What is the OT's experience with these? I need the kind I can bury around the perimeter of the property.

Please suggest.

We bought this one from Tractor Supply back in April...

And it's worked really well. The battery in the collar lasted from April until this last weekend when we had to replace it. It covers like half an acre which is plenty for our girl's little dog.

Sport Dog SDF 100

I purchased this about 3 years ago and installed it myself. Works great still. Within the first year, I believe lightning struck the loop in the yard. It was under waranty still and Sport Dog replaced it. I purchased a lighning protector for the second unit and drove a new grounding rod for it as well.

It took a full day for me to bury ~700 ft of wire. I used an walk-behind edger and went thru 2 or 3 blades.

My dog is really smart and very obedient, so training was pretty quick and she has never broken out. I followed the training suggested very closely and it worked.

Good luck

One more thing about he one we bought. There is literally zero hassle to installing it. You just plug in the base at what will be the center of your dog's range and put the collar on the dog. My wife had ours up and running before I even got home from work. As for the dog, he only tested it once that first day and now he will turn back soon as he hears that beep.

We would walk ours around the perimeter a few times early on, with the collar on, so she knew the limits. After that, we were able to remove a lot of the flags. Our dog never really tested it much. Every time we would take her past it, we would make her sit at the edge before we would tell her it was okay to cross. Works perfectly.
