The Fences I Tested
The [PetSafe Stubborn Dog In Ground Fence](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=PetSafe+Stubborn+Dog+In+Ground+Fence&tag=thetestedhub-20) was the clear winner for big dogs. The highest correction level finally got Rocky's attention.
Common questions
Used correctly with proper training flags and gradual exposure, the correction is comparable to a static shock. Skipping training is what causes problems.
Wireless systems struggle with hills and metal sheds. For acreage with terrain changes, an in-ground wired fence is far more reliable.
