Read the Amazon reviews - people are reporting random warning beeps within the safe area.

Also, if the dog gets out:

Over-correction prevention (automatic shut off) - If your dog completely leaves the boundary of the safe zone, the duration of the electrical stimulation is limited to 30 seconds. After 30 seconds the system automatically shuts off for five minutes before resuming stimulation for another 30 seconds. This pattern of 30 seconds on, 5 minutes off repeats until the dog returns to the safe zone.

That's not good.

When it comes to strapping electronics onto our pets, I believe in buying the absolute best possible. From the sounds of it, I would not use this system.

Jemini - as a "liner" for an existing fence, I am much more comfortable with the idea though still not a fan of the random beeping reported. But that may not happen with every installation.

Hijack - had to look up the "Stubborn Dog" collar.

Has an additional vibration "warning" - that I like. The rest - HOLY COW! And fits a 6" neck. Why? A lot of dogs with 6" necks who need a REALLY strong eletronic jolt? And only to be used on dogs 30 pounds and up? I'd have to see the dog who was 30 pounds with a six inch neck. The rare Pin Headed Volehund - bred to dig like a badger but with a small enough head to fit down a vole hole.

Five levels - and 3 x more powerful than their regular collar from "OUCH!" to "Medium Rare"?

Argh.... so many dogs who go through the field are NOT "stubborn" but poorly trained and now they can be poorly trained and seriously zapped.

AND this thing is for sale to everyone with a credit card. Sigh....painful to contemplate.

"PetSafe PRF-275-19 Stubborn Dog Super Receiver Collar

The PRF-275-19 Super (Stubborn Dog) Receiver collar is for the occasional hard-to-train or stubborn dog. This Receiver Collar contains electronics to detect the magnetic field carried by the containment boundary wire, translates them, and delivers a static correction. The static correction is delivered through two contact probes that touch the dog's neck.

For use with the PetSafe Stubborn Dog In-Ground Radio Fences (PIG00-10777, MIG00-10939, and HIG11-11052).

Less than 1% of dogs need the Stubborn Dog receiver. It is three times more powerful than our regular receivers and is designed with these dogs in mind. Because of its size, this receiver should be used for dogs that are over 30 pounds.

Features:

Ideal for hard to train or stubborn dogs
Great for dogs that are consistently breaking through the boundary and need a stronger receiver
Five Levels of Adjustable Correction - Easily changed with the push of a button on the receiver
Additional vibration feature in the warning zone to provide an added deterrent
Anti Linger so the dog cannot stay in the warning zone and run down the battery
Also provides vibration in the warning zone as an additional correction method
Progressive Correction - if your dog continues toward the boundary the correction will increase automatically
Collar will fit neck sizes from 6" to 28"
NOT for use with the PetSafe Instant Wireless Fence containment system (see PIF-275-19)"
