3 Questions to Ask Electric Dog Fence Installers

If you're a dog parent, you want your pet to enjoy time outside all while staying safe. One of the best ways to ensure both is by installing an electric dog fence. This type of fence provides an invisible perimeter your pup is trained to stay inside of thanks to the use of an electric collar. Here are questions to ask electric dog fence installers before hiring them.

1. Why Should I Get This Fence?

An electric dog fence comes in handy for people who live in open spaces and don't want to feel bound by a visible fence. Dog Guard electric fences are installed underground, so your dogs continue to experience the openness and freedom they crave while staying safe and secure in their boundaries. If you're worried about your pup running onto the street or over to neighbors' properties, you may need additional control when you're not watching them 24/7.

2. Does My Dog Need Training With It?

Absolutely! Your dog will need some training to understand the new boundaries. But don't worry—dogs are super trainable and can learn up to 200 commands! Training starts on a leash as you introduce the boundary signal. Once your dog gets the hang of it, you can try off-leash training. Our electric dog fence installers can also help with the training, so be sure to book an appointment to learn more. We look forward to hearing from you and discussing our fencing in more depth with you.

3. Can I Control the Fence?

Yes, you can! Once you know how the system works, you can control the fence yourself. Many systems come with a remote that lets you adjust the signal as needed. Some even allow you to give manual commands if your dog steps out of bounds. The level of control depends on the system, but you'll have the flexibility to tailor it to your dog's needs.

In 2024, 66% of American homes had at least one pet, according to Dogster. We all want our pets to be happy and safe while enjoying the great outdoors. That's where electric dog fences come in.
