We currently have a wired pet safe fence around our yard. We are looking for something to put in the bushes to keep the dogs out. Will this rock work

They work with the "Ultrasmart System" collars. I am not sure about the other fence systems. I have three "rocks" and they work fine with the current collars.I would check with the company if you have a different fence than the "Ultrasmart" .

Yes. Our family dog was chewing the insulating foam on our A/C unit, but this effectively deterred him from going near it. Range adjustment should be expected till you are satisfied with it.

The rock will work if you have the correct collars so I believe it depends on what model fence you have. We have the Pet Safe Yardmax Rechargeable In-ground Pet Fencing System. Rock works great!

If you have the collar that goes with it, it will zap when the collar gets close enough. If you don't have the collar, it won't do anything. I don't know if there are any other collars that work with it or not.

Yes, it will work great. I have the Invisible Fence on over 2 acres and have a dog that likes to get into trouble in several of our garden areas; I have 3 of these and the nice part is that the effective area can be decreased from 16' down to 2', one is by my front door and it doesn't impede the dog from comming in. The dog will have to wear a second collar for the rock.

It will definitely work BUT we found out it doesn't work with other systems.....you have to buy the collar that goes with it. It did keep our dogs out of specific areas of the yard, though, it's definitely not strong enough like a wireless fence to keep dogs "in" the yard.

Ive only used on the outside fence, not on the inside. The dogs seemed fine with it as it has district smell. I actually liked it but I'm sure its not good for you. Ive only had one rattle snake since I used it, and two rodent snakes. Very small ones. Seems to help a little.

Not sure if it works for anything....it's rock and all I could ever tell it a rock....go outside and get a rock that is the right size and give it magical qualities and use instead of paying for a square rock....I serious

I would say wouldn't work. The tarp just lays on the ground and is only secure at the posts. If the animals want to get in there. They will get in there. I had problems with mice nesting in my lawn tractor in mine. I hope his helps

Absolutely not, if you clean it, you need to fully allow it to dry. You'd short out the rock if you immerse it in water while plugged in and electrocute your pet and possibly yourself.

I don't know if really works. It depends on who you talk to. I have talked to rattlesnake experts that say there is no way it works and others that say it helps. I have tired it because I have a dog and am willing to try anything to keep the rattlesnakes in my area out of the yard. You can also do special fencing. Bottom line: I feel it's worth a try.

A fence would need to be set up around the area to be protected from the dog. The wires will need to be 4-6 inches apart and a ground rod will need to be installed. Our Consumer Relations Team can be reached at 1-855-5-HAVAHART (1-855-542-8242) for any additional assistance.

YES, absolutely! I have installed mine on my wooden picket fence and it works fine. The sun will fade the color of the wire, but it hasn't cracked the plastic coating yet on mine. I have area by gate underground so no one will trip over wire. I simply stapled the wire to my fence, but BE CAREFUL not to pierce the wire casing with the staples. FYI if you have your wire near a metal fence or anything metal it may affect the signal. I have an above ground pool and the collars will beep if my dogs walk near it even tho the wire is away from pool on my fence frame. It's like it's power travels from the fence to around the pool metal framework. Hope this info helps. YES, absolutely! I have installed mine on my wooden picket fence and it works fine.

I'm no electrician, but doubt this would work - the wire needs to be suspended by insulators, which is accomplished by the plastic poles in the kit. If you ran the wire along the bottom of a fence, it would likely contact the ground and complete the electrical arc by that means, rather than through the dog. I suppose it's possible that the wood could act as an insulator without grounding out, but you would have to install it carefully - and any time the wood became wet, it would not act as an insulator. Why can't you instead run the wire on the poles a couple of inches inside the fence, 6" up from the ground? I would think that would work fine. The shock amount is certainly enought to discourage a medium dog.

I wouldn't know the answer to that for sure - but would not hesitate to use with an invisible fence. This is not an electric type mechanism but rather one of kinetic energy - thus based on the dogs movement...as they move they create body energy and the tag works to keep critters away...not related to any electrical devices etc. I believe on the Shoo Tag site you can reach out to them and there are FAQ's, I'm sure they can clarify 100%.

no rule about it, just deep enough to keep it from getting damaged or in your way. I have left mine on top of the ground for several months (because it is only a temporary fix for me) and have had no problems from it. I have also wrapped wire around a low strand of barbed wire (because I already had barbed wire fence for horses) in the past and it did fine that way to keep my dogs in for over a year (at which time I moved from that property, it may still be there). Just make sure you get a heavy enough guage of wire for whatever purpose you have in mind!

This rock is not really that big.. But the answer to your question more depends on what kind of pet you want it for. The thermostat on the rock is nice tho

No, that is wrong. I use this wire with the PetSafe YardMax and it works perfectly fine.Perhaps you are confusing twisted wire with stranded wire. Twisted wire, when referring to in ground dog fences, is when two different wires (stranded or solid core) are twisted together to create a "dead spot" in your fence system.

It might. It did not stop my dig from jumping the fence. But it did keep my cousins dog from wondering too far off on the beach.

You're in luck. My ex-girlfriend is a deer biologist.I texted her and asked if an electric fence designed to keep dogs out of gardens would work against deer and she texted back that yes, it should work for deer.

It is metal and will work perfect for a snake barrier. I have used it on a pigeon cage and under a porch for keeping out skunks but I am sure without a doubt it will also keep out snakes if you make sure you didn't leave any holes that the snake could get around, over or under this wire.
