I already have an underground fence system, but I am finding the quality of the collars to be pathetic. The current system is a SportDog SDF-100a. I found out after my wife purchased it that it is just a rebranded petsafe like walmart sells. The collars have been breaking repeatedly. I have three dogs and One of the dogs learned to challenge the fence once his collar started working only intermittently. Now, I am going to need a system with a bit more correction at the collar.
I tried turning up the field width hoping to remedy the problem, but due to my yard/boundary shape, it started shocking the dogs in undesirable parts of my yard, so I had to turn it back down.
Long story short, I need advice on currently available brands and models that anyone has good or bad experience with. I had an Innotek system at my previous house that I really liked. It had rechargeable collars and worked like a dream. But that model isn't offered anymore. I don't want to pick a system at random, and I don't really want to deal with Invisible fence salesmen. I already have the wire installed, so I just need advice on which companies are offering a good base unit and reliable, durable collars. Also possibly a brand that offers a model for stubborn dogs now that my dog has learned to sprint through the fence.
