The Best Invisible Dog Fences of 2023

While it requires much more labor to install than wireless systems, the Dogtra E-Fence is the perfect underground dog fence option for large or irregular shaped containment areas.

The collar offers two different modes. One is a pager-only mode that vibrates when your dog approaches the boundary, warning them to back up. The other mode is pager/correction, which will warn the dog with both vibration and a static correction as they approach the limit. An advanced filtering system stops outside sources from triggering your dog’s collar, reducing the number of confusing accidental corrections. This makes it easier for you to teach your dog the limits of your fence without interruption.

The PetSafe wireless fence pet containment system gives your pet a range of up to half an acre from the indoor transmitter. The collars give both tones and a static correction that can be adjusted according to your dog’s needs and personality. If you have more than one pet, never fear - the system can accommodate an unlimited number of compatible collars.

The PetSafe system also includes correction-free reentry. This means that when your dog obeys the collar and returns home, they will not receive any corrective static when they pass over the boundary again.

The Wiez GPS Wireless Dog Fence uses GPS signals from 12 satellites to create a massive boundary area for your pet up to 776 acres. Because that boundary is set by satellites that communicate directly with your pet’s collar, there is no need to have a separate transmitter in your home. This makes the system fully portable. All you need to do is set a new GPS boundary on the collar and it will contain your dog. Plus, you won’t have to reprogram the collar as it stores the beep, vibration, and static correction settings you’ve previously established.

The one drawback of any GPS system is that they can be easily affected by weather and overhead obstructions. We imagine it would be pretty stressful to worry about a signal popping in and out.

No matter if you have a large or small yard, the PetSafe YardMax In-Ground Fence is a standard wire-based system that can contain dogs in any shaped space up to ten acres. This fence works with unlimited collars for multiple dogs or multi-pet households.

The waterproof collars offer five static correction levels, as well as a tone-only mode. A short-range transmitter, the Pawz Away Outdoor barrier, is also included. Camouflaged to look like a rock, the barrier works to keep your pets away from specific areas of your yard inside the fence line. This is great for naughty dogs who like to get into the trash or tear through your gardens.

The eXtreme dog fence, a US-manufactured wire-based system, has a coverage area of up to 6 acres in nearly any shape or configuration your yard requires. The collars are waterproof in up to ten feet of water, and offer seven correction levels and even a sound-only mode. This makes it easy to configure the right level of correction for your pup. The system also features frequency encoding, which prevents neighboring electric dog fence systems from interfering with your pet’s collar.
