Description
xThe PetSafe Stay & Play Wireless Fence for Stubborn Dogs is a portable containment system designed for high-energy pets. It creates a safe, invisible boundary without digging or buried wires, with a circular boundary that can be tuned to fit yards of different shapes and sizes. Quick to set up—often in 1–2 hours—the system travels with you as needed, from home to vacation spots.
The waterproof receiver collar is rechargeable and includes a tone-only mode along with five adjustable static correction levels, so you can tailor the training to your dog's temperament. Static-free reentry helps reinforce positive behavior when your dog returns to the safe zone. The collar fits necks from 6 to 28 inches, and works for dogs weighing as little as 5 pounds. This multi-pet training system can accommodate additional collars, so every pet can enjoy outdoor time safely in the same yard.
Designed with a blend of confidence and care, the Stay & Play system has earned the trust of thousands of pet owners. Forbes named it among the best wireless fences for persistent dogs, reflecting PetSafe's long-standing commitment to safe, enjoyable pet time. Since 1988, PetSafe has built vet- and trainer-recommended solutions and provided responsive customer support to help families and their dogs grow closer.
