How Dog Fencing Works
We Design Your Boundary
We map a custom boundary around your property, including exclusion zones for gardens, pools, or driveways. You decide where your dog can and cannot go.
We Install It
We bury the boundary wire about 4 inches deep around the perimeter. Most installations take 3 to 5 hours, and we clean up when we are done.
We Train Your Dog
On install day we start GentleSteps™ training and give you a simple daily plan. Most dogs learn the boundary in about a week, and phone support is included for life.
Wire Layouts for Any Yard
Every property is different. We design a custom boundary to fit your lot, your dog, and the areas you want off limits. Here are the layouts we install most often.
Standard Perimeter
Wire runs around your entire property, front yard, back yard, and side yards. Your dog has full access to roam everywhere within the boundary. This is our most popular layout and works for any lot shape: square, L-shaped, or irregular.
With Exclusion Zones
Full perimeter coverage with specific areas blocked off inside your yard. Keep your dog out of the vegetable garden, away from the pool, or off the kids' play structure.
Dual Zone / Hourglass
Front and back yards are separate zones with side yards blocked. Your dog can only move between zones by going through the house. Great for controlling when your dog has front yard access.
Backyard Only (Double Loop)
Contains your dog to the backyard only. The front yard stays pet-free. Uses a "double-back loop" where wire runs out and back along the same path.
Banana Loop
Uses your house as part of the boundary. Wire runs from one back corner of your house, around the backyard, and to the other corner. Simple and effective for backyard-only containment.
Waterfront / Lake Access
We can give your dog access to docks, beaches, or shorelines while keeping them contained to your property. Waterfront layouts require careful planning, we'll discuss the safest approach during your consultation.
Existing Fence Integration
Already have a fence but your dog finds ways out? We can add an invisible fence as a backup, closing gaps under gates, preventing jumping, or covering areas where traditional fencing isn't possible.

Rechargeable Collars, No Battery Costs
Competitors use batteries (about 4 per year at ~$25 each). Our rechargeable collars save you $1,000+ over 10 years, per dog.
Your Dog Learns Without Fear
Our GentleSteps™ method uses barely perceptible levels at first, just a tickle. Most dogs learn the boundary calmly, usually within about a week.
Your Dog Stays Safe, Guaranteed
If we can't keep your pet safely contained within 12 months, you get a refund (training requirements apply). We've only had 5 dogs we couldn't contain in 16 years.
Is an Underground Dog Fence Right for You?
Works well for: dogs of any size (no minimum weight) and any breed, puppies from 12 weeks to seniors, and yards of almost any shape or size, from small lots to 30+ acres. The receiver collar plus strap weigh about 2 oz total.
Worth knowing: it is a training-based boundary, not a physical barrier, so it keeps your dog in but will not keep other animals out, and it works best when you follow the short training plan in the first week.
