Can you buy another brand and do a quick test yourself? Then just return if it doesn't. I imagine it's just emitting some emf and any receiver can pick up signals. Depending on how sensitive stuff is, it might need to be tuned to certain frequencies.

I think so. I was hoping someone had experience with mixed brand, but it looks like I'll be taking take your advice :)
I'm sometimes baffled by people. My dog is a member of my family not a pet. My job is to protect her not hurt her. Surely a tall enough fence and a solution to prevent digging under are better than a torture device???
Are you guys all locking your dogs outside for long periods unsupervised?
There are better ways of containing your dog. Like an actual fence. Don't cause your dog pain for your own convenience. They don't even keep the dog in, a good run up, for example if they are being chased by something, they can be outside before they feel anything and then unable to return home.
This may be true for some breeds, but not for huskies. At the animal shelter, several people told me that they get many husky strays, because the dig under or hop over fences. They all, separately, recommended that I use an electric fence. Not believing them, and since I don't like electric fences, I asked the vet, who said the same thing. I asked about a tall fence, but the vet urged me to get an electric fence. For other dog breeds, a fence is good enough. For huskies, a fence will not work long-term.
E: the vet also recommended a tether, since I don't like electric fences. But I can't bring myself to tether him. What if he gets wrapped up in something and gets hurt or killed? I won't risk that.
You can't bring yourself to tether him but electrocution is just fine?? That makes no sense.
Huskies are escape artists, they will get out of nearly anything eventually if left to their own devices, including an electric fence, you need to supervise them. A fence with a top that leans in is the best method.
