1500+ Dogs Safely Trained To Stay In The Yard

Electric Dog Fence Training

The Nine Pillars of Training gradually exposes your dog to more and more real life distractions to ensure that your dog will always stay within the underground containment fence. Your dog will learn that the area beyond the flags is a total NO-GO zone no matter what is on the other side of the flags.

Once electric collar training is complete, your dog will have passed the Contain My Dog Nine Pillars of Training and is ready for his freedom safely within your yard.

The most important feature of the Contain My Dog Electronic Dog Containment System is the type of electronic dog collar training that your dog receives. The training is what ensures that your dog stays in your yard instead of running out to end up lost or hurt.

Successful electronic dog collar training will also avoid ‘Run-Through’ Syndrome. ‘Run-Through’ Syndrome is a learned behavior whereby a dog has mastered the ability to run through an electronic boundary swiftly to get what they want on the “other side.”Dogs learn this behavior because they are not thoroughly trained and tested with the electronic collar before being allowed to run freely in their yard.
After a dog learns to run through their underground fence boundaries, it is very difficult, if not impossible, for many dogs to ‘unlearn.’

Once a dog accepts or handles a shock, and receives the reward of what they wanted on the other side of the electronic fence, they learn that their reward far outweighs the momentary collar shock of a correction. The only way to deal with ‘Run-Through’ syndrome is to prevent it
by properly training the dog with the collar so they learn to stay safely within their electronic fence boundaries.

We had a problem with our electrical fence and one of the dog collars failed to keep a charge. We were very upset initially because we've had the fence for less than 3 years and this was the second time it's happened. However, Steve was very responsive and they rearranged their schedule in order to get a tech to our house first thing the next morning. And Nick, the tech, was on time, very nice, and knowledgeable. The problems were fixed without a fee. I recommend this company.

Contain my dog is an absolute life saver. My dogs and I could not be happier with this electric fence. It gives them so much freedom, but gives me peace of mind knowing they are safe. They get to be dogs, running and sniffing and getting out all their energy while staying within the boundaries we set. I have heard plenty of people say there are certain breeds that will not take to the fence training, but I disagree. I have 3 hound dogs, whose noses never stop, and they have a very high prey driv...

I had previously used another electric fence company and the training was very minimal and the equipment was always faulty and beeping in my garage. It seemed like they were constantly having to fix it - and charged me each time. They barely helped me train - they came to my house one time with the dogs and I was left having little clue what to do and was afraid to use the electric fence because my dog was getting zapped because I was never trained properly. When I moved to a new house, I dec...

I would recommend contain my dog to all, the service is wonderful. When I have a problem with my fence (very rare) I would text Steve and he would correct over the phone and any of my questions over the phone. I have had contain my dog for about five years . Way to go contain my dog crew! Keep up the great work.

Steve was unbelievable, taking all his time training our 4 monrh old puppy and us. Our puppy trained so easy and now has so much more freedom on our property. We love seeing her running and playing. We are happy we selected Contain My Dog.

From the first time Steve returned my first phone call, which was on Labor Day, I knew I wanted to go with his company. He listened to my concerns and never told me “that will be extra”. Besides his knowledge, experience and personality, is his commitment to training your dog(s) the proper way, no matter how many visits it takes. He even brings his own dogs to training sessions to ensure your dog’s ability to withstand distractions, which no one else does. He was proactive about finding ...

We are highly satisfied with the service we received from Contain My Dog and would recommend them to anyone with challenging pets. We have 3 high energy dogs who we thought were beyond training. I was thoroughly amazed at how quickly the dogs adapted to the new system. With the careful training provided by Steve and his staff, our pets learned their boundaries in a couple of weeks. We had tried a “do it yourself” system but the hassle of installation and the constant purchasing of batteries ...

In 2013 my wife and I decided we needed a dog fence. I looked at all the options (including doing it myself) and we decided to go local and contacted Steve at CMD. After the initial meeting and his interactions with our dogs we knew they were the ones to go with. Five years later we do not regret that decision. The CMD's (and Steve's) level of service is phenomenal and personalized to the point Steve will bring items to our house if needed. If you need a fence, you can't go wrong with them.

Over the years we've had many breeds of dogs and trained them well, but we were never confident of their recall when they caught the sight of a rabbit or squirrel. Since we installed our e-fence with Contain My Dog, we have full confidence in Monte not bolting into the woods and he equally enjoys the freedom and full access of the property. CMD worked with us installing the perimeter fence exactly how I wanted it. If anyone has reservations about this system, I assure you it's safe and worth it.

I am writing this review a little later on after my installation. I was very skeptical at first due to the fact that I have two labs, one was six months old and the other was 10 months old at the time I Purchased the system. I have had labs before and know how stubborn they could be. So here is my review my system has worked flawlessly, my installation was handled very professionally in neatly in a timely fashion. Steve has also gone above and beyond to answer any questions that I had at the tim...

I want to express what a wonderful experience it has been to work with Steve and the staff at Contain my dog fence co. We have had our fence for 4 years and it has allowed us to enjoy our two furry friends without concerns for their safety. Beyond that the staff is always professional , prompt and knowledgeable. We had an outage after an electrical storm and they swiftly identified the problem and fixed it. Truly above expectations. Wish all co. had the same customer service as Contain my Dog!�...

They've been great, Steve did a good job explaining their processes and costs up front. Communication has been great, he utilizes technology to stay in touch and always returns calls in short time. Evan has been primarily working with our 2 dogs and he's got them a long way. My dog Lucy is 9 years old, born stubborn, and loves to chase.. well... anything or anyone she sees. Today I got home and saw something I hadn't seen in 9 years, and really never knew if would - her leash was on the groun...

The installation and training I received was second to none. My expectations were pretty high and Steve and his crew surpassed them. I was impressed by the whole process....from setting up the installation appointment to the training sessions for both of our dogs. Whenever I have a question, I know I can call Contain My Dog and they will help me right away. This is not just a one and done type of service. This is an experience that extends well after the fence is installed. I would recomme...
