Professional training and unmatched service from our local business
We will train your pet the day of installation. We use a multi-step process involving a tone, flags and verbal command prior to giving any correction. We feel this is the most fair for your dog. This gives them the opportunity to understand the new boundary first and minimizes the number of corrections your pet receives.
Your dog will be trained and off leash when we leave. We guarantee containment!
Once the dog becomes familiar with the visible boundary, the flags can be removed. After your system is activated, when your pet enters the reminder zone (typically 3 feet from the wire) they receive an audio signal with a mild correction stimulus, warning that they are approaching the boundary. If they continue towards the perimeter, the signal becomes more intense, reminding them to stay in the yard.
Our trained pet behavior specialists will work with you and your pet throughout the initial process to make sure training techniques and boundaries are clearly defined.

“Ervin Zook did the complete installation and training of our dog, Luna, in about 3-4 hours. Ervin did a professional job and was great with Luna. Very knowledgeable about system and and explaining what to watch for when operating the system. The price was very fair when comparing to other fence companies.”
"I highly recommend using Ervin to install your pet fence. He is very professional, extremely polite, and great with our dog. After meeting Ervin, we scheduled the appointment to have the fence installed. Ervin and his team were punctual and didn't hesitate or waste any time in starting the project. They completed the job faster than I anticipated and then spent time showing/teaching the dog, and us, about the fence. Ervin is very knowledgeable about the product he is installing. I am very pleased with the fence and the service that was provided."
