Every dog owner knows the heart-stopping moment when their beloved pet dashes out the door or jumps the fence. At PetHey, we understand this fear, which is why we've developed two advanced wireless containment systems: the F910Plus Radar Waterproof Wireless Dog Fence and the F830Plus GPS Wireless Dog Fence. In this comprehensive guide, we'll explain how these innovative solutions work and help you choose the right one for your furry friend.
Understanding Wireless Dog Fences
Traditional fences can be expensive, unsightly, and sometimes ineffective against determined diggers or jumpers. Wireless dog fences offer a modern solution by creating invisible boundaries that keep your pet safely contained without obstructing your view or requiring permanent installation.
These systems typically consist of:
-
A transmitter that creates the containment zone
-
A receiver collar worn by your dog
-
Adjustable correction levels
-
Warning signals before correction
1. What is a Radar Wireless Dog Fence?
The PetHey F910Plus Radar Waterproof Wireless Dog Fence uses advanced radar technology to create a precise circular boundary around your home. Here's how it works:
Key Features:
-
Creates a consistent 1/2 mile circular containment zone (adjustable)
-
Radar technology provides stable signal transmission
-
Waterproof collar with progressive correction system
-
Suitable for dogs 10-100 lbs
-
Quick 10-minute setup with no wires to bury
How Radar Technology Works:
The base station emits radio signals in all directions, creating a circular boundary. When your dog approaches this invisible line, the collar first emits a warning beep. If your pet continues forward, it delivers a safe static correction that intensifies as they get closer to the boundary.
Best For:
-
Residential yards with clear circular shapes
-
Owners who want consistent boundary accuracy
-
Situations where GPS signals might be unreliable
-
Budget-conscious pet parents
2. What is a GPS Wireless Dog Fence?
The PetHey F830Plus GPS Wireless Dog Fence utilizes satellite technology to create customizable containment areas. This advanced system offers unique benefits:
Key Features:
-
GPS technology allows flexible boundary shapes
-
Covers up to 3,000 acres (with additional base stations)
-
10-level adjustable correction
-
Rechargeable battery with 2-week lifespan
-
Real-time tracking capability (with compatible devices)
How GPS Technology Works:
Instead of creating a circular boundary, The GPS system allows you to directly map out customized safe zones. The dog collar utilizes satellite signals to pinpoint your dog's exact location and delivers correction when they approach the virtual boundary line.
Best For:
-
Large or irregularly shaped properties
-
Active owners who take dogs to multiple locations
-
Situations requiring tracking capabilities

Training Your Dog with a Wireless Fence
Both systems require proper training for optimal results. We recommend:
-
Flag Training (3-5 days): Place flags along the boundary and walk your dog near them while keeping them on a leash. Let them hear the warning beep and retreat.
-
Supervised Freedom (1 week): Allow your dog off-leash but monitor their reactions to the boundary signals.
-
Independent Testing: After 2 weeks, most dogs understand their limits and stay safely within bounds.
Remember: Wireless fences are containment systems, not punishment devices. Always use the lowest effective correction level and combine with positive reinforcement.
