How the System Works The PetSafe® Wireless Pet Containment System® has been proven safe, comfortable, and effective for pets over 8 pounds. The system works by transmitting a radio signal up to 90 feet in all directions. You temporarily define the Pet Area with Boundary Flags for a visual aid in training your pet. Your pet wears a Receiver Collar with Contact Points that touch his neck, and, once trained, is allowed to roam freely in the Pet Area.
