PetSafe Basic In-Ground Fence System
The lowest-cost buried-wire fence here: 500 ft of wire covers 1/3 acre and the system expands to 5 acres. Four static levels plus tone-only mode.
PetSafe Classic In-Ground Fence
Adds a vibration warning before static, which many dogs learn from, and a rechargeable collar. Expands to 5 acres; a 2-dog kit is sold too.
PetSafe In-Ground Fence
The jump to 25-acre capacity at a modest price, with a collar on a swappable RFA-67 battery lasting about 1–2 months.
PetSafe Stubborn Dog In-Ground Fence
Built for determined dogs, with a tone-plus-vibration mode PetSafe says suits hearing-impaired dogs, and coverage to 25 acres. Runs on a 9-volt battery.
PetSafe Rechargeable In-Ground Fence System
Covers up to 25 acres with up to 4,500 ft of wire, and the collar recharges for up to 2 months per charge.
Dogtra E-FENCE 3500
Dogtra's rechargeable fence with 8 correction levels and the most acreage per dollar here: up to 40 acres from a 500 ft starter spool.
PetSafe YardMax Rechargeable In-Ground Fence
The longest collar battery here, up to 3 months per charge, and PetSafe claims up to 30% more usable yard than other in-ground fences. Expands to 5.5 acres.
SportDOG Rechargeable In-Ground Fence System
For farms and big land: 1.33 acres of wire included and expansion to 100 acres, with a DryTek collar submersible to 25 ft.
How to choose between them
Price the wire as well as the kit: the included wire covers a small area, and each extra spool and splice adds cost and labor. A wire break silences the whole boundary, so buy a break finder or keep a spare spool.
On large land, collars with long battery life and waterproof ratings save the most trouble. Train with flags for several weeks before relying on the system.
