Safety & How It Feels For Your Dog

Is it safe for my dog?

Yes. The MicroLite® Computer Collar® uses a mild correction — less than the static shock you feel from a doorknob in winter. The collar gives a warning tone first, and most dogs learn to respect it within a few days.

Does it hurt my dog?

No. The correction is a startle, not pain. Millions of dogs have learned Invisible Fence boundaries safely over the last 50 years. Our Perfect Start Plus™ training protocol makes sure the experience is positive.

What if my dog is scared or nervous?

We've trained thousands of rescues, puppies, and anxious dogs. Our certified trainers adapt the approach to your dog's temperament — slower sessions, more reinforcement, whatever they need.

What about cats?

Yes, we offer Invisible Fence® solutions for cats too. Ask about it during your free consultation.

Breeds, Yards & Special Cases

Will it work for my breed?

We've trained every breed from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. We customize the Computer Collar® fit and the training intensity for your dog's size and personality.

What about big dogs or escape artists?

The system works for all sizes, and our training is especially good for dogs with escape habits. If your current fence can't contain them, Invisible Fence often can — because it addresses the behavior, not just the barrier.

What if my yard is unusual — hilly, wooded, irregular?

No problem. The boundary wire can follow any shape: curves, hills, wooded edges, gardens, pool exclusions. We design the custom layout during your free in-home assessment.

Can I add more dogs later?

Yes. The system handles unlimited pets — just add another Computer Collar®. Each additional collar runs $200–$400.

Will it work with my existing dog door?

Yes — ask about our Doorman™ indoor solution. It keeps your dog in specific rooms or out of specific areas inside the house, in addition to the outdoor boundary.

Can I move it if I move houses?

The collar and transmitter can come with you. The buried wire stays with the house. We offer discounted relocations for existing customers moving within our service area.

Installation, Training & Service

How long does installation take?

Most yards install in 4–6 hours. You don't need to do anything — we bring the equipment, dig the trench, bury the wire, and set up the transmitter. You come home to a finished system.

How long until my dog is trained?

Most dogs understand the boundary after 2–3 training sessions. Full off-leash reliability typically takes 7–14 days of consistent practice. Training is included in the install price.

What if something breaks?

Your Boundary Plus® transmitter alerts you instantly if a wire breaks. Call us and we'll usually fix it same-day or next-day. Within your warranty, service is free.

How long does the collar battery last?

The rechargeable MicroLite® lasts 2–3 months per charge. Older non-rechargeable models use a replaceable battery that lasts 3–6 months.

Pricing, Financing & Guarantees

How much does it cost?

Most yards are $1,500–$3,500 including installation, collar, and training. Final price depends on yard size and complexity — we give you an exact number during the free assessment, in writing.

Do you offer financing?

Yes. Monthly payment options are available through approved financing partners. Many customers pay $75–$150/month.

What's the guarantee?

One-year money-back performance guarantee. If your pet isn't satisfactorily contained within one year, we remove the system and refund your purchase. That's confidence you won't get from a DIY kit.

Why not just buy a DIY kit from a big-box store?

DIY kits have a high failure rate because they skip two crucial pieces: professional yard-specific installation and certified training. That's why our professional install can offer a money-back guarantee and most DIY kits can't.
