what if you want more area for pet to run...say more than 1/2 acre

The area is adjustable. I'm not sure if it can be adjusted for more than 1/2 acre. My yard is about 3/4 acre, so this is perfect for our needs. Sorry I can't answer the question any better than this. There are similar products available for larger yards. My parents bought a similar product called an underground fence. It is the same concept, but the wire has to be buried along the perimeter of your yard. If you have a larger yard this may be better suited for your needs. They have 10 acres, allowing the dogs 5 to roam.

You can buy a second transmitter. Kind of expensive but worth it.We have 2 transmitters with 3 dogs on them. We keep 1 transmitter near our bedroom window on the south end of the house. The other transmitter is in the north end of our detached garage, which has them well over 100 feet apart. Having 2 transmitters gives our dogs a HUGE area to roam in. :)

I don't have mine turned to a large area because I live in a small house on a small property. The system works great for us but I don't know the maximum area that it will cover. I love it.

Depends on where you set up the control apparatus. We set it up close to the house and it covered a quarter acre easily.

You can use multiple "home bases". Position them so that the boundaries overlap by 5-10 feet. Each one will only have it's own maximum radius, but as the collar enters another "zone", it will pick up the transmitter from that new base station.

Yeah! It would be nice if Amazon would be sure they have all of the dimensions when they put something online. I bought two of them and really like them. Bought one to put in the ground as a watering hole for my 250 acre neighborhood's dogs and the other for whatever - It's 9 1/4" high. CEH

Glad to get the information you provided, Jodi P. But hoping your dog is let out more often than what you said ".... is let out to the yard in it at least once a day!" More often would be much better-- just saying

I think size will be a factor, if legs are lifted when the dog relieves themself it may not have enough square footage to work.

It's about 36-39" high so it depends upon the size of your dogs. Two would definitely work to cover the whole space.

No. Not with that much to tend to. My yard area is only 20 ft x 50. Works great for me.

We have a quarter acrea lot and its more than enough . We have tried to see how loud they are on occasions.

I read a review that said its best to have at least 2 sq ft of airspace inside. I would go a little bigger is space allows you to.

I think you could connect another set of these together to make it bigger - we connected a crate to ours so our mastiff could have a place to sleep.

Probably, if you have the space for it. Mine is outside and my shih tzu lives it!

As long as you teach your dog to 'go' there...you just have to pick a size that is big enough for him/her.

You can add it to a fence. You would have to double up on the pet fence and run a second path back to where it started. Here's the manual. Look at page 10. http://www.petsafe.net/getattachment/e9a1b9a2-f19a-4c2c-a7c3-da71e27b5bed/PRF-3004W-In-Ground-Fence-Manual.pdf

Not sure you can, I do not use the wire side of the unit. You may need to go with more of the contact type fence. Con being not only will your pet be discouraged, but you will if you touch it. Sorry, there are limited options. I have a digger and she just goes elsewhere to dig out of range.

I have a fenced in back yard that isn't very big and it's just the right size. I'm not much on dimensions.

look at the measurements and determine your needs. a small dog I would think too!

You can cut the collar to fit if you have too. I had a German Shepard that I tried it with on two acres and it didn't work right for me. My dog would run out of the perimeter. So I sold it. But I didn't like it.

It's pretty simple with two people. I had my 14yr old help me. If you plan ahead it is easier, but honestly I just started unrolling and walked around the part of my yard I wanted my dogs to be allowed in. There's about 3ft or more of a space where your dog actually gets correction before they actually get to the wire. Put the wire a bit further than you want your dog to be able to go. Some dogs are quicker than others at getting this so make sure you tke the time to walk your dog around the whole perimeter.
