Electric Pet Fence Installation & Replacement

An electric pet fence installation & replacement will keep your pet inside your yard with minimal hassle

An electric pet fence often consists of wires run under the ground in place of a traditional fence, but the barrier can also be created wirelessly. Your pet is then equipped with a special collar and trained to know the boundary. This collar will emit a slight noise when the dog gets close to the fence and a slight shock when the dog gets too close. However, this shock can be adjusted or even turned off entirely if you are confident in your dog's training.

Advantages of electric pet fence installation & replacement

  • Affordable: Electric pet fences are less expensive than most traditional fences, sometimes dramatically.
  • Flexible: A traditional fence generally separates your yard from the rest of the neighborhood, but it’s not really practical to build a section just to protect your garden patch. With electric pet fences, this is actually an option.
  • Easy Installation: Your contractor can often install your electric pet fence in a weekend or less.
  • Minimal Maintenance: Besides replacing the batteries of the collar, there is almost no maintenance involved with an electric pet fence since it isn’t constantly exposed to the elements. With that said, you may occasionally need to repair the boundary wire if you have the in-ground option and not the wireless.

It should be noted that an electric pet fence is not the best option for all dogs, just like a traditional fence isn’t always ideal. For example, some dogs will ignore regular fences and dig under them while others will be more irritated by an electric pet fence since they can see beyond the fence, but don’t want to cross. One possible option is to install an electric pet fence alongside a traditional fence so you get both advantages, but like most pet care, the answer will depend on your particular dog.
