How an Electric Dog Fence Works: Everything You Need to Know

Protecting 250,000+ Dogs

Our underground dog fence is a proven system that is designed to ease the stress of letting your dog outside. Suitable for all breeds and sizes, this solution seamlessly fits into any size yard, giving you and your dog the best of both worlds – freedom and safety!

Professional training and unmatched service from our local business

We will train your pet the day of installation. We use a multi-step process involving a tone, flags and verbal command prior to giving any correction. We feel this is the most fair for your dog. This gives them the opportunity to understand the new boundary first and minimizes the number of corrections your pet receives.

Dog Guard Pro training dog

Your dog will be trained and off leash when we leave. We guarantee containment!

Once the dog becomes familiar with the visible boundary, the flags can be removed. After your system is activated, when your pet enters the reminder zone (typically 3 feet from the wire) they receive an audio signal with a mild correction stimulus, warning that they are approaching the boundary. If they continue towards the perimeter, the signal becomes more intense, reminding them to stay in the yard.
Our trained pet behavior specialists will work with you and your pet throughout the initial process to make sure training techniques and boundaries are clearly defined.

“We had a great experience with Dog Guard. The installation was fast, my dog responded very quickly to the fencing, and the training was easy! After trying Halo, Pet Safe, and other dog training equipment, I have been overwhelmed by how much I prefer this and feel like my dog is safe and contained!”
