Petsafe Wireless Dog Fence Collar Compatibility
PetSafe, like the Invisible Fence brand, is an older supplier of underground, in-ground dog fence wire, and wireless dog fence systems.
They’ve also been quite creative. They’ve sold dozens of different inground Pet Safe systems, transmitters, and wired dog fence collars over the years.
Due to that, you may find yourself with two PetSafe products and you’re wondering if they are compatible.
Check out their compatibility page for a complete list of which PetSafe receiver collars work with which PetSafe transmitter.

Invisible FenceⓇ Brand Compatibility
Invisible Fence brand collars and receivers are compatible mostly with other Invisible Fence systems. They are not compatible with PetSafe, Extreme, Sport Dog, or Dogtra products. However, they are compatible with Pet Stop parts as Pet Stop was designed for Invisible Fence compatibility.
Invisible FenceⓇ was started in 1973 by Richard Peck, a traveling salesman that saw too many dogs roaming the roads and getting hit by cars.
The brand is sold through their website. It’s a form of underground dog fence. They offer high-end service that includes professional installation and connecting you with certified trainers.
Pet Stop, discussed next, was built to offer lower-cost replacement parts for Invisible FenceⓇ brand parts.

- PRF-275-19 Stubborn Dog In-Ground Receiver Collar
- PIG00-10778 Elite In-Ground Little Dog Receiver Collar
Sport Dog collars are not compatible with transmitters by other brands.
Extreme Dog Fence Brand Compatibility
Extreme Dog fence systems are not compatible with any other dog fence system, including the Invisible Fence brand. If your existing dog fence wire and receiver collar aren’t both made by Extreme Dog Fence then it won’t work.
Dogtra Underground Fence Compatibility
Dogtra sells one model of underground dog fence, the E-Fence 3500. It’s compatible with E-Fence 3500 receiver collars.
Dogtra collars are compatible with any Dogtra remote transmitter. Instructions for pairing the two devices can be found in their online manual.
In short, you’ll do the following:
- Turn on the transmitter and set it to 0.
- Place the red dot on the back of the transmitter next to the red dot on the receiver collar.
- Hold them for a minimum of 5 seconds until the green LED light starts blinking.
- When the green light on the receiver collar is blinking rapidly release them.
- Hold down the Nick and Constant buttons on the transmitter for at least 3 seconds until the rapidly blinking green light on the receiver collar slows down. It should blink more slowly about once every 4 seconds.
- Contact Dogtra at 1.888.811.9111 if you have other concerns.
How to Install a New Nylon Collar for your Extreme Dog Fence Receiver Collar
Where To Get Extra Collars And Receivers
You can find extra nylon replacement collars on Amazon. There’s a variety of brand names and generic models to choose from. Do this when the old collar gets dirty and smelly or you just want a new look.
See the example below. You want a replacement collar with pre-cut holes. We recommend this one specifically here. It comes in many color options:
DIY Option – You can also carefully cut new holes into a replacement collar with a hole punch and seal the sides with a lighter or preferably a soldering iron and make your own.
