First: great idea, we use it to keep one of our cats OUT of the main living area in the house (he has issues ...), so he is outside with his collar and we installed the "zapper" at the second cat-door.
Training:
We could NOT train him, because he simply refused to walk on the leash, he just threw himself to the ground and was miserable (typical for cats). So, finally, after 4 weeks, we decided just to let him run with his collar and the zapper on (lowest zap!), and, he never came through the second cat door, but is a happy cat outside and in some rooms of the house ... we would never have been able to train him if we had installed it as a containing fence, he would never ever have walked on the leash. Our other cats - when we tried it - did the same: miserable huddles on the ground, no way they could be trained.
the collar:
our cat accepted the collar better than expected, just now and then he scratches his neck - a bit - where the collar is. And, after only about 10 days I can already see that the collar is starting to get lots of lose ends ... looks shaggy .. it is definitely not made for an animal that may - now and then - scratch his neck and hit the collar with his claws ... poor poor quality
so, overall, the system helped us to solve our problem, but I have to figure out something about the collar.Get more detail about PetSafe - Premium In-Ground Cat Fence.
