Preparing for your Free Estimate

Home / Blog / Preparing for your Free Estimate

Many pet owners are excited to schedule their free estimate, but a little preparation can make your appointment even more productive. At Hidden Pet Fence, our goal is to design a system that fits both your property and your pet’s personality, and a few simple steps before we arrive can help us make the most of your visit.

First, take a few minutes to think about how you use your yard. Are there specific areas you want your dog to access, such as a pool, garden, patio, or play area? Are there spaces you would like to keep off limits? Having a general idea of your goals helps us design a custom containment layout that works for your family.

Next, make sure all decision makers can be part of the estimate if possible. Fence placement, training plans, and equipment options are important decisions, and it helps when everyone can ask questions and share input during the visit.

It can also be helpful to make a list of questions before your appointment. You may want to ask about training timelines, collar features, battery life, warranty coverage, service options, or how the system can be customized for your property. Writing your questions down ahead of time helps ensure nothing important gets overlooked during your visit.

Finally, if your pets are comfortable meeting new people, having them available during the estimate can be helpful. We love getting to know the pets we will be helping protect.

A little preparation goes a long way, and we look forward to helping you create a safer, happier outdoor space for your pets.

Client Testimonials

Danielle Ballard - Rochester, NY

"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"
