Professional Wired Electronic Dog Fence Installation

A buried boundary wire creates a precise, repeatable containment area without changing the appearance of your yard. Custom layouts can protect the full property or establish off-limit areas around driveways, pools, gardens, docks, seawalls, lakes and canals. Considering GPS or wireless containment? Read our wired vs. GPS fence comparison.

How the Installation Process Works

1. Free Consultation

We discuss your property, pets, containment goals, equipment choices and training preferences.

2. Custom System Plan

We choose the boundary layout, receiver and transmitter options that fit the property and pet.

3. Professional Installation

Most residential installations take approximately three to four hours, depending on the boundary and site conditions.

4. Pet Stop GentleSteps™ Training

We introduce the boundary progressively and provide the selected level of hands-on training and follow-up.

 

Pet Stop GentleSteps Training

Boundary training is part of every installation consultation and is limited to electronic-containment training—not general obedience. Customers can choose introductory, assisted or complete training. Complete training commonly begins with about five sessions over approximately two weeks, with follow-up based on the pet’s progress. The Pet Stop GentleSteps™ process introduces the boundary gradually at low correction levels so the pet can learn calmly and consistently.

Electric Pet Fence Layouts

Every property and pet is different. The layouts below are common starting points for Broward and Palm Beach homes, but each wired electronic dog fence is designed around the yard, access points, water features, landscaping and the areas the pet should use or avoid. Some properties need more than a standard trenched route — see how more than 180 feet of conduit-protected wire was pulled by hand through dense woods for Whiskey and Traveler’s Wellington installation.

Full Perimeter Loop

Our most common layout installation is a Full Perimeter loop. This layout gives your pet free range to roam your entire yard but not leave it.

Figure 8 or “Pinch in”

Also common is the Figure 8 layout. It’s like the Full Perimeter loop, but with a pinch in the middle. This allows you to contain your dog in either the front yard or the back yard, it’s up to you.

Double Loop

The Double Loop layout is used to contain only the front or back yard. It’s generally only used when your property’s geography won’t allow for installation around the whole property.

Small yards are no problem at all for Pet Stop technology. Our boundary fences offer settings to create a one-sided signal zone around the perimeter wire in order to maximize the amount of yard your pet can enjoy.

The Pet Stop OT-300 transmitter is configured to the property, not sold to a fixed yard size. It is rated for properties up to 50 acres.

Acreage properties. The large Pet Stop installations are in Loxahatchee, Jupiter Farms and Wellington in Palm Beach County, and Southwest Ranches, Davie, Parkland and Plantation in Broward — typically covering five to ten acres. These use up to 10,000 feet of Pet Stop boundary wire in a heavier 12-gauge, paired with a 24-volt power supply to hold a consistent signal field across the whole boundary. A recent Pet Stop installation in Plantation covered 3.75 acres with approximately 3,100 feet of Pet Stop boundary wire and four pets on one shared boundary.

Compact lots. Intracoastal properties in Fort Lauderdale, Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Pompano Beach and Lighthouse Point, and golf course communities in Coral Springs, Deerfield Beach, Delray Beach, Boca Raton and Boynton Beach, are often a quarter acre or less. These use the Pet Stop Edge-to-Edge layout, which pushes the boundary closer to the property line so a small yard stays a usable yard.

The largest residential properties anywhere in Broward or Palm Beach County run to roughly fifteen to twenty acres, and a property that size is about one Pet Stop installation in five hundred. Both ends of that range are covered, and the Pet Stop design work is the same either way — the boundary is drawn around how the property is actually used.

Adding a pet means adding a collar, not another system.

One Pet Stop transmitter, one boundary, no limit on how many pets use it. Each receiver collar runs on its own power and holds its own settings, and no collar affects the signal field the Pet Stop transmitter creates. Whether one pet wears a collar or five do, the boundary is the same boundary.

Different pets, different boundaries — on the same Pet Stop wire. The Pet Stop EcoLite receiver, with or without Link, adjusts sensitivity per pet, which changes how close each one can get to the boundary before the Pet Stop collar responds. That solves a common problem in multi-pet homes. If one dog gets territorial or worked up at people and dogs going past, that dog can be held further back from the sidewalk. A calmer dog on the same Pet Stop system can be allowed right up close. Same wire, same transmitter, two different limits.

Every size. Teacup Yorkies to 180-pound Mastiffs, and everything in between. The Pet Stop EcoLite receiver weighs just under an ounce, which is what makes the small end possible.

Every temperament. A timid rescue mix needs a different approach than an exuberant Boxer. Golden Retrievers and doodles, Beagles and hounds following a nose, terriers with more determination than sense, easygoing Cavaliers — each gets its own Pet Stop collar settings and its own pace through training. That is the point of Pet Stop GentleSteps training: the correction level advances gradually to what that particular pet needs, rather than starting where a manual says it should.

Cats use the same Pet Stop system as dogs — the same boundary, the same wire, their own collar and their own settings.

About two-thirds of our Pet Stop installations in South Florida are on properties that already have a physical fence.

The dog is still getting out — digging under, jumping over, pushing through a gap, or going through a gate somebody left open. A wood or PVC fence marks a property line. It doesn’t teach a dog anything, and a determined dog treats it as an obstacle rather than a boundary.

A Pet Stop boundary wire can run along an existing fence line to address exactly that. With a Pet Stop collar fitted and Pet Stop GentleSteps training, the dog learns where the edge is and stops testing it, and the fence you already paid for stays where it is.

Our Lifetime Containment Guarantee

If you have a consistent containment issue, we want the chance to put it right. Most escapes turn out to be something simple — a collar that hasn’t been charged, a system without the optional battery backup that has lost power, or a collar worn too loosely — and we can usually sort those out over the phone. If the problem is genuinely ongoing, we come back to adjust the programming, and we do additional training with your dog if that’s what’s needed. If we cannot successfully contain your dog, we refund your money.

The guarantee lasts for the life of the system on our Link Ultra and Ecolite Pro packages. There’s no time limit and no expiry.
