Dog Training for Outdoor Fences
We include training of your dog on the same day as the installation of your new underground dog fence. Our training program teaches your pets the new boundaries and 99% of the time we can have the dog off-leash before we leave!
99% of dogs we work with will be off-leash the same day we install your fence!
A Dog Guard outdoor electronic fence is simple, but highly effective: All it takes is a wire, a transmitter and receiver. Then, with training from our experts, your dog will be free to roam and explore—safely.
Professional Dog Training Included
Customer service and pet safety are extremely important to us which is why dog training is included with every dog fence installation.
We will train your pet the day of installation. We use a two step process involving a tone, flags and verbal command prior to giving any correction. We feel this is the most fair for your dog and this gives them the opportunity to understand the new boundary.
Once the dog becomes familiar with the visible boundary, the flags can be removed. After your system is activated, when your pet enters the reminder zone (typically 3 feet from the wire) they receive an audio signal with a mild correction stimulus, warning that they are approaching the boundary. If they continue towards the perimeter, the signal becomes more intense, reminding them to stay in the yard.
Our trained specialists will work with you and your pet throughout the initial process to make sure training techniques and boundaries are clearly defined and you pet stays safely in the yard!
FAQs About Dog Training
How long does it take to train a dog on a Dog Guard fence?
We will train your pet the day of installation. 99% of dogs we work with will be off-leash the same day we install your fence! You will need to supervise your dog in the area for at least 7 days before leaving them unattended.
What do I need to do to train the dog?
You will not need to spend hours training your dog. Instead, your responsibility is to supervise them in the area for at least 7 days before leaving them in the fence unattended.
How long until I can remove the flags?
Once the dog becomes familiar with the visible boundary, the flags can be removed. Begin removing the flags after 5 days. Start by removing every other flag while the dog is in the house. Five days later, remove 1/2 of the remaining flags. Five days later remove all of the flags. It is important not to take them all out at once or the dog will think you removed the fence.
