#1 · Price seen: $129.99

BHCEY Wireless Dog Fence

The cheapest way into a wireless boundary, and it doubles as a remote trainer for up to three dogs. The boundary adjusts across 16 steps from 30 to 800 ft; the brand is less established than PetSafe or Dogtra.

#2 · Price seen: $249.99

PetSafe Stay & Play Wireless Fence with Replaceable Battery Collar

The same Stay & Play circle (up to 3/4 acre) with a collar that runs on a swappable RFA-67 battery, so there's no charging, at a lower price than the rechargeable kit.

#3 · Price seen: $279.99

Dogtra SMART FENCE

Adds an 85 dB in-home alarm and app alerts when your dog nears or leaves the boundary, with 24 correction levels and no subscription. Outdoor use only, for dogs 25 lb and up.

#4 · Price seen: $289.99

PetSafe Wireless Pet Containment System

PetSafe's classic portable fence: a circle 10–180 ft across, up to 1/2 acre. Keep the transmitter 3 ft from metal or the boundary shrinks.

#5 · Price seen: $324.99

PetSafe Stay & Play Compact Wireless Fence

A compact transmitter covering up to 3/4 acre that sets up in 1–2 hours, with a rechargeable collar lasting about 3 weeks and fitting dogs from 5 lb.

#6 · Price seen: $344.99

PetSafe Stay & Play Wireless Fence for Stubborn Dogs

The Stay & Play circle with a stronger set of static levels for hard-to-contain dogs. Use it only with careful training, and try the standard kit first.

How to choose between them

Wireless fences draw a circle around the transmitter, so they suit fairly open, round yards; long or narrow lots waste space or leave gaps. Metal roofs, siding and vehicles can shrink the boundary.

Any electronic fence needs weeks of flag training, and a determined dog can run through the boundary. Use one alongside supervision, never as the only barrier near a road.
