Honest answers to the questions Central Texas dog owners ask us most. Still curious? Give us a call.
Yes. The collar delivers a brief, mild static cue, much like the small static shock you feel touching a doorknob. It is designed to get your dog's attention, not to hurt them. On top of that, our reward-first training teaches the boundary with flags, treats, and praise, so most dogs learn to stop at the warning tone and rarely if ever feel the static cue.
It works for the large majority of dogs over roughly eight pounds, from small terriers to giant breeds. During training we fit the collar properly and set the cue to the lowest level your individual dog responds to. If we ever feel a hidden fence is not the right choice for your particular dog, we will tell you honestly.
We bury the wire a few inches below the surface, deep enough to stay clear of normal mowing and foot traffic. Across driveways and sidewalks we cut a thin slot and seal it so the wire is protected and invisible.
Most standard residential yards are installed in a single day. Larger or more complex properties may take a bit longer, and we will give you a clear timeline when we quote your job.
Every install includes our HomeRange Method. A certified trainer starts your dog off, then you continue with short, upbeat daily sessions over about two weeks. We build from flags and treats up to the warning tone, so your dog learns to turn back on their own. We also offer free refreshers if needed.
Of course. You simply take the collar off and lead your dog across the boundary on a leash, the same way you would head out a gate. Dogs quickly learn that the boundary only applies when the collar is on and they are off leash in the yard.
Your transmitter can be set up with a battery backup so the system keeps working through short outages. The unit also has an alarm that alerts you if the boundary wire is ever broken, so you always know the fence is active.
Price depends on your yard size, the layout you want, and how many dogs you have, so we quote each property individually. Every package includes equipment, professional install, full training, and the warranty. Your in-person consultation comes with an exact, no-obligation price, and financing is available with approved credit.
Yes. Every system carries a lifetime equipment warranty against defects, plus a 30-day money-back containment guarantee. If your dog is not reliably contained, we keep working with you until they are or we refund the containment portion of your package.
In most cases yes. We can remove the transmitter and collars and reinstall a new boundary at your next home, and existing customers get a discount on a move. Just give us a call when you have a new address.
A single system can support as many dogs as you like. Each dog simply needs their own properly fitted collar and a short training program, which we are happy to handle.
We do, including systems other companies installed. We offer wire-break locates, repairs, transmitter replacement, collar service, and battery supply throughout our Central Texas service area.
