Installing a dog fence can be complicated, but we help make it easier. The Stay & Play Compact Wireless Fence is our smallest size wireless fence transmitter.

Skip burying wires or building a physical fence – just plug in the transmitter indoors and set up your new wireless dog fence in 1-2 hours. The circular, wireless boundary adjusts to fit yards up to 3/4-acre. An LCD display on the transmitter shows you what diameter your pet’s boundary area is set to. Our wireless fence offers the most accurate wireless fence experience. The LCD display also has warning indicators to let you know if there is an error with your dog’s fence.

Since this fence is wireless, you can take it with you wherever you and your best friend go! Pack it with you when you go camping or when you travel in your RV; place the transmitter indoors and make sure you have an outlet nearby.

This kit includes 1 rechargeable receiver collar that has a tone-only mode and 5 levels of static correction which you can adjust based on your pet’s training response. With a little training (a lot of treats too) your dog can learn his new boundary area in just 2 weeks. If your pet does ever leave the boundary area, he won’t be corrected when he enters the safe play area again.

If you have more than 1 pet at home, you can purchase additional receiver collars so all your four-legged friends can safely play in the yard together. Your pet deserves the best. Trust PetSafe to keep your pet healthy, safe and happy.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can you change the shape of the wireless boundary?
    Our wireless fence systems are circular shaped and cannot be changed into a square or rectangle. You can make the circle larger or smaller as needed by adjusting the settings on the transmitter.
    Will this wireless fence create a circular boundary larger than 210-feet across?
    If you need to cover a yard that’s larger than 210 feet in diameter, you can do so by purchasing a second transmitter. When you use 2 wireless fence transmitters you can increase your pet’s play area. Just make sure that the boundaries overlap by at least 30 feet.
    Can I bring this wireless fence with me when I travel?
    Yes, you can! You can give your dog a secure area to play in wherever you two travel together. There are a few things you need to keep in mind before you pack your bags: Place the transmitter indoors and plug it into an outlet. If you’re powering your wireless fence from a car or a DC power source, make sure it’s rated for 50 watts or more. Make sure the transmitter is at least 3 feet away from metal objects. If you’re traveling in a metal RV or are in a building with a metal roof, the maximum size of your pet’s boundary area may be reduced. You’ll need to mark the new pet area when you arrive at your destination. Make sure you pack some boundary flags, so your dog has a visual reminder of his new play area.
    Can I place the transmitter outside?
    No, the transmitter must be placed in a fully-indoor, climate-controlled location where temperatures don’t fall below –10 degrees Fahrenheit or above 104 degrees Fahrenheit.
    Why can’t I use this fence with dogs younger than 6 months old?
    The age recommendation is based on your dog’s cognitive development. A puppy should be at least 6 months old and be able to consistently respond to basic commands such as “come” and “sit” before he is ready to start training with any kind of static correction collar.
    Could I use this wireless fence for my cat?
    Yes, this wireless fence can be used for dogs and cats if they weigh 5 pounds or more and the collar comfortably fits your cat. You can purchase a collar strap for cats separately. The collar strap has a stretch section for added safety.
    Can I use the receiver on another collar strap?
    Yes! You can secure the receiver on any 3/4-inch non-metallic collar strap. So if your dog’s color is royal blue, you can make sure that he’s always in style.

    Love this product.

    My Chihuahua Dachshund mix disappeared for several hours. When we got him back the first thing we did was go down and buy one of us the PetSafe stay and play compact wireless fence. One zap later he had learned his lesson. But now we have a new problem. He came in contact with the skunk. His collar is saturated and we can't put it back on him I went to where we made the purchase but they don't have just the collar nor does petsmart. He

    Not compatible with neighbors electric fence

    Would’ve been great if it worked completely. Was pretty easy to set up. Good instructions but mine wouldn’t work on one side with my neighbors I ground electric fence. They told me when I called it shouldn’t interfere with it, but after trouble shooting for an hour and a half and it still not working they deemed it ineffective with my neighbors fence. So unfortunately I had to return it and pay $25 to ship it back. Was not happy about

    Excellent

    The instructions say an hour to set up... more like 5 minutes. Very intuitive, effective, simple. Collars are light and easily adjustable. We have considerable elevation changes and tree growth on our property, and these factors were no issue whatsoever. I got 2 to extend the area and it was an excellent choice for our household/ situation.

    A relief to not be worried about broken wires!

    Easy and relatively quick to set up. Especially compared to In Ground systems—no digging and no “breaks” in the future! Adjusting the ‘circle’ to a rectangular lot took extra time.

    Works great. Until it doesn’t.

    We bought this fence a few months ago, for our hard to train escaping puppy.
    It worked great for the first couple of months and now the collar is malfunctioning and is beeping and zapping my dog while he is laying on my doorstep in his safe perimiter.
    Aside from that, it’s a great fence. But for the price point the collar shouldn’t be malfunctioning 6 months after purchase.

    Works well for medium/large dogs

    Easy to install, range is good, easy to use. My only issue is, the collar does not fit small dogs like shown. We had to safety pin the collar. I would suggest the maker include a couple of different sizes of collars.

    Great product

    The PetSafe Stay & Play Compact Wireless Fence offers a convenient, wire-free solution for dog containment. The rechargeable, waterproof collar ensures durability, and the system’s portability makes it a favorite. While the circular boundary may not suit all yard shapes, its ease of setup and effectiveness make it a top choice for many.

    Have to have

    We have a lab and trained her with an invisible fence, and it was the best thing we ever did. Yes, training can take some time, but thankfully, she was quick to learn and never left her boundary. If an actual fence is not an option, then this is the next best thing. I love that the option is there for tone only without the shock. Easy to install without burying the wires and can be taken wherever you go.

    Compact and Perfect for Quick Set Up!

    Perfect situation for our farm! Our barn dog Sadie loves to run and explore, but there are many occasions that require her to be in a secured area, away from causing mischief or being harmed. The Stay and Play set up is compact and easy to install, and Sadie can’t run underneath it haha. We feel secure knowing Sadie is safe, without building a dog fence that a horse would surely destroy! Happy dog, happy livestock, less stressed me! Happy life for us all.

    Great product, need better adjustable collar.

    The battery life is really good and it seems very durable. We used it at my in-laws and the range was good. The installation was easy enough to figure out. The only thing I had a problem with was the collar. It will adjust down to fit a 5 pound puppy but there is all this extra collar and no place to tuck it so the puppy can't chew on it. Other than the collar issue the product works great.

    I’ve been using the PetSafe Stay & Play Wireless Fence for a few months now, and overall, I’m delighted with the product.

    find a setting that worked without overdoing it. My only complaint is that the boundary can occasionally shift slightly, especially when large metal objects are nearby, which can be a bit confusing for my pet. Still, proper training and setup make it a very effective and convenient containment system. I’d recommend it to most pet owners, especially those with cooperative dogs and open yards.

    Great pet protection!

    The Pet Safe Stay and Play Wireless Fence is a great idea designed to keep your furry friends safe and secure within a certain area. The advanced technology this has to create a boundary without the need for fences, makes it great for pet owners who want to maintain the look of their yard without putting up a fence or for those whom rent, while also providing freedom for their pets.

    The waterproof receiver collar your pet wears will emit

    Read full review

    a warning beep when they approach the boundary, followed by a mild static correction if they continue to move closer. This training method effectively teaches pets their limits without causing them harm. Now, our golden-doodle did well with this method because he is use to wearing a bark collar so he knows his limits.

    Installation is pretty easy once you learn the basics of it since there are no wires to bury; simply plug in the transmitter, set your desired boundary radius, and you're ready to go. It did take us about an hour to learn the set up and placement of flags in our yard. The system is portable, which can be nice if you travel with your pets. I also love that the collar is rechargeable. We were also pleased with the range of the transmitter being left inside and not having to have on our porch, and still being able to effectively warn him if he stepped outside of boundaries we set.

    Would totally recommend this system to anyone who is struggling with an escape artist, or just wanting to keep their pet included with outdoor family activities

    3 dead collars

    I've had 3 collars die in 1-2 year spans. The warranty is for 1 year, so I now have 2 useless units and have to spend $150 for a new collar. I think I'm going to go with a new system altogether since a new collar is likely to die in a year or so. The range is also shorter than you would expect, which is why I ended up with 2 units.

    Best fence ever!

    I've had this wireless fence for a few years now and it's great! We have a Boxer that learned he can climb fences. This has kept him at the house, even if he gets outside the fence. It also keeps him from going to the rear of the property which is a little swampy. Rainy days I can set it for him to stay around the covered patio area and out of the muddy spots. We canbtake him on vacation with us and not worry he'll run off after

    a squirrel! The previous fence we had, he would barrel thru the perimiter because he learned that the beep and shock stop. This gives constant beeping warnings BEFORE the shock and actually keeps him in the perimeter!
    Even better is the customer service. Our newest puppy managed to get behind the cabinet were the base station was and he chewed the power cord. We ordered a replacement and it was here within the week! The charge cord for the collar got stuck when I was in a hurry & I broke the tip. Ordering a replacement was just as easy and it got here in 2 days! The service people are always great and helpful.

    Great for travel

    Works decently well for a smaller area. I liked taking it while we traveled and camped. It made having the dog out with us easier and gave more piece of mind. I wouldn’t trust my smaller dog with this only because she’s a street rescue and I don’t think the shock would bother her lol. Set up wasn’t hard for one person.

    I absolutely love the PetSafe Stay & Play Compact Wireless Fence—it was so easy to set up, and it’s given me total peace of mind knowing my dog can play safely without wandering off.

    Wireless dog fence

    This wireless dog fence has been a great alternative to the traditional in-ground systems—and it’s much more affordable. It covers up to 3/4 of an acre, which is more than enough space for most in-town neighborhoods. We have two dogs and simply purchased an extra collar, which was no problem at all and still far cheaper than hiring a company to install a wired system. We’ve been using it for a while now and haven’t had any issues with the

    Takes training but it effective

    I’m currently training my dog to learn the boundaries and am trying to use just the sound for now. I’m a bit hesitant to use the shock part, but my friend has a similar product and is a huge fan. His dog roams leash-free and never crosses the boundaries. Since my dog is still a puppy, I’m afraid he’ll chase after another dog and associate the shock with other dogs. So, I’m using the sound for now until he’s older. (Which is why I only gave it 4
