About the PetSafe Stubborn Dog In-ground Fence™
Not just for stubborn dogs
Teach your tenacious friend to stay safe in his own yard with the PetSafe Stubborn Dog In-ground Fence.
Not just for stubborn dogs
I know, it's called the Stubborn Dog In-Ground Fence, but it's great for dogs who are hard of hearing, too. The collar device vibrates before administering static correction, so dogs with auditory issues get a fair warning when they're approaching the barrier. But it does offer the option of stronger static correction for dogs who just don't want to mind.
How it works
Just bury the included wire — laid out in whatever configuration you desire — to establish a perimeter for your pooch. Attach the included wireless device to your dog's collar, and he'll get a warning beep, followed by progressively stronger static correction, any time he approaches the invisible boundary. The included flags give a helpful visual cue for sighted dogs, while the vibration alerts fuzzy friends who might be blind or deaf.
If your pet truly is just stubborn, ignores warnings, and continues past the wire, she'll receive progressively stronger corrections from the collar until returning inside the perimeter, or until the safety time-out activates after 15 seconds. Before long, she'll know exactly where the no-go zone is, and she won't test it.
Part of a whole-home containment system
The collar receiver works with other PetSafe containment systems. Place a rock-shaped Outdoor Pet Barrier near the garbage cans or flower beds to establish additional no-go zones inside the perimeter. A Threshold Barrier can make specific rooms inside the house off-limits.

Product Research
Features
Overview: The PetSafe Stubborn Dog In-Ground Fence (PIG00-10777) is designed with higher intensity correction levels than other systems to corral that persistent dog that won't stay in the yard. It also works well with hard-of-hearing dogs. The system includes the transmitter, receiver collar, 500' of boundary wire, 50 boundary marking flags, surge protector, and installation accessories.
System Design: The buried wire creates a boundary for your dog. Your dog's receiver collar detects the radio signal traveling through the wire, emitting a tone and vibrating as it nears the boundary. If he continues to approach the boundary, the collar will deliver a safe Static Correction, which will persuade him to stay within the containment area. The type and intensity of the correction is adjustable. The Stubborn Dog In-Ground Fence is effective for pets over 8 pounds.
Installation: Burying the boundary wire is most effective way of installing the In-Ground Fence system. The wire should be buried approximately 1-3 inches deep. You can also attach the boundary wire to an existing fence. The fence transmitter should be installed in a dry, well ventilated, protected area. The boundary wire should also be connected to the included surge protector. The boundary flags should be placed short of the boundary wire, and approximately 10' apart, to create a visual warning zone for your pet. The kit comes with a 500' spool of direct burial boundary wire, enough for approximately 1/3 acre. Additional 500' spools are available for purchase, if needed. Here is the amount of wire required based on the size of the area:
| Area Size | Length of Wire |
|---|---|
| 1/4 acre | 415 feet |
| 1/3 acre | 480 feet |
| 1/2 acre | 590 feet |
| 1 acre | 835 feet |
| 2 acres | 1180 feet |
| 5 acres | 1870 feet |
| 10 acres | 2800 feet |
| 25 acres | 4500 feet |
Receiver Collar: The Receiver Collar comes with two short contact points that touch the neck of your dog. Longer contact points (supplied) may be needed for dogs with long or thick fur. The waterproof collar fits dogs with neck sizes from 6 to 28 inches, and can be trimmed to fit. The receiver is powered by a standard 9-volt alkaline battery (included). The receiver collar will emit a Warning Tone and vibrate when your pet enters the Warning Zone. If he continues into the Correction Zone, the collar will deliver a Static Correction (if set to Level 2 or higher). The Receiver Collar's response levels include:
| Static Correction Level | Receiver Collar Function | Temperament of Pet |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | No Static Correction; Tone + Vibration | Initial Training Mode |
| 2 | Low Static Correction | Timid |
| 3 | Medium Static Correction | Timid or Average |
| 4 | Medium High Static Correction | Average or High Energy |
| 5 | High Static Correction | High Energy |
Training: It is important to properly train your dog after installing the In-Ground Fence. This should be done gradually, in short, but frequent, 10-15 minute sessions over several days, in order to achieve success. The training outline includes five phases:
| Days | Goals | Activity and Static Correction Level |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Boundary Awareness | Using tone and vibration (Level 1) to teach the boundary of the Pet Area |
| 2-4 | Boundary Awareness, continued | Introduce Static Correction (Level 2), teaching your pet to stay in the Pet Area and respect the boundary. |
| 5-8 | Distraction Phase | Train your pet to stay within the Pet Area, even with distractions outside of the boundary. (Level 2 or higher) |
| 9-14 | Unleashed Supervision | Give your pet free run of the Pet Area off the leash. |
| 15-30 | Pet Monitoring | Your pet should be ready to run freely within the Pet Area. You should monitor your dog regularly during this phase. |
