Next it is time for the
dog fence installation. Start by planning the layout of your system. Learn about how twisted wire is
used to cause non-correction parts of the installation. Once it comes time for
the actual installation, there are a variety of methods. Some people will no
bury the wire at all, stapling it to the ground or a convenient fence. Burial
can be made much faster and easier by renting a wire laying trencher or using
your garden edger. If you need to get across a driveway, we can make that
painless too. Then hook up you system and start training.
Finally, it is time to train your dog. This is the most important step in the process and when done correctly your dog will be conditioned to stay within the electric fence boundries of your yard. This training takes about 10 minutes twice a day for an average of 10 days. For the details, visit our
