PetSafe Guardian GPS Dog Fence - Advanced AccuGuard Technology - Wireless Virtual Fence - No Subscription Required - Waterproof Collar with Long Lasting Battery - Easy to Set Up

Best GPS fence without subscription— I have a set up at my house and one on the farm for my 2 GSPs (German Shorthairs.) Easy installation and set-up; the app walks you through it. Zero problems. Great range; give hazardous areas more clearance (e.g. do not set the boundary directly beside a road. Use common sense.) Clean appearance with an indicator light. It’s expensive, but it beats having to install an in-ground system or an actual fence. Plus, you can change the fence anytime you need to and if you move, you can take it with you. The collars have multiple levels static correction and the collar will tone when it comes close to the fence border. I remove the collars to charge overnight, so no problems with battery life. Adding a new collar is easy too if you have multiple dogs— you can create a profile for each dog. You can use standard thickness 1” biothane if you prefer a custom collar appearance (I recommend Beau&Nora for custom biothane collars and leashes!) The quality of the collar is great, just cut off the excess. Overall, you won’t find a better or more affordable option without a subscription.

First, Amazon has been great and have replaced these two collars we purchased, and they did it free of charge. But ONLY ONE TIME. However, we spent over $700 on two of these collars and the base unit. We purchased them in June 2025. They worked well for 4 months. Then they began to fall offline and they do it continuously. No amount of research or restarting will make any difference. It's not our wifi. It shows a strong signal at all times and everything else works all the time. It's not trees or buildings. We live on an open prairie. We reset everything multiple times and every time they work for a while. The chat lines and help line keep telling us to remove the batteries and reinstall them. These units do NOT have batteries. We tried repositioning the base unit. We reloaded the app on our phones multiple times. Sometimes they just come back when we do nothing. We are at the end of our patience. We had really, really cheap GPS collars before that worked well for about 1 year on average. They were better than these. I will never spend any money for this brand again. Never.

I have been a pet safe user for many years. When we moved into our new house in 2021 we explored fence options and went with the wired version of the pet safe fence. It was a pain in the butt to set up and took quite a while, and we had to buy a ditch witch in order to bury the wire and had to wait for the city to come mark the land before digging, but once it was set up, it was fine and it has worked relatively well over the years. However, in the last few months to a year we’ve had several breaks in the Line, And we were finding ourselves constantly having to fix the wires. This last time was the last straw so we upgraded to this one. I will say that the technology has significantly improved in the last five years. When we looked before there was not a version like this where you could easily manually draw your yard. The products that were similar were in the form of a central point with a circle fence, and would not work for our square yard. We did not want to have to limit our pets space or risk them going into our neighbors space. I set this up in 15 to 20 minutes, and put the collars on and my dogs are ready to go. The longest part was just waiting for the product to update the firmware. Now my dogs are already trained for underground fence so we didn’t have to go through that whole process again. I do recommend people take the time to go through that process. You’ll be happier than just hoping your dog figures it out. When I first started using underground fence products in the early 2000s I did not go through the process and my dogs would run past the shock once they figured it out. Taking my time and taking the full recommended several weeks of months to ensure they are trained is 100% worth it. I have two coonhound/hunting breed dogs and they do not cross the line to chase after anything including Deers, rabbits and turkeys that are frequently in our property. This product is very high-quality in appearance and definitely worth the money. The collar is lighter weight than previous. My only feedback would be that a better battery life for the collar would be appreciated. My previous dog fence collar had well over a month of charge. This one says it’s only about three days which will be an adjustment.

Effective yet mixed. It works wonderfully until the animal realizes that they only need to stay outside the "barrier" and the collar will stop functioning completely. And the extra strap length when tightening is easy to chew away.

We purchased this item because we have been very satisfied with other Petsafe products we have had in the past. The description is PetSafe Guardian GPS Dog Fence - Advanced AccuGuard Technology - Wireless Virtual Fence - No Subscription Required - Waterproof Collar with Long Lasting Battery - Easy to Set Up The collar is for a very large Dog. I don't think it was presented that way.

I was honestly skeptical about a “wireless” fence, but this thing has been amazing. Setup took maybe an hour tops — no digging, no wires - just walk the boundary and the app does the rest. The GPS accuracy is surprisingly solid, even around some trees in my yard. My dog picked up on the warning tone within a day, and I haven’t had to worry about him wandering off since. The collar feels durable, battery lasts several days between charges, and it’s totally waterproof (my pup even fought the sprinkler!). Love that there’s no monthly subscription, unlike some other brands I looked at. Overall, totally worth the money - peace of mind and freedom for my pup!
