How Our Invisible Fences Work

A buried wire creates an invisible boundary. Your dog wears a lightweight collar that beeps when they get close—teaching them to stay in the safe zone.

The Installation Process

From first call to happy, safely-contained dog—here's what to expect.

1

Free Consultation

We discuss your property, your dog, and your goals. Using Google Earth, we design a custom layout that fits how you actually use your yard.

2

Professional Installation

We bury the boundary wire 1-3 inches deep around your property and install the transmitter in your garage. Most installs take 2-4 hours.

GentleSteps™ Training

We train you and your dog together using our humane method. Starting with barely perceptible levels—just a tickle—we gradually teach boundaries without fear.

Ongoing Support

Training continues at home for about a week. Questions? Need adjustments? We're always just a phone call away—support is free, forever.

System Components

Three simple parts work together to keep your dog safely contained.

📡

Transmitter

Installed in your garage or basement, the transmitter sends a radio signal through the buried wire. Features surge protection and wire-break alerts.

Boundary Wire

Professional-grade jacketed copper wire buried 1-3 inches deep. Invisible once installed—won't affect your lawn mowing or landscaping.

🐶

Receiver Collar

Lightweight, rechargeable collar detects the boundary signal. Beeps as a warning, then delivers a safe correction if your dog doesn't turn back.

Layout Options

We design custom layouts for any property. Here are some of our most popular configurations.

Layout with exclusion zones for garden and play area

Perimeter with Exclusion Zones

Full yard access with specific areas blocked off. Perfect for protecting gardens, flower beds, pools, or kids' play areas from your dog.

Hourglass dual zone layout with separate front and back yards

Hourglass / Dual Zone

Front and back yards are separate zones with the side yards blocked. Your dog moves between zones through the house—great for controlling access.

Backyard single loop system

Backyard Single Loop

Contains your dog to the backyard only. The front yard stays pet-free—ideal for busy streets, landscaping, or if you just prefer backyard containment.

Banana loop backyard only layout

Banana Loop (Backyard Only)

Another backyard-only option using the house as part of the boundary. Simple and effective when front yard access isn't needed.

GentleSteps™ Training

Our exclusive training method is why we have a 99.5% containment rate.

Why Training Matters

The fence technology is only half the equation. Without proper training, dogs can become confused or fearful. Our GentleSteps™ method—developed by professional dog trainers—teaches boundaries using positive reinforcement and barely perceptible correction levels.

How It Works

We start at the lowest setting—what we call "just a tickle." Your dog learns to associate the beep with the boundary, not pain. Over the course of a week, we gradually introduce real-world distractions (squirrels, neighbors, delivery trucks) while reinforcing the training.

What Makes Us Different

Other companies use a "one size fits all" approach with high correction levels from day one. We customize settings for your dog's size, breed, and temperament. An 8-pound Yorkie gets different settings than a 100-pound German Shepherd.

The Result

A confident dog who understands their boundaries and respects them—without fear or anxiety. Most dogs learn within 7-10 days. And because we train you too, you'll know exactly how to reinforce the training and handle any situations that come up.
