Makes Containing 2 Small Dogs Easy

So How Does It Work?

The Radial-Shape2 Wireless Small Dog Fence uses advanced technology to constantly communicate with your dog's collar so the system knows exactly where your dog is at all times. This feature displays the distance your dog is from the base on the sleek digital fence controller.

The Radial-Shape2 Wireless System can be set with a boundary of up to 400 feet in any direction. When your dog reaches the trigger zone the fence controller sends a command to the collar to take action and correct (tone or static - based on the settings you have chosen).

This Radial System contains the extra components necessary to safely contain 2 small dogs at once.
During the set up stage, you can to define customized correction levels for each dog.

Is Your Property Right for a Wireless Fence? Since the signal is communicated wirelessly for this system, obstructions such as aluminum siding, dense trees, heavy landscaping and outbuildings interfere with the signal and prevent a consistent boundary from being established.

Set Up is a Breeze

The accompanying Instruction Manual and Quick Set Up Guide make setting up this wireless dog fence fast. Set up typically takes about an hour from opening the box to operation.

For best results, we recommend you follow the Training Guide that is included in your system. This allows your dog to understand the boundary zones and containment area.

System Safety Features

Your dog's safety is our priority. Before you purchase and use our system, please make sure to read all of our important safety reminders to make sure you are comfortable adhering to the recommendations.

	Customized Correction - You are able to customize the correction level of each collar. You can choose a correction that is suitable for the size, age, and temperament of both your dogs. There are 6 different settings, including tone only and 5 static corrections. The default correction level is tone only.
	Wider Trigger Zone - The trigger zone is the part of the containment area which issues the correction to your dog. Our engineers designed the trigger zone of the Radial-Shape2 to be from 6 to 13 ft. depending upon your dog's location relative to the fence boundary and how fast your dog is traveling towards the fence boundary. This was designed to maximize the safety of your dogs and ensure your dogs remain within the fence boundary.
	Boundary Breach Alerts - If your dogs do breach the boundary, an audible alert will trigger on your controller and notify you within your home.
	Safety Time Out - The collar of the Radial-Shape2 wireless fence is designed with a safety time-out feature that stops the correction cycle after 30 seconds. After the correction times out, your dogs will not be corrected for returning to the containment area. Once your dogs return to the containment area, the collar will revert to its normal operating mode.

Collar Features

For your dogs safety, it is important that the collar not be worn on him for longer than 12 consecutive hours.

	Water Resistant Collar - The Radial-Shape2 collar is water resistant, which enables it to handle splashes from puddles and the water bowl. This is not the same as water proof. We don't recommend submersing the collar completely in water.
	Collar Strap and Fit - Made from heavy duty rubber with a stainless steel buckle closure to ensure a secure fit. The total weight of the collar is only 3.7 ounces and fits dogs with neck sizes 10 inches to 17 inches. If you need a larger size collar, we do have a 2 average dog system available »
	Name Your Collars - During set up of your Radial-Shape2 Wireless Fence System, you can name each collar so that all correction settings can be customized and you clearly understand which collar goes to which dog.

  Amazon Review April 18, 2013

we use it at home and also take it camping with us spanning from 40 ft radius to 400 ft. My dog was used to it in 2 days and now when we go camping it takes only a couple minutes for him to understand.

  Home Depot Review April 02, 2013

Works great, we have 5 acres which are very open except for a detached garage. Have it set for 300 feet which allows the dogs plenty of room. Took about two weeks to train my Aussies. I would highly recommend this product. Can't comment on durability as we have only had this for a couple of months so far seems very well made.

  Amazon Review June 26, 2012

Great for our small dog and large yard! This works great for my cockapoo! She weights just 8.6 pounds, and has not had any problems with the collar. We have just over 1/2 an acre and it is only partially fenced in with a vinyl picket fence. This has saved her from a life of always having to be on a lead when outside. Due to the possibility of other dogs coming in the yard, she's only loose outside when there's someone outside with her. This wireless fence gives me peace of mind while I'm doing yard work, or just enjoying my yard, and allows my dog to wander our property.

I had my dad come over to help me set it up, but honestly, I could have done it alone. Charge the batteries the night before, and the set up is very simple.

I admit, my dog is a BIG sissy. She cries when you merely scold her. Her feelings get hurt & she'll cry like you're causing her physical harm. Surprisingly, she did not cry out when she got a shock. She looked a bit surprised, and it took a couple of tries for her to realize that walking out of the yard = that uncomfy shock.

If they only made these for housebreaking, my life would have been SO much easier!

  Boxer owner April 30, 2012

We found this to be better than the Petsafe brand we tried. Keeping my hyper Boxer in the yard and close by at a level 3 even. Highly recommend this brand for you dog needs.

  Simply Perfect April 28, 2012

Love, Love, Love this system. My dog is small so I got the "Small breed" version. Setting 2 seems to be the best for him (He is headstrong) The batteries go about 2 weeks before needing changed with the settings I use. I really like that I can see the battery level on the main unit. I have the system set to 140 foot. Very reliable range and stable. Oliver learned his boundries very quickly. I walked with him and waived the flags like the directions say. He very rarely gets close to the outer boundaries now. Even with the neighbors dogs out, he stays in our yard. So easy to set up too. I tell eveyone I know that has a dog to get this system. It really is awesome. Thanks.

  Amazon Review March 27, 2013

Great product for Wireless fence (Large area up to 11 acres!) This thing works well. I used to have a pet safe wireless and upgraded to this for a larger area.

Pros

• up to 11 acres
• rechargeable batteries
• real time display of distance dog is from base
• Alarm on base when dog gets correction
• comes with 2 batteries and charger does 2 at a time
• battery status shown on base

• batteries have to be changed daily because they run out of power

  Amazon Review February 26, 2013

Works great! Easy to setup and tailor the settings to my yard. My only complaint is that the collar is a buckle not a snap clip collar. This makes it harder to put on and take off.

  Amazon Review August 02, 2012

The best feature of this Havahart product is that it is so easy to set up and is portable. There is no digging or placing of a wire underground. It works through a controller and a dog collar, so you can take it anywhere you like and use it whenever you like. And, of course, there is no electric shock so many would say it is more humane and a better way to contain a dog. Some may worry that the lack of an electric jolt will not deter a dog enough and he/she will continue to go where they like, but I found the opposite to be true. Through proper training, your dog learns to stay within a specific, defined area. With traditional wireless fences, a determined canine will just continue to run and tolerate the shock in order to reach a target. This is why I do not trust the traditional wireless fences. I know my dog too well. He will not let an electric shock stop him from chasing a squirrel or anything else. 

  Amazon Review June 26, 2012

We have used these wireless electrical fences before - actually several different makes and brands over the years. We have used them in different locations, for different dogs and under different circumstances. Overall we have found that these devices are quite effective if you take the time; and make no mistake, you must devote time, to train your dog(s) properly. There are no free lunches in this world. It should also be noted that despite the fact that your dog may be brighter than the average Jr. High, (I know our three are), they are still a dog and each animal will react differently to any given set of circumstances...you must modify your training to meet your particular dog's needs.

Now that being said:

Of the different devices we have used over the years, I must say that this one was the easiest to install and has been the easiest to move from area to area. From a mechanical standpoint, we found no fault in its performance. It works how it says it will work. We also found that for the money, this was the best unit available. Yes, there are units and systems out there that quite well may be better, but to be quite frank, you pay much more for those units.

I was able to install this fence the first time in a little over an hour. It took that long because I am a klutz and rather clueless about such things. The second time I set it up took about half that time. I am sure the third time will be even quicker. We live in the woods - I mean in the woods and on a little over five acres. Our dogs run free most of the time and have "pretty much" been trained to stay away from the road. Never the less, they sometimes forget themselves which causes us anguish to no end. We have set up an area in our side yard of about a 60 foot radius. This device is very effective at that range. All three dogs, after three weeks of training, respond well to the buzz signal.

I did test this thing on myself and found that while it was startling (we are talking the shock part here), it was not what I would call painful although it most certainly got my attention.

The only feature of this unit I did not like was the bulk of the neck unit. We have three smallish terriers . One of the terriers; a Boston Terrier, is our "problem child" as he is quite bright but has a very hard head. It took longer to train him but even he now responds in a positive manner.

This is a good and workable unit IF you take the time to properly train our dog(s) for it.

  Amazon Review June 20, 2012

Love it! great customer service. This has saved my dogs life! we live near a highway and this keeps my dog at home....he will go under fences or dart out the door but he can't get past the wireless fence.

its very very easy to set up. i was skeptical about the cost...but it is totally worth it! also i was skeptical about the shocking...but thankfully the collar makes a beep to warn the dog to step away from the perimeter before it gets shocked, so the dog has advanced warning that it needs to move away...the dog rarely ever gets shocked.

I thought training would take days....but my dog was trained in about 10 minutes to stop when he heard the beep. for the first few minutes when i waved the flags in his face he thought i was nuts, i could tell this was not going anywhere.....so i jumped ahead in the training and the first time he was shocked he figured it out immediately. he's smarter than i thought! we had to switch to the large prongs because he has thick fur around his neck. My dog is 50 lbs and has had no problem with the size of the collar. also you have to change the batteries almost everyday.

we did have a problem when the collar stopped working for no apparent reason after only 7 months. as soon as my dog figured it out...he was back to his old tricks. i called customer service and they replaced it. it was a long week until we got the collar...but the new one works great. i had no problem with customer service, they were incredibly helpful! i love this company, i so rarely have a good customer service experience and will definitely make purchases with them in the future. dog is bummed =)

  Amazon Review June 01, 2012

We live in a neighborhood where almost every house has a dog or dogs. I do not have a wireless or invisible fence, but many of our neighbors do. I know that the invisible or wireless fences don't always work, because if a dog wants to chase a squirrel, cat, chipmunk or rabbit bad enough, that dog will take the shock through the barrier and once out of the wired area, the dog is out and down the block. Our one neighbor has 2 dogs with the underground wire and one dog always breaks the barrier while the other dog has never gone beyond the wire. The problem with invisible or wireless fences is that you never know if your dog will stay in the barrier or break out and keep going until you've spent the money to find out.

Our backyard is fenced for the dog and the front is not. I wanted this Havahart Wireless Fence for two reasons, to give the dog some play space in the unfenced front yard with me and to be able to go anywhere and keep the dog in a confined area. When I say to be able to go anywhere, I mean if we go camping, on picnics, visiting friends or leaving the dog with a relative. The beauty of a Wireless Fence, is NO wire- meaning you can take the controller, collar and your dog anywhere. The portability concept is wonderful- IF it works.

The set up of this Havahart Wireless Fence is unbelievably easy. You charge the batteries- they give you 2, but only one is in the collar. It's great to have the extra battery to quickly replace the one in the collar when it needs recharging. You set up the radius you want to contain your dog's space in, on the controller. You then place the controller on an outside wall in your home. Then measure the outside space and flag the perimeter- our front is 52 feet by 50 feet- you must measure in a circle- so we flagged 50 feet. The collar has an antenna wire inside the neckband, which tells you how many feet your dog is from the controller, whenever you want to check- we found this to be a very helpful added feature.

We purchased another collar, as Havahart stated that 2 collars will work inside the perimeter of one controller, and decided to see if this works on 2 dogs- my neighbor's dog and ours. We are talking about a border collie and german shepherd- both highly intelligent dogs that love to learn new things and new games. The actual shock the dog gets from this Havahart Wireless collar, we tested against our neighbor's invisible fence collar. My neighbor's husband was the guinea pig. The invisible fence collar is an actual mild electric shock that gets stronger. This Havahart collar has one tone- with 5 correction levels. He said it was more of a buzzing, then became a sort of electric buzzing, then what he would call the shock, was about 20 times milder than the invisible fence shock. Our neighbor said this was too mild to work, but I was actually happy that the shock was mild.

Now comes the training and this is where I found out if this works for both dogs. A couple times each day, my neighbor and I just introduced the flagged area to the dogs with the collars set to tone only. We taught them to recognize the flags and the collar tone mean stop. This took 5 days. We then set the collars to low static correction- a kind of buzzing pulse that tells the dogs they are outside the flagged area. In the second week, we had to teach them to ignore all the wonderful things outside the flagged area and to stay inside when the collars buzzed. When you remove the flags (If you choose to- we found out some dogs need the visual and collar both) and have the dog focus on just the collar buzzing, this is where you need to spend some time with your dog, as it was a slower learning process with the border collie because she has a natural tendency to chase and round up everything that moves. The german shepherd was an easier train than the female border collie with her naturally free spirit. After 2 weeks, the german shepherd would move back with a low level buzzing type shock, but the border collie couldn't resist chasing a squirrel. We will spend more time on the border collie, but she is such a free spirit, I don't know how long it will take or if it will work at all.

As for our german shepherd, he was trained immediately and we took the controller to my brother's home, where we set it up with a 65 foot perimeter and he stayed inside that perimeter for the entire afternoon. The mildest buzzing stops him, so I found out it's all about the dog, training the dog and not about shocking the dog. This is a wonderful wireless fence and the best part is, that if your dog is easily trained, you can take the controller anywhere and contain your dog with nothing but a buzzing collar.

• The controller must be mounted inside the home on an exterior wall nearest the center of your desired circular containment areas.
• The controller should be located 3 feet away from and 3 feet above the signal limiting items listed HERE for the Interior and Exterior of your home in order to minimize the factors that can cause attenuation.
• In some cases, placing the controller on a window might solve issues you might have with objects in the home causing attenuation by creating a direct line of sight to the problem area (the controller can see directly to the problem area).
• Make sure the controller is located within 6 feet of a 120V AC outlet. This leaves enough room for the power cord.
• The controller must be installed indoors as they cannot be exposed to moisture (ie. rain or snow).

Obstacles that May Cause Severe Attenuation

In order to ensure a successful set up, please look for the following objects in your home and on your property prior to set up:

Interior of the home:   Mirrors, microwaves, and home appliances.

Exterior of the home:   Aluminum siding, metal down spouting, electrical power meters, air conditioning units, metal garage doors, and stucco walls

Property layout:   Large bushes, trees, extensive landscaping, above-ground pools, sheds and metal screened porches.

Once you have identified the following items, you can start planning your controller and fence boundary locations.

The Radial-Shape2 Wireless Dog Fence is not for Every Property

Although we would like to say that the Radial-Shape Havahart® Wireless Dog Fence will work on every property type or home construction, we unfortunately cannot.

Even with our superior patented technology, there are instances when the successful operation of any wireless dog fence will be very limited and not meet your needs.  Because your satisfaction is important to us, we want to make sure you are aware of these circumstances prior to making a purchase.

Note:  In some cases the obstacles on your property such as a heavily wooded lot or extensive landscaping might be so dense that the system will not provide you with a  wireless dog fence boundary shape that satisfies your needs. In these particular cases, we would recommend our Underground Dog Fence, the Fence Free Pet Containment System

Additional Help

Training your Dog

Once your fence boundary has been set, training your dog is key to achieving your ultimate goal.  Each dog learns differently.  You will need to determine the appropriate speed for training and the collar correction level needed based on the size and temperament of your dog.

• We recommend this system be used on dogs over 6 months old weighing over 8 pounds.
• Make sure the collar fits your dog appropriately.  The collar fits dogs with neck sizes from 14 – 26 inches.  Both short and long probes are included to help you provide a good fit.
• Begin training on the tone-only setting (default setting).  You can adjust the correction level as necessary.
• Our training guidelines in the Instruction Manual encourage a full 12 – 15 days of training with your dog to ensure success.

Tips for the Wireless Collar & Batteries

• It takes less than 3 hours to charge a battery.
• Always have an extra battery charged and ready to use.
• Make sure your dog is safely within the roaming area when placing the collar on your dog.
• Always remove the collar from your dog before adjusting any of the system components or settings.
• Make sure the collar fits snugly but not tightly, high on your dog’s neck with the probes facing upward and centered under your dog’s chin.
• It is highly recommended to take the collar off your dog when entering the home.
• To help prevent skin irritation and increase battery life, it is recommended that you never leave the collar on your dog for more than 12 consecutive hours at a time.

FAQs About the Havahart® Wireless Electric Dog Fence

Q:    Will the wireless fence interfere with my computer, TV, cordless phone, cell
        phone or garage door opener if I place the Controller (of the Radial-Shape2
        Wireless Dog Fence) or Bases (Custom-Shape Wireless Dog Fence) near
        them?

A:   No. The wireless fence works on a different frequency than those used by these
       electronic devices..

Q:   What objects in my home and yard might cause problems or interfere with my
       Fence Boundary?

A:  Objects that can interfere with your wireless fence  include mirrors, microwaves,
       home appliances, electric power meters, air conditioning units, metal screened
       porches, metal downspouts, trees, large bushes and above-ground pools and
       sheds.

      These objects can affect the shape of the Trigger Zone and make it slightly
      different than desired. Placing the Custom-Shape Bases or Radial-Shape2
      Controller at least  3 feet away from or above these objects should minimize
      any undesired effects.

     Objects that will cause considerable interference are aluminum siding, densely  

      wooded lots and heavily landscaped properties.

Q:   If my dog manages to escape from his Roaming Area in my yard, will the Collar
       continue to correct my dog?

A:   The Havahart® Wireless Collar will correct the dog for up to 30 seconds and then
        time out.  The correction is delivered through a prescribed cycle so that it is not
       constant.  Both systems will allow your dog to re-enter the Roaming Area without
       being corrected. Both systems will resume normal operation once your dog is
       safely inside the Roaming Area. Collar will correct the dog for up to 30 seconds
       through a prescribed cycle so that the correction is not constant.

Q:   How old should my dog be before I start training him with the fence?

A:   The Havahart® Wireless Dog Fences are designed for dogs older than 6
       months and weighing more than 8 pounds with a neck size of 14 to 26 inches.
