Can an Underground Dog Fence Cover a Large Property?

Underground dog fences are an excellent containment option for large yards, farms, wooded properties, and rural acreage. Our professional systems can cover dozens of acres, but acreage alone does not determine which type of fence will work best.

Open, relatively flat land with minimal buildings may be suitable for a GPS dog fence. However, many large properties around Rochester and the Finger Lakes include woods, hills, structures, creeks, lakefronts, or other obstacles. In these situations, a professionally installed wired system usually provides a more precise and customizable boundary.

Our heavy-duty installation machines are designed to bury wire through rough terrain, wooded areas, and even creeks. When a section is too dense for machinery, our technicians are prepared to install that portion by hand. The boundary can also be customized to keep dogs away from nearly any unwanted area, including gardens, ponds, wooded sections, barns, or driveways. On waterfront properties, we can often design the fence to allow the dog access to the water if desired.

A large installation is an important investment, so professional planning and durable materials matter. We offer corrosion protection on qualifying wire packages and warranties on our equipment. Schedule a free on-site estimate to have an expert evaluate your property, discuss wired and GPS options, and design the right boundary for your land and dogs.

"My husband and I have been extremely pleased with Ralph and his staff at Hidden Pet Fence. Everyone has been exceptionally easy to work with, and when behavioral issues arose unrelated to the pet fence, Ralph helped to guide us to a trainer that can help us! We would recommend Hidden Pet Fence to anyone!"

"We loved working with this company. The fence they sold us in 1999 still works, and the 2 new puppies recently were trained to the system seamlessly, in just a week. The service Ralph gives is still wonderful even though he has grown so much since our original purchase. Great job."

"Ralph and Hidden Pet Fence have installed the there fence at two of my houses now. The price was very fair and the crew was professional. They even came back out the service my fence right away when I had a landscaping mishap! Jason"
