Central Wisconsin Underground Dog Fence Installation Services

Forget DIY kits: we’ll install a new underground pet containment system for you and help train your dog. Our goal is your satisfaction and your pet’s safety. We’re there when you need support, and will use our expertise to ensure your system is not only set up properly but no stronger or weaker than your dog needs to stay contained.

When You Choose a Dog Guard® System, You Get:

  • 1 Dog Guard® transmitter — Sends a radio signal to the buried boundary wire

  • 1 receiver with nylon collar and battery — Worn by your dog to deliver stimuli in the correction zone

  • Boundary flags — Used during training to indicate the location of the fence

  • Dog Training Program conducted by an experienced, professional dog trainer

  • Year-round service and support

How the Dog Guard® Underground Dog Fence System Works:

1

First, a transmitter is installed in a convenient location, such as the garage or basement.

2

Then, the wire loop is placed underground. The transmitter sends a harmless radio signal through the wire, which is picked up by the small receiver on the dog’s collar.

3

When the dog nears the wire, the receiver in the pet’s collar picks up the signal and gives off the owner’s choice of an audible warning or mild correction.

4

The boundary is marked off with flags, creating a visible boundary line for the pet. For two weeks, the dog owner should spend fifteen minutes, twice daily, exercising the dog around the flag boundary.

5

If the dog moves toward the flags, he should be told “No!” The dog should then be moved away from the flags and given lots of praise. By using this technique, the dog will quickly learn where the boundary is located.

6

Later, once the dog becomes familiar with the visible boundary, the flags can be removed. Remember, praise and repetition are the keys to success!

How Dog Guard® Stands Out from the Pack

Dual Correction Zones

Our exclusive technology includes a reminder zone within 3–6 feet of the boundary. When dogs enter this secondary zone, they are sent an audible reminder to turn around.

Full-service Package

When you choose Dog Guard®, we provide a complete pet containment system that includes professional installation, training, and year-round support.

Flexible System

Our American designed and assembled system includes receivers. With 4 different sizes and 32 correction levels, our system is flexible enough to contain a variety of dog breeds. Our transmitter is also powerful enough to enclose up to 50 acres of property.

An Underground Dog Fence for Ray’s Labs in Wood County

Ray lived out in the country with his two labs on a large property near Wisconsin Rapids. He was concerned about his labs getting hit on the busy round in front of his house and was unable to chase after them. Dog Guard® installed the fence, helped train the dogs, and returned to readjust the fence to account for the second dog’s stronger prey drive. Now, the underground dog fence creates a firm barrier between Ray’s dogs and danger.

Dave at Dog Guard® was very helpful in designing the perfect fence for our labs. They did a super job on the install and training. I have recommended Dog Guard® to a number of friends."

Fencing a Working Cranberry Bog Near Marshfield

Deb lived on a cranberry bog she owned with her husband and three dogs. She needed a fence to protect her dogs from the trucks that drove around her property every day, so she decided to call Dog Guard®. We installed a fence and the dogs quickly learned to stay within the fence’s boundaries during training. Now, her children own Dog Guard® underground dog fences, too, and so do the owners of another cranberry bog down the road.

This fence makes life so much easier. I’d recommend them to anyone!”

Dog Guard® Underground Dog Fence FAQs

Is Correcting My Dog All the Time Mean?

Our system has been thoroughly tested and our combination of training and electronics is veterinarian approved. The correction is similar to a shock from a doorknob, and is harmless.

We adjust the level of the correction according to your dog’s size, personality, and breed in order to provide just enough of an unpleasant stimulation that they learn to avoid crossing the boundary. Most pets only receive two or three corrections.

How Do I Take My Dog for a Walk?

After training on the system is complete, take the receiver collar off your pet and they will be able to cross the boundary without receiving a correction.

How Do I Know the Underground Dog Fence Is Working?

Call your local dealer if the yellow light on your transmitter is illuminated. This means a power surge or lightning strike might have damaged your system. If only the red and green lights on the transmitter are illuminated, however, all is functional.

Are Dog Guard® Batteries Rechargeable?

No, but we have 1-3 year battery plans you can purchase so you never run out of energy. Give us a call at 608-628-2609 to learn more.

What Is the Difference Between Your Product And Something I Can Install Myself?

Dog Guard® is a full-service solution, including equipment, installation, training, a 30-day money back guarantee, and limited lifetime warranty on your equipment.

This way, you don’t have to figure everything out yourself—unlike a DIY fence kit from a retail store—and if something goes wrong, you have someone nearby to ask for help.

Plus, we think our fence is higher quality and more flexible. It has 32 correction levels, multiple receiver sizes for different dog temperaments and sizes, a signal that doesn’t correct your dog in areas with stray signals, and underground rated wire especially designed to be buried.

Will This System Work for My Dog?

The Dog Guard® system has been containing dogs since 1988, so you can be pretty certain our system works. At the same time, every dog is different. Some are easier than others to train.

Sometimes, a dog cannot be trained, and an underground dog fence might not be the right solution for you. This is why we have a 30-day money back guarantee.

How Many Pets Can I Have on This System?

One of our clients has 28 dogs on the same system. You can have nearly as many as you want within 50 acres of land—the maximum reach of our signal.

What If The Power Fails?

A battery backup is available for purchase in case your power goes out. It will last you for hours until it comes back on.

What Is The Price for a Dog Guard® System?

The exact cost depends on the number of dogs on your system and the size of the area your fence will cover. We offer free estimates so you can see the exact cost for yourself.

In general, though, our systems cost significantly less than traditional fencing, without the middleman costs, and with fewer maintenance costs.
