1. Select a Dog Fence System

There are many factors to consider when selecting a  system. Which system is best for your dog and your yard?  Our product descriptions feature in depth information and real world reviews to help aid you in the decision process. Our most popular fence for small dogs is the PetSafe^® Little Dog System.  The compact receiver collar and lower correction levels are ideal for dogs 5lbs and up.

For average to large dogs we recommend the Innotek™ UltraSmart in-ground fence system. This system offers great value and features a coveted rechargeable receiver collar. 

Our top pick for the larger dogs is the SportDOG® SDF-100A.  This system is packed with features and is tailor made for larger or more stubborn dogs.

Flexpetz also carries a selection of wireless dog fences.  These fences do not require a wire to be buried in the ground.  Wireless dog fences do have some limitations.  Please see our detailed product reviews for more information. We objectively reveiw all proudcts that we sell on all product pages we also have extensive customer reviews on our product pages. 

After you have selected a dog fence system consider what options you might need for your particular geographic are if durability and longevity are a concern we recommend heavier duty dog fence wire than the manufacturers package in most kits. Most  of the manufacturers package the kits with a very low grade 20 guage wire Flexpetz.com sells a much heavy grade plastic coated wire that you would get if you had a professional company install the fence for you. Lighting strikes can be a commonly associated problem with electric dog fence systems, many underground fence kits also come with low grade surge protection or no surge protection at all we sell heavy duty dog fence surge protector if you live in a high prone lighting area you defiantly want to consider a dog fence surge protector or a professional grade dog fence surge protector.

2. Electric Dog Fence Installation

The easiest and most successful installations all start with a good plan!  Making a quick sketch of your property and where you would like your dog to have access (or not) will go a long way to speeding your installation. Consult our  Planning Guide section for layout suggestions as well as pitfalls to avoid. 

Once you have planned your layout choose your method of installation. You can bury the  line with a machine or by hand, attach the wire to an existing physical barrier, or even use garden staples to tack your wire to the ground.

The installation process is a simple DIY project.  Our Flexpetz Installation Guide has all the info you need to successfully install and set up your system as well as helpful tips and suggestions from the pros.

3. Training

The most important part of the process is proper training.  You and your dog need to be confident that he will stay in your yard in all scenarios.  You will need a long leash and meat or moist dog treats to get started.  We recommend two, short (10-15 minute), training sessions a day for approximately two weeks to ensure safe containment. 

You’ll spend the first week showing your dog his new boundary vs. the street, your neighbor’s yard, etc.  You’ll spend time establishing the area your dog is to stay in to be sure she learns the entire perimeter.  The second phase of training involves using distractions to ensure your dog is able to handle himself in everyday situations.  We recommend doing training sessions when distractions are present.  Common distractions include cars, children, bikers, and joggers. 

Every system comes with a complete training guide.  We are also available via our live chat link, email, or phone to help you you’re your training questions. Our experienced technicians are happy to answer any questions regarding training, installation or choosing the perfect pet fence system for you and your dog!

You can install an underground system for a fraction of the cost of a professionally branded system and get the same great results.
