We all like to give our dogs a little off-leash freedom in the yard or when we take them places like to a park or camping.
Some dogs naturally stick pretty close while others try to run off if they’re not on a leash the whole time.
Long leashes/tethers are bothersome because then you’re untangling your dog EVERY TEN SECONDS to prevent Grandpa or little Timmy from tripping, right?
There are other options to help you give your pet dog a little a lot more freedom while considering safety.
Today I’m examining the Motorola TravelFence50, a wireless containment system for your pet dog with a handheld remote trainer. The system can be used in your yard OR for traveling to places like the beach, a park or Aunt Betty’s house.
I know some people are nervous about electronic collars, so I tried the TravelFence50’s highest modification level on the underside of my own wrist. It feels slightly stronger than a “ping” you’d feel when you “shock” yourself on a automobile door. It’s startling but not painful. The lower levels are more like a vibrating cell phone. All levels are meant to get a dog’s attention.
Overview of the Motorola TravelFence50
Here are the three main things you should know:
1. This is a WIRELESS containment fence created for easy travel – take it anywhere!
2. It comes with a handheld remote with a push-to-talk “walkie-talkie” feature so you can praise or right your pet dog from up to 300 yards away.
3. everything packs into a small bag for seriously easy travel.
The system is available on Amazon for $349 currently on sale for $289. Klikněte zde.

The TravelFence50 handheld remote push-to-talk feature
The Motorola TravelFence50 is the only wireless fence on the market created for both containment and training.
The handheld remote can be used with the wireless fence unit or for other training beyond the fence.
Josh and I are likely getting a weimaraner puppy this spring, and these dogs have a severe prey instinct. believe me, we are now a lot more interested in electronic training collars than we have been in the past! This handheld remote could come in helpful when we’re working on off-leash training with our future dog.
Also, while handheld remotes are typically associated with corrections, this particular system has a push-to-talk “walkie-talkie” feature that allows you to give your pet dog commands or praise from a distance.
The handheld remote allows you to use these options:
A push-to-talk “walkie talkie” feature to give praise or commands to your pet dog from a few hundred yards away. things like “No!” or “Come!” or “Yeah! hodný kluk!”
Warning tone or vibration to alert your pet dog or get his attention
Static corrections (up to 15 levels)
Consider using the TravelFence50 if:
1. You like to take your pet dog along on picnics, to various parks, camping or to the beach. I love to do all of these things with my dog.
2. Your pet dog travels along to your sister’s house or your parents’ house and they don’t have a fenced yard.
3. You’re like me and don’t have a fenced yard but would like to give your pup a lot more freedom.
4. You need to secure your pet dog from running into the road.
5. You need to keep your pet dog out of certain areas such as a pond, a compost area, a garden, etc.
How to train your pet dog on the wireless fence system
The Motorola TravelFence50 comes with a very valuable step-by-step training guide to show your pet dog how to react to the system’s alerting tones.
I trained my pet dog Ace on a similar electronic fence system at my parents’ house. This allowed my pet dog lots of years of off-leash freedom on their lakefront property, a lot of likely Ace’s favorite place on earth.
The first training step is to play with your pet dog on a leash and then walk him towards the boundary (marked with flags) while he wears the collar set to alerting tone. once you hear the tone, you would say “Get back!” and happily reward him for doing so with treats or praise. “Yay! What a good boy!”
After a couple of days, you would introduce a modification on a low level so your pet dog understands something follows the alerting beep. You would again step back with your pet dog away from the boundary and reward him.
It’s very easy to set up the boundary zone, which has a maximum coverage area of 1 acre. When your pet dog gets within 2 or 3 feet of the boundary zone, he will receive a alerting tone from the collar.
The system comes with 50 white flags you can set up to mark the boundary while your pet dog is in training.
What I like about the TravelFence50
It’s a high-quality, reliable product at a fair price. It must work well with nearly any pet dog 20 pounds and up.
I love that it comes with the handheld remote. This is very useful, depending on your training needs.
I thought the walkie-talkie feature sounded a little silly at first, but I actually really like the idea after trying it. terrific idea!
It’s so convenient that you can pack up the whole system and take it just about anywhere. Dogs really do learn to respond to the alerting tones and the visual flags help as well.
What’s not so good
The collar might be too big for dogs under 20 pounds.
You will need to recharge the collar every 3 or 4 days, depending on how long you use it (not a big deal).
Obviously no “fence” is 100 percent guaranteed to keep a pet dog confined. pet dog owners need to take that into consideration and supervise their dogs as needed.
