Create pet-free zones inside your home — without baby gates or closed doors.
Indoor containment teaches your dog to avoid certain areas, not to be physically blocked from them. It's a training tool that creates consistent boundaries. If you need a guaranteed physical barrier (for example, a dog with bite risk around visitors), you'll still want doors, gates, and supervision. Indoor containment works best when you want to end the constant "no!" and door-shuffling — not replace safety precautions.
Not sure if an indoor system will work for your layout? Here's how we set them up.
Same concept as outdoor containment — just applied to specific spots inside your home.
Pick the room, doorway, or object you want to protect.
Wireless bubble or wired line — matched to your space.
Same receiver collar used for outdoor containment.
Audible tone alerts your dog when they approach.
If ignored, gentle static correction teaches avoidance.
Indoor systems work well for certain situations, but they're not the answer for everything.
After hundreds of installations, these are the scenarios we see most often.
Keep pets from sneaking into the baby's room during nap time — without closing the door and losing airflow.
Create invisible "lines" at specific doorways so pets enjoy main living areas but stay out of certain rooms.
Protect litter boxes, garbage areas, laundry rooms — anywhere you don't want dogs exploring.
Stop counter-surfing and keep pets out of the kitchen during meal prep or when guests are over.
Keep dogs off specific couches, chairs, or beds while still letting them enjoy the rest of the room.
Give cats access to certain areas while keeping dogs out, or vice versa — peace for everyone.
A lot of people don't realize pet containment systems can work indoors too. Here's what we hear most often.
No. The system uses a progressive approach: first an audible warning tone, then — only if ignored — a gentle static correction. The correction level is adjustable and typically set low for indoor use. Most dogs learn to respond to the warning tone alone within a few days. You're welcome to feel it on your hand during installation — it's a surprise, not a pain.
The system is adjustable across multiple levels, and we calibrate it to match your dog's temperament. Training matters most — a dog that understands the boundary will respect it. If something isn't working, we support you through adjustments. We don't promise magic, but with proper setup and training, it works for the vast majority of dogs.
Indoor containment is designed to teach avoidance — your dog learns to stay away from certain areas. It can also be configured to limit access to specific rooms (keeping a dog in the living room, for example), but it's a training-based system, not a physical barrier. Dogs that have completed training reliably stay within boundaries.
Yes. We use Pet Stop systems with GentleSteps™ training methodology, designed to be humane and low-stress. The static correction is brief, adjustable, and similar to static you'd feel touching a doorknob in winter. We guide you through training so your dog builds confidence, not fear.
Indoor containment only works if your dog understands it. That's why training and support come built into every installation.
Most indoor units cost $225 per protected area when added to an outdoor system. Standalone indoor-only setups are also available.
Final pricing depends on how many areas you want to protect, whether you need wired or wireless solutions, and whether you're bundling with outdoor containment.
