A wireless animal location system is provided that identifies a location of a pet roaming within an environment and tracks/manages animal behavior in the environment using information of pet location. The wireless pet location system (or containment system) may disallow access to an area within an environment by applying a negative stimulus when an animal enters a prohibited location. The system may allow the animal free and unimpeded access to other portions of the environment. For example, the system may forgo adverse stimulus when the animal is in desired locations such as animal bedding areas or dedicated animal play areas. The system may simply log an event in order to compile information regarding the animal's behavior.
