DogFence -Installation

Installation

DogFence offer two options for installing our hidden fences, you can either book our installation and training service to install and train your dog/s on the system or purchase the fence as a mail order system to self install and train yourself.

Installation & Training Service

DogFence are unique in that we are the ONLY UK Company to offer Professional installation & onsite training with you and your dog. With years of experience and together with a training programme developed by DogWatch we obtain a 100% success rate.

On the day of installation the trainer will walk the property with you to discuss the best route for the cable in order to give maximum room in the area allowed and also to prevent a possible boundary cable break. We always ensure that we install your system to the highest standards by using our discreet cable laying machine which makes minimal disturbance to your formal lawns and reduces the chances of a cable break. After burial a small groove (approx ¼” may be seen for few days). The cable will be buried under your driveway (tarmac & concrete drives will receive a small ½” cut which will be sealed afterwards, gravel and loose surfaces will receive a conduit to take the cable).

Once your system is installed the installer/trainer will commence training the dog/s on the hidden fence. If you have more than one dog he will carry out the training individually. The trainer will go through a comprehensive training programme with each dog individually. He will usually involve the customer in the final stage of the programme (distraction training) and once satisfied that the dog fully understands the system he will hand over the dog/s to the customer. He will also run through the operation of the equipment, correct collar fit and setting the training levels for future reference. We are proud to be able to boast a 100% success rate on our installed systems.

We are always on hand to answer any queries/concerns that you may have with your system and or dog/s.

Lifetime Containment Guarantee*

If you use our installation & training service we guarantee to keep your dog safe at home for the lifetime that you are using the system.

Self Install

If you decide to self install we will provide you with an installation & training DVD and as much telephone support as required. The cable does not have to be buried; it can be tacked to existing fencing, threaded through hedging or simply surface laid. Should you decide to self install we supply you with same heavy duty cable that we use on our installed systems.

All dogs are different, as with people, they all have different personalities and we advise our customers not to expect each dog to react in the same way. Some dogs require very little training, accepting and understanding the fence easily, whereas others need reassurance and guidance to gain confidence in this new concept. All dogs should be proficient with the system within 10 days. We are happy to advise you on the correct collar fit and training levels suitable for your breed and age of dog.
