There are various ways to lay out your boundary loop, however, the easiest and most effective is to surround the whole of the property, this gives added security and is the easiest route for most installations.

Adjacent are some illustrations showing various other layouts that may be of interest to our customers.

 
Self Installation

Does the dog fence have to be buried?

No, you can surface lay the cable, tack to existing fencing, or run your cable through hedges. We do advice that you make any cuts across driveways and place the cable just under the ground, however, you can run the cable through hose or conduit to give added protection if you feel you are unable to cut your driveway.

Installation Service

DogFence offer a full installation & training service by our own trained staff. The DogFence staff will discuss your requirements with you and on the day of installation, will walk the property to survey the terrain and determine the best route for the fence for both you and your dog/s.

Where possible the fence will be buried using our unique cabling system. This makes the fence not only invisible but also reduces the chance of the cable being damaged.

Once your system is installed, the installer will commence the training with your dog/s on the hidden fence. If you have more than 1 dog, he will carry out the training individually. After the training period, the installer will speak to you about your dogs progress and run through a reinforcing programme for the next 2 - 3 days (this is usually around 10 – 15 mins) per day.

All dogs are different, as with people, they all have different personalities and we advice our customers not to expect each dog to react in the same way. Some dogs require very little reinforcing training, accepting and understanding the fence almost immediately, whereas others need reassurance and guidance to gain confidence in this new boundaries concept. All dogs should be proficient with the dog fence system within 10 days.
