What is the Dog Guard System?
It is a transmitter that conveys a radio signal to thin wire, which is buried around your property.  This wire then transmits a signal to a small, lightweight receiver attached to the dog’s collar.  When the dog attempts to cross your set boundary, the wire transmits a signal to the receiver on the collar.  If the dog ignores the boundary, he/she receives a mild correction.

Why should you choose us to help with your dog containment needs?
First and foremost we are trainers!  This is what sets us apart from other electric fence companies.  We see each dog as an individual, with different motivations and drives.  This information is important for us to determine what might make your dog break his/her boundary.  We then use this information to customize your dog’s training.

.

Does the breed, size or gender of my dog matter when considering a containment system?
No it does not.  Again, it all relates to what motivates your dog, what may cause them to break their boundaries, and their sensitivity to corrections.  The equipment that we use offers the widest range of correction in the business, which also helps us to create a training program specific to your dog.

At what age should I start training my dog to a containment system?
We will not start any training for an electric containment system until a dog is at least 6 months.  All dogs go through a fear imprint time period between 4-6 months.  This means that if your dog receives an electric shock in this time period, it can possibly create behavioral problems in your dog.  Be wary of anyone that says they will start training earlier than 6 months.

Will you train my dog on a different containment system?
Yes we will!  Again, our training is based on your dog's natural drives and instincts.  This approach can be used with any system.
