Will this work for my dog?

The PetSafe Stay + Play Wireless Fence PIF00-12917 is suitable for most dogs that have learned the basics of training such as sit, stay, and come. This prepares them for the basic commands needed to stay safe while learning the wireless pet fence system.

The PIF00-12917 is suitable for dogs over 5 pounds, and the supplied collar is suitable for dogs whose necks are between 6 and 28 inches. There is the possibility of purchasing a stronger collar for larger, more stubborn dogs that will work with this system.

How many systems do I need if I have more than one dog?

This containment system can have an unlimited number of collars added to its system allowing greater freedom for those with multiple dogs. Each collar can be customized not only by size but by correction level making it suitable for dogs of all sensitivities.

How do the batteries last?

The collars use a built-in battery and simply need to be plugged in at night to be ready for the day ahead. This saves you from needing to purchase additional batteries and lets you know that it is always working at full power.

I have a large yard, will this work for me?

The PIF00-12917 has a longer range than the PIF-300 and can cover an area of up to 3/4 of an acre (210 feet in diameter). If additional space is needed you would need to add an additional transmitter, and both the PIF00-12917 and PIF-300 are compatible.

What can affect the coverage?

The PIF00-12917 offers a much smaller “wobble” area or area of error than the PIF-300. At a mere 3.2 feet, you do not have to worry about premature corrections in an area that your dog should be considered safe.

Like with all wireless systems, finding the perfect placement for your device is essential to this system’s success. Try to keep it away from laundry rooms, computer rooms, furnaces, and other devices that can cause signal distortion.

Some users who travel a lot find it useful to use in the hotel room or when they are at a friend’s home as it gives the dog a chance to run around with a familiar boundary. This means that if you are visiting family for the holidays, a fenceless yard does not dictate that your dog cannot go outside without a leash allowing both you and your dog some extra freedom.

In short, what is the PetSafe Stay + Play Wireless Fence PIF00-12917?

Suitable for dogs of many sizes, ages, breeds, and personalities, the PetSafe Stay + Play Wireless Fence PIF00-12917 is a quality product that offers peace of mind for those who do not want a physical fence but would like their dog to remain safely in their yard.

The following video has some important tips on how to train your dog to understand and respect your new PetSafe Stay + Play wireless containment system.

How much does this system cost?

PetSafe has priced this unit at $369.99 on their website. It is more expensive than the original wireless pet containment system, but it makes up for this with additional features. This unit is much smaller, covers a larger area, and the collars do not need replacement batteries as they are rechargeable.

Amazon.com frequently offers a discount on these systems and offers various shipping options, including free shipping to your door and a 30-day return policy. They also have a second-hand or open-box option for units that have been returned for whatever reason. These are also covered by Amazon.com’s 30-day return policy and free shipping as well.

What support is offered with this system?

This system includes everything you need to set up the wireless fence in just a couple of hours. It includes the wireless transmitter, a test light tool, an operating and training guide, and 50 flags that are used to create a visual barrier while training your dog(s).

Where can I look for more help?

If you need further assistance than the included guides, you can look at their website and find their itemized support pages along with a phone number for free phone support as well as an email address for efficient, convenient communication.

Is there any warranty on this system?

PetSafe offers its own 30-day return policy when you purchase this system off their website. If you purchase the system through another party, they may have a different warranty available for this product.

Is this system well-liked by buyers?

With over 50% of the 327 Amazon buyers who reviewed this product rating this system at a full five stars, this product shows that it is well liked.

Most of these users like the fact that it is much cheaper than a standard fence and that it is very quick and easy to use. They like that the correction setting can be customized with each collar and that there are no batteries that need changing, unlike most units.

What are reasons that some users didn’t like it?

Some users did find that the collars would incorrectly correct their dogs when they walked next to metal doors, buildings, vehicles, etc. Some also found that the maximum distance was shortened with hills, as mentioned in the included documentation.

Like anything, there are some areas that could be improved on or aspects that certain users just do not like. In this system, only 18% of those 327 Amazon.com users would give it a poor rating proving again just how successful this system is.

    I have a sloped yard, part of it is flat but then most of it is on a hill. My current remote yard and park trainer doesn’t work, or rather is inconsistent when the dog is on the hill or gets close to the trees. Is that going to be the case with the fence as well?

    Definitely tried this one and it does the job very well. Might just require a bit more of battery life for the dog’s collar (receiver.) PetSafe has been producing amazing products lately and these updates of long-time bestsellers are really bringing novelty and improvements.

    Does the Stay and Play require the PIF-300 to work? Can this product work alone or require use in tandem with the PIF-300?  Thank you.

      It is compatible with PIF-300 collars but it does not require PIF300.
