The present invention relates to an electronic containment system including one or more site units and one or more pet units. The site unit couples to a geographic site, while the pet unit is worn by a pet. Each unit includes a transceiver, and may be paired such that a unit connected to a facility or site selectively activates an alarm on the pet unit to direct the pet away from the facility. Specifically, a user enters user-defined parameters such as pet identification, permitted access level, and type of notification. A first pet unit may be programmed to permit a first pet access to the site, while a second pet unit may be programmed to deny a second pet access to the site.
