like the variable settings for deterrence. GPS is a bit finicky. Fence line will move 15ft between uses and alert in approved areas. The remote is very useful to keep the puppy out of gardens with in the boundaries. Overall so far so good.
Lacie L.
These collars have been the best investment for our dogs safety. Worth every penny.
David W.
It seems the boundary changes a foot or 2 each day without changing anything.
Sarah W.
I liked the collar so much I wound up buying a second, it has helped keep our pups off the black top, I love that the boundary covers our house plus the two farm fields on each side of the house. Still trying to trouble shoot the collar however because if they nap under the trailers or near the house the collar will lose signal and if it is not connected to the satellite the fence boundary will not work. It does take a good amount of time to get the collar to connect to the satellite so potentially if they were sleeping under the trailer and then took off for the road it will not stop them fast enough. I did have to take the time to train the boundary areas and so far I can tell it has worked.
Mickey C.
This is JUST what we needed! GPS fence works well to tell Lexi her boundaries in our yard!
Sheri J.
So far it has been great. Still fine tuning the fences in the app but love how easy that is. Works well with 3 dogs too!
Jade J.
My puppy loves getting a break from his harness and wondering freely on the property!! We live by a road and he started wondering a little to far to be comfortable about, needed a quick easy and on the cheaper side solution. Safe to say I am extremely pleased. Worked exactly as expected and only took him 2 to 3 days to figure it out and be good to go without worry:)
theresa h.
Our dog quickly understood the property boundaries and listens for the beep and turns around immediately. So far the set up (with customer service help and who were amazing) and the quick training, I give a 10/10. Thank you!!!
Sandra L.
Really do love not having buried wires and ability to control type of correction when a “mistake” is made. One problem I have is setting and maintaining the center point. For our property, the center point has to be between our house and garage, about 4 ft., and we do not get a strong gps signal there. What can you recommend?
Kevin E.
It is a really cool idea . If it would work with all the tree coverage I have. I just need something more consistent so he can learn his boundaries
James D.
This unit is a life saver for me and Benny. Keeps him in the boundary area and gives me peace of mind that he's not run off. Benny's a fast learner, the unit also works for training (if you work with your pet) using the beep and vibrate modes. My dog (Staffordshire bull terrier) is responding well, just have treats on hand to reward when he does good.
Thank you Pawtronic.
Alana F.
We like it, haven't figured out how to use the actual boundary from my phone but set up the radius from the collar itself. I am not a fan of the battery life we were hoping to get more than 12 hours of charge I work 12 hour shifts and have to drive a ways to work. Would've liked atleast 3 days worth of charge so we could be gone a weekend and not have to worry about the dogs.
LaToya F.
So easy to use and set. Major change in my dog's behavior.
Brent A.
Its a great collar but loses signal sometimes.
Diane H.
Unfortunately my dog has a short neck so the device itself was to uncomfortable for her. She wouldn't like it on her neck. I was so hoping it would fit her. This company was great and I've been able to return it for a small restocking fee.
LaDonna M.
It is getting the job done! My dog was the escape artist of the year. She would chase cars and run off all over the woods which meant cockaburs and ticks for me to remove. She now chases the birds IN THE YARD! I can now relax when I let her outside and she enjoys the freedom of moving all around the yard. My only complaint is that the charge only lasts for two days but hey that is not big thing. I just plug it in every night. I’m not a fan of the app but it did the job when I needed to create a fence. I loved seeing the layers to help me draw my fence. We don’t have the bear GPS signals but as I said it has slowed her roll.
Patricia W.
Great training for our dog without being shocked.
Richard F.
Arrived quickly and was very easy to set up.
Teri K.
Relatively easy to set up once i found the right section of the booklet. I'm not using the handset at all and have the collar set to beep and vibrate, which is effective for now. If he starts wandering again I'll have to add the shock-at a very low setting. Overall, very pleased!
Connor H.
The collar has been great, everything works as it should, easy to setup and my dog responds very well to it! Only issue we have had is the gps loosing signal for a few seconds because we have a lot of woods around our house and it blocks the signal. But I still think it’s a great product! I love the options it has.
Tina D.
Great customer service. I had a hard time reading the small print on the instruction booklet. I contacted them and they talked me through setting up my 2 dog collars. A+ highly recommend
scot c.
It has only been tested, and not put to use, but appears to be a very good product.
Bailey G.
I love these collars with the exception of of few more minor things. First, not really the fault of the collar but it does loose gps connection as soon as they walk under a metal roof. We have a shouse so they still work with the controller and the app but as soon as they walk onto the patio or front walkway signal lost. And it takes a bit longer for it to find a signal than I expected so my dogs can easily make it to the road before it connects. Second, it is not the simplest to turn the GPS fence on/off from the collar. I have ran into a couple of times now that I have the hand control with me and not my phone and want to leave our fenced area but I have to take their collars off to navigate to and change the fence mode to off. It would also be helpful to be able to share GPS fences across multiple collars. I can't get the maps to match 100% for both dogs so one dog just gets to go 10 feet further than the other dog. Lastly, I'm 50/50 on the design of changing intensities. While it's nice that I can connect 2 collars to one remote (would be even better if I could connect both collars to both remotes) and the insities are set for each collar. Determining what insity level to set was a little inconvenient having to do multiple steps to increase. But once we found the sweet spot for each dog it's been a non issue.
Overall I would still highly recommend these collars. My dogs learned to obey them very quickly with relatively no training. The activity stats are fun to see. I love that I can have a gps fence and a hand control, it's convient when I take them for a walk down the road I don't have to change collars. My dogs are 1 and 2 years old and rough players so they have been through the mud and put to the test and have held up great! Again overall I LOVE these collars there's just a few convience things I would like to see upgraded.
1 collar
