Wired = Most Reliable
A buried boundary that never moves. Clear training, consistent containment, and dependable performance in all seasons.
GPS = Flexible but
Less Consistent
Easy to move and useful on large, open properties, but boundaries can shift depending on signal conditions.
Wireless = Least Reliable,
No Customization
Simple setup, but fixed circular boundaries and limited control make it a short-term solution at best.
