Underground dog fences can be safe and humane, but the equipment and training method matter. Some dogs have been frightened by improper settings or rushed training. At Hidden Pet Fence, preventing that fear is one of our highest priorities.
Our Condition Response Training protocol was developed by our owner, an IACP-certified dog trainer. Dogs are taught to recognize and respond primarily to the collar’s audible warning beep. We combine that sound with visible boundary flags, treats, praise, and repetition. These consistent cues help the dog understand the boundary while building confidence in the safe areas of the yard.
Hidden Pet Fence has trained thousands of dogs during more than 30 years of local service. Our trainers begin at the lowest appropriate level, and a mild sensation is used only if the dog ignores the warning and continues toward the boundary. Lightweight collars with gentle spring contacts improve comfort. Continuous Boundary technology provides additional protection for determined dogs that may otherwise try to run through the activation area. Our patient approach is reflected in more than 600 five-star Google reviews, many of which specifically praise our trainers and technicians.
Every package includes unlimited boundary training, so timid, sensitive, nervous, and stubborn dogs can learn at their own pace. Our systems are also supported by a money-back containment guarantee. By combining gentle training with reliable protection from roads and other dangers, Hidden Pet Fence provides Rochester families with a humane way to give their dogs greater outdoor freedom.
