Invisible Fence® uses proprietary batteries that cost about $25 every 3 months—per dog. Over 10 years, that's $1,000 per dog just in batteries.
Our collars are fully rechargeable. Plug them in overnight once a month, and you're done. Zero ongoing costs.
Invisible Fence® collars are bulky—they only work for dogs 15 pounds and up. If you have a Yorkie, Chihuahua, or small breed, they'll tell you it won't work.
Our Pet Stop collars are the smallest and lightest on the market. We've successfully contained dogs as small as 8 pounds.
With Invisible Fence®, if you need to adjust your dog's collar settings—maybe they've gotten more confident, or you adopted a new dog—you have to pay for a technician to come out.
With us, just call. We'll walk you through adjustments over the phone, or you can use the LINK app to do it yourself. Free, forever.
Why does a competitor to Invisible Fence® even exist?
John Purtell invented the original invisible fence concept and founded the Invisible Fence® company in the 1970s. He literally coined the term "invisible fence."
But he eventually left that company and founded Perimeter Technologies®, which makes the Pet Stop® products we install. Why? Because he saw ways to make the technology better—rechargeable batteries, smaller collars, more customizable settings, better training methods.
When you choose Dog Fence Ontario, you're getting technology designed by the original inventor, improved over 25+ years. The Invisible Fence® brand is still selling yesterday's technology at premium prices.
