This dog fence system is great. I have been in the market to find a great dog fence system. And I found it on the FlexPetz website. This dog fence system has met all my requirements of being an excellent product. The Yardmax feature makes this system very versatile and valuable to me. I have a smaller yard and this feature maximizes the area that my dog can roam. This system is great and provides tremendous value to dog owners.

My little Sasha learned so quick. I'm so proud of her, and happy with the Yardmax fence I got from Flexpetz. We have a half acre and needed all the containment space we could afford for Sasha.
The Yardmax only sends shocks outward from the yard, so no shock inside the wire. This is perfect.
We trained Sasha so quicky and now she is a happy, safe puppy doggie.
Thanks Flexpetz. (Posted on 4/30/2015)

I needed some advice for the right electric dog fence for my Cocker Spaniel. I called FLEXPETZ because they offer free tech support and I could not be happier with the results. Given my lack of knowledge in this area I felt there service was focused on getting me the right advise not just sell a product. The tech asked all the right questions and drilled down on the right system for my pet and yard. The Yard Max was the right choice because I have a small yard and this new technology allows Kristy (My cocker) to use the entire yard. I also purchased the cheep factory wire. I am a renter and plan on moving in a year. I did not want to buy the high quality wire and leave it behind. The factory grade wire was the perfect solution and it saved me money today.

We went with the factory grade package. The Tech a FLEXPETZ gave us the most common sense advice on this purchase. We are only going to be in our house for about a year and were planning on purchasing a Pro Grade system. After discussing this important purchase with the Tech at FLEXPETZ we decided to go with a factory grade wire so we can leave it behind when we move. This save us money today and lots of effort in removing a wire for re-installation at our new house. We will be back to buy the Extreme wire to install at our dream home.

I purchased this system to help keep my pit mix from jumping the fence. The fence works great but the wire that is sent with it is junk. I contacted flexpetz and was actually surprised to find genuine and kind customer service from the folks over there (not common nowadays). I hate salespeople so like doing my own research, but the people at flexpetz were helpful enough to let me know about the different choices in wire and pros and cons of each one. They of course recommended their extreme wire but it was in a non pushy informative way. If you are looking to purchase give them a call as there is more to these fences than I realized.

We have a smaller 1/4 acre lot and got this system on the advice from one of the techs at flexpetz. We really were not looking to spend too much and after a bit of research all the systems seemed to work basically the same so I had a hard time justifying the higher price for this system. Boy was I wrong. After setting up the system and seeing how these work I now see the benefit of having the extra room with the transmitter in yardmax mode. The pro-grade system was also recommended and after seeing the wire that comes with the system I now see why. The system is working fine for now, but as soon as we start dealing with wire breaks I will probably be coming back and springing for the good stuff. I would definitely recommend this system and if in the budget go with pro-grade as it would be nice to only have to install once.

I was amazed by how effective the Full Yard mode function is. Our pup goes right up to the dog fence and stops. Even after walking him up to the flags, following all the suggested training steps, he still ran for the street when he snuck out of the house. He cleared the wire and suddenly yelped three times as he came around 180 and as soon as he was back in the yard, he relaxed. He hasn't crossed since. He hears the tone and backs off. My life is SO much less stressful.

We also have two of the indoor barriers away pet barrier than work nicely with the collar. The bedrooms are all upstairs and off limits, so we have a barrier at the landing and we have one at the entrance to the kids' playroom (cluttered with every possible small, very chewable item you can think of).

Flexpetz reps said they were working on a remote training remote that would work with the Yardmax collar. This would be awesome!

Our dog also digs, so we got one of the outdoor paws away rocks" and it works with the dog fence collar perfectly, keeps him out of the flower beds and away from the garbage can. (Posted on 7/3/2014)

YardMax system with upgraded 16 gauge wire (1000 feet) and twisted wire cost about $425 delivered. Add on the cost of renting a trencher for $70 your at $500 for a quality system. Unless it's totally dry, I recommend a standard landscape edger over the edger that buries the wire as you go. It's slightly more work to put the wire in after the trench is dug but any type of damp or wet soil and the wire burying trencher gets clogged.
I installed the system myself and it took a total of about 8 hours. The instructions were pretty good. I had questions and Flexpetz was there to chat or talk on the phone which was great.
As for performance, its been up and running for one month. After about one week of flag and beep training, it took about 2 days of correction for our Yorkshire-Terrier -lhasa mix to stay in the boundary. He loves to chase small animals and this caused him to test it out a few times. Since the second day everything is working great.
Worth every bit of money and work as now we can let the dog out whenever he wants and he can also play outside with the kids without having to worry about him running off into the woods.
He has even bolted out of the house a few times without the collar and never crossed the line.
Great system.

I love the yard max mode, this is a really great system, nice small light weight collar. Wish the battery life was a bit longer I'm getting about 4 months of charge life right now, but guess its better than having to pay for propitiatory batteries. (Posted on 8/21/2013)
