Today we are going to look at the pros and cons of the PetSafe Wireless Pet Containment System PIF-300 review.

Firstly if you have a dog under 8lbs or it’s neck is less than 6″ then this wireless system will not be for right for your pet. So lets look at the setup of this wireless containment system. According to the  Petsafe the manufactures it should take about 30 minutes to set up, and to be fair many of the people that have purchased this product have been quite surprised how quickly they could set it up.

So how does the PetSafe Wireless Pet Containment System PIF-300 work?

Your dog is free to run and play in the stay zone but if he gets to close to the boundary line the collar gives out a warning beep. If they continue to move towards the boundary, a mild static shock (know as a correction) is given to the dog to encourage him to stay in the safe zone.

The PetSafe Wireless Fence pet containment system is a revolutionary concept that provides the safest, simplest form of pet containment ever. Plug in the transmitter somewhere inconspicuous in your home. The transmitter emits a 17.5 kHz radio signal around your home. Your pet wears a lightweight receiver collar that “listens” for the signal. While the collar is receiving the signal, your dog is free to run and play in your yard. When he approaches the boundary of the signal area, he receives a w
