Overview
This is PetSafe's Stay and Play wireless pet fence, an above-ground containment system rather than a buried-wire fence. It includes a transmitter, a waterproof adjustable collar receiver, a charger and training flags for a single dog or cat.
Despite the category label pulling it under training collars, the item type and included parts describe a wireless containment fence, not a bark or remote training collar. The receiver runs on a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that is not user replaceable, and the transmitter creates the circular boundary rather than requiring buried wire.
- Above-ground wireless containment
- Waterproof rechargeable collar receiver
- Rated for dogs and cats
- Includes training flags
Who it's for
Suits owners who want a no-dig containment option for one dog or cat in a yard with room for a circular boundary. Less suited to households needing an irregular boundary shape or multiple pets on separate zones without extra collars.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- No digging or buried wire required
- Waterproof, adjustable collar receiver
- Works for both dogs and cats
- Includes training flags for setup
- Boundary is circular, not shaped to property lines
- Collar battery is rechargeable but not replaceable
- 1 year limited warranty
Performance notes
The transmitter sets a circular boundary and the waterproof collar receiver delivers correction as the pet nears the edge, with training flags provided to help the pet learn the boundary visually during setup. The receiver's built-in rechargeable battery removes the need to buy replacement batteries but also means the battery can't be swapped once it wears out.
