Electric Dog Fence

1500+ Dogs Safely Trained To Stay In The Yard

Electric Dog Fence

el_dog_fence4The Contain My Dog Electronic Dog Containment Fence System is a method of pet containment that keeps your dog safely contained within an area you designate without the need for any physical barriers.
An electronic dog containment system is made up of three parts: the transmitter, a hidden wire that carries and broadcasts the radio signal, and the receiver electric collar. Your dog wears the electric collar which receives the radio signal from the underground, containment fence wire that goes around your yard.
When your dog approaches the underground fence, the signal is picked up by the electronic collar and a high pitched warning tone is heard by the dog.

In addition to this audible signal, flags are positioned in the containment fence area to provide visual cues. If the dog continues in the direction of the hidden, underground wire, AFTER hearing the warning tone, the dog will receive a mildly unpleasant shock (similar to the sensation you feel touching a metal door after walking on the carpet).

Through Incremental Distraction Training and the reminder cues of the flags and audible warning tone, the dog learns to avoid the designated area no matter what is on the other side of the containment area. The key defining factor in the success of an electronic dog containment fence system is professional training.

Keeping your dog safely in your yard with the Contain My Dog, safe pet containment system ensures that your dog stays safe so your pet will not be hurt by cars, get lost or worse. In addition, you can limit your dog’s roaming parameters to ensure that beautiful garden beds or any other areas you decide are “off-limits” are left untouched.

You can designate where in your yard your safe dog is free to roam. Our goal is to teach each pet to stay safely within their boundaries, thus delivering peace of mind to our family of clients.

Installation of your Electric Dog Fence

A safely contained dog begins with with proper installation of your hidden, underground dog fencing.

Your Contain My Dog Electronic Dog Fence consultant will walk the yard with you and go over exactly where you want your dog to be able to safely play and roam, and those areas you wish your dog to stay out of (flower beds, mulch, pool, etc.). We’ll mark the yard so you can see for yourself your dog’s “safe” areas and his “no go” areas.

When the underground dog fence installer arrives he’ll go over the containment area with you again, showing you where the dog’s boundaries will be, where the control panel will be installed and the location of the hidden, underground wire.

We use heavy duty wire to ensure proper conductivity and system functionality no matter the weather. All of our underground fencing systems include – at no additional charge – a lifetime warranty on the hidden, underground wire against failure as well as a lifetime warranty on all electronic components.

New lawn? No worries. We pride ourselves on low impact installation. At a recent pet containment installation a client asked when we were going to install the wire in the ground. When we told her we had already installed the wire she was amazed that we were able to do so without any meaningful disruption of the yard!

Outdoor Options

If desired, we can create ‘no go’ zones

(areas you want to keep your dog out of) around garden beds, children’s play areas, pools, and ponds.

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...

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...
