PetSafe In-Ground Deluxe Ultralight Collar with Radio Receiver, PUL-275

The features of the collar work well. I bought it to replace a Petsafe ProLite collar that failed after many years of service. The only issue is finding replacement RFA-67 batteries that are fully charged. The old collar used standard cell batteries, but this collar requires the RFA-67, which uses a Petsafe proprietary from factor. I've tried buying replacements from several stores and found that the low battery indicator will light up immediately or a few days after installing the replacement battery. There seems to be an issue with the shelf life of the replacement batteries. However, I found that several vendors are selling RFA-67 adapters that allow you to use normal CR2032 cell batteries with the collar.

UPDATE: After using a battery adapter and trying several brands of cell batteries, it looks like the problem is with the collar, not the batteries. Batteries do not last more than a few weeks. Since I will most likely replace the collar due to this issue, I'm changing my review to 2 stars.

My 2 dogs have used the invisible inground fence for years without a problem (old collars). When my friends 3 dogs moved in, I bought 3 RSC UL-275BM collars. The first collar's battery failed immediately and I returned the collar. The batteries in the other 2 collars failed within 3 months outside the Amazon return period. The collar indicates battery failure via a blinking light. I contacted petsafe who advised to reset the unit by removing the battery and draining the capacitor. Did not work. Old collars work well. I have not located any info on battery failures on these units but 3 failures is not acceptable.

My kids left the old collar on the grass and it was mutilated by the lawnmower. So I ordered this new one, and price and service were excellent.

For those considering an in-ground radio fence, these things are great. I have a border collie that was digging under a 6' privacy fence, so I put up an above ground electric fence to stop the digging. He got shocked once, ran around to the other side of the yard, and jumped the 6' fence. After that, he knew he could clear the fence, and would get out frequently. We knew when he would get out because our female dog would yelp and endure the pain of the electric fence while she dug to get out with him. Finding them was another matter. Soon after I moved to a house with a three rail fence, and rather than put mesh up that I knew would do no good, I tried one of these in ground radio fences. As long as the fence is working and the battery is charged, my dogs have never gotten out. It is very humane, as the fence beeps prior to a shock, so after the initial training period, my dogs have only been shocked maybe once or twice, and then they understood the boundary. My female dog would run her battery out rather quick because she would always run around in the beep zone. I started using this 7 years ago, my female died and my 12 year old bought him a Brittany (very high energy)one year ago, and she trained quick and understood the whole fence thing with minimal training when we brought her home at 10 weeks.

I was worried that the 5 different correction levels would not be enough for my stubborn dog. However by level 4 he got the point and we had him trained in 1 1/2 weeks. I am also impressed with how small the device is (since my dog is only 40 pounds) it's nice that it doesn't weigh him down like the typical receiver collars. My dog also swims in our stream constantly and the collar has proved to be very waterproof. The seller shipped the item promptly. I am very pleased with this purchase and have now purchased 2 (I ahve 2 dogs). :)
