PetSafe Stubborn Dog In-Ground Fence | Adjustable Correction & Tone+Vibration

Freedom Within Boundaries for Stubborn Dogs

Give your pet the room to explore your outdoor space responsibly with the PetSafe Stubborn Dog In-Ground Fence. Designed for dogs that are harder to train, this system offers a robust set of tools to help establish safe boundaries without sacrificing your pet’s sense of adventure. With five levels of adjustable static correction and a tone-plus-vibration mode, the fence provides flexible options that can adapt to your dog’s pace and temperament while remaining simple to manage for the whole family.

Key Benefits at a Glance

• Five levels of static correction plus a tone-only and vibration option for signaling when boundaries are approached
• Automatic run-through resistance that increases correction if your dog tests the edge, with a safety shut-off after 30 seconds
• Waterproof, battery-powered collar that is submersible up to 3 feet and fits necks from 6 to 28 inches
• Expandable and customizable by yard, with separate wire gauge choices to match durability needs
• Supports multiple pets with additional collars (sold separately), ideal for households with more than one animal

The system is built to respond to real-world outdoor use. If a dog approaches the boundary, the correction level can adjust to reinforce the concept of the safe play area. The tone-plus-vibration mode offers an alternative training cue for dogs that may respond best to auditory and tactile signals. This makes the setup versatile for different training styles and living environments, from sunny backyards to shaded yards with uneven terrain.

Customization and Expansion

Customization starts with the wire: in-ground wire is sold separately, and you can choose between Standard (20 Gauge) and Heavy Duty (16 Gauge) wire in lengths that fit your yard. The boundary is expandable, so you can add more wire to cover larger areas as your needs evolve. With additional collars, your system can safely contain multiple pets, turning a single yard boundary into a multi-pet containment solution without changing the core system.

Durable Hardware and Support

The included collar is designed for daily outdoor use, featuring full waterproofing and a comfortable, adjustable fit. It runs on replaceable batteries for easy maintenance. Since 1988, PetSafe has focused on safe, healthy pet living and practical, trainer-backed solutions, backed by U.S.-based customer care to help with questions or setup guidance.

What You’ll Need to Know

Wire gauge choice, collar sizing, and occasional expansion are part of the setup considerations. This system is intended for pets 8 pounds and up, with various accessories available to tailor the experience to your yard size, terrain, and pet population. By selecting the right gauge and adding additional collars over time, you can adapt the boundary to changing outdoor spaces and family needs.
