I have a PetSafe Wirless System and so do my parents. Works wonderfully for my Golden. He is a much softer personality than any of my 3 yorkies. It also worked wonderfully for my last golden, Lucky, as well. It is not recommended for dogs under 8 pounds original or 5 pounds for the Stay & play if memory serve me.
Your dog is way too small for this type of boundary system especially not for a puppy! Teach your kid not to open door without telling mommy/daddy! If they can let pup out than they are not safe themselves. Baby gates work wonders for yorkies and little kids! Put a hook at the top of the door so that your kid can't open the door. Unsupervised yorkie pup and little kid are a reciped for disaster! Keep the puppy in an X-pen or safe gated area if you can't watch them!
Cozy 10 pound yorkie will blow through the system is she feels her pups (Roxy and Lucy) are being threatened! Do to this she is never off leash in an unfenced area. She was trained to the system at 1 point but she blew through the system one day and almost got hit by a car because a Husky was growling and barking at the yorkies. The shock/correction level does not matter to her- Her instinct to protect is stronger for her. She gave birth to ten pups so a little zap means nothing to her. |
