I have been using the d-fence 202 Dogtrace electronic dog fence (version with a display and backup battery) in a garden with uneven terrain (total perimeter installation length approx. 250 m) for more than a year.
Electronic fence d-fence 202, black
The unrivalled d-fence6th SENSE pet fence system with backup power supply will keep your dog safe for up to 16 hours in the event of a mains power failure. The kit is designed for installations up to 2200 m. The package does not include wire, its purchase is based on the total…
Before that, my somewhat headstrong, powerful East European Shepherd (68 cm at the withers, 50 kg) tended to look for weak spots in the fencing and go off on walks around the neighbourhood on his own. However, just a few stimulation impulses from the electronic collar (set to half intensity) were enough for him to quickly learn to respect the designated zones along the property boundary.
Advice and experience from Mr Hálek
After 6 months since the initial setup or last battery replacement, you should check whether the collar still emits an audible signal when held near the boundary wire. If it does not, it is necessary to replace the battery in the collar, otherwise the dog may eventually enter a restricted zone.
The collar does have a battery status indicator, but its function depends on many factors, so you should not rely on it exclusively. In practice, it is more useful for correct collar positioning (indicator facing forward), because the d-fence marking disappears from the collar after a few months of use.It is also advisable to occasionally check the transmitter unit display to make sure the mains power supply is functioning correctly and the backup battery is being charged. In the event of a mains power failure, the battery keeps the system running for several hours. After it is fully discharged and mains power is restored, you only need to switch the transmitter back on.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact the manufacturer directly; they will provide prompt and helpful support.
