Trusted Fence Contractors in Fall River, MA

Not many! The wire needs a complete loop around your property. We can dig up a brick path if we need and then reposition them, run the wire through rocks, staple the wire in any woods you have and do all this will as minimal an impact as possible to your yard. Most of the time you will not even know where the wire has gone! We can even run the wire through a stream or pond on your property to extend your dogs area!

For concrete driveways, we will use one of the stress cracks to place the wire and then reseal it. An asphalt driveway will receive a cut about a half inch down the width of the driveway which will hold the wire and then be sealed. The only way to put the wire under a driveway is if there is a pipe that has been installed to run the wire through below the surface.

It really does depend on your dog. Typically we can begin if the dog is both, three to four months old and at least fifteen pounds. The weight requirement will vary with the type of dog. We will also look at the temperament and behavior of your dog. If your dog is a six year old rescue pup that you got the week before, we may want to give you sometime getting to know each other before we begin training. A good option for this type of situation if that we can install the dog fence and place the flags around your property so that you know where the boundary area will be and then come back at some point to start your dog fence training!

Every dog is truly different. Two golden retrievers from the same little have been known to learn at a different pace. Most dogs adapt to their new boundary areas within a couple of weeks or so. Sometimes a certain breed will learn very fast while others learn slower, but they all eventually learn the system. If you have a very aggressive dog or one that has had a troubled past, we will have to handle them on a case by case basis.

Of course! During the training phase we prefer that you focus on walking your dog within your yard but it is still fine to walk them around the neighborhood. You can not, however, just turn the system off and let them walk past the boundary flags. There are a few techniques that will be used to get your dog out that we will go over during the training but they can still get to their lunch dates at the dog park!
