Invisible Fence for Wellington County Properties
Wellington County offers everything from small-town lots to large rural acreages, and our invisible fence systems work well across the full range:
Fergus and Elora: These popular small towns along the Grand River have a mix of established residential lots and newer subdivisions. In-town installations are typically straightforward, 300 to 500 feet of wire, completed in 3–4 hours. Properties near the river gorge benefit from boundary placement that keeps dogs safely away from steep banks.
Guelph fringe and Erin: Properties on the edge of Guelph and in Erin often sit on larger lots with more acreage than typical suburban properties. These installations may need additional wire but are still far more affordable than physical fencing for the same area.
Rural Wellington: The county’s agricultural heartland around Mount Forest, Arthur, and Drayton features large properties where dogs often roam far from the house. We create containment zones around the home and yard area, keeping dogs close without restricting access to the rest of the property for supervised activities.
Horse and hobby farm properties: Wellington County has a significant equestrian and farming community. An invisible fence keeps dogs away from paddocks, barns, and livestock areas. We design boundaries that protect working areas while giving dogs freedom in the yard.

"Right from the very first email, Cameron was top notch. He replied very fast, he even reached out to me on a Saturday when I had a question. I reached out to a bunch of different invisible fencing companies and after I was done with them, I was sold on Cameron’s customer service. At this point I still didn’t know the cost, but I didn’t care. 10/10 rating."
"I would highly recommend Dog Fence Ontario. They offer a high-quality product and exceptional customer service. They came the same day despite being several hours away and just within their service area, fixed the problem, and charged a very reasonable rate. Dog Fence Ontario has been a pleasure to deal with!"
"I cannot recommend Dog Fence Ontario enough! We live about 3 hours away from St. Catharines; and yet, Dog Fence Ontario was at our house less than 48 hours after I initially called. When I text Cameron, he takes approximately 30 seconds to respond, even if it has been over a year since we last connected. Getting an invisible dog fence was the best investment we ever made."

Our Essential package starts at $1,945 + HST and covers most Wellington County installations. This includes 500 ft of wire, one rechargeable receiver collar, professional burial, GentleSteps training, and our 20-year UltraCare warranty.

Most installations in Wellington County take 3–5 hours. Guelph’s expanding suburban neighbourhoods are typically straightforward with standard lot sizes. Horse and hobby farm properties around Fergus, Elora, and Erin — which Wellington County has in abundance — may require larger perimeters and more wire, extending the installation toward 5 hours or longer. Every installation includes a property walkthrough, professional wire burial, transmitter setup, collar programming, and a hands-on training session.
Our system works year-round, but winter installation depends on ground conditions. Wellington County sits at a higher elevation than much of Southwestern Ontario, which means earlier frost and a shorter fall installation window. The ground around Fergus, Elora, and Mount Forest can freeze earlier than areas closer to the Great Lakes. We recommend booking by mid-fall to maximize your chance of getting installed before the ground hardens. Spring installations typically resume by late March or early April.
Your installation includes a complete, turnkey system: custom boundary design for your property, professional wire burial with 500 ft of 16-gauge copper-clad steel wire, transmitter setup, one rechargeable Pet Stop receiver collar, training flags, and a hands-on GentleSteps training session so your dog starts learning the same day. After installation, you get a training plan for the following week, unlimited phone support, one free revisit within 30 days, and our 20-year UltraCare warranty on all equipment.
