How Professional Dog Fence Installation Works

Installing a DogFence system is a straightforward process designed to make securing your garden simple and stress-free. From the initial quotation to training your dog, our experienced team manages every step of the installation.

Our goal is to create a precise and reliable invisible boundary that keeps your dog safely contained while allowing them to enjoy the freedom of your garden.

1. Free Online Quote and Boundary Planning

Most installations begin with a free online quotation.

Using satellite mapping software, we can review your property remotely and design the most effective boundary layout for your garden. This allows us to estimate the cable length and provide a clear quotation without the need for an initial site visit.

By planning the boundary in advance, we can ensure the system works effectively with the natural layout of your property while maintaining the appearance of your garden.

2. Booking Your Installation

Once you are happy with the quotation, we arrange a convenient installation date that suits you.

Your DogFence installer will arrive with all the equipment required to install the system and carry out the initial training session with your dog.

This ensures everything can usually be completed within a single visit, making the process quick and efficient.

3. Walking the Boundary

On installation day, the installer will walk the boundary with you to confirm the final cable route.

This step ensures the system protects important areas of your property while still allowing your dog plenty of freedom within the garden.

During this stage we can also identify areas that may require special consideration such as:

• driveways
• gates and entrances
• ponds or swimming pools
• flower beds or landscaping

Careful boundary planning helps ensure the system works reliably and safely for your dog.

4. Installing the Boundary Wire

Using specialist cable-laying equipment, the boundary wire is installed neatly around the perimeter of your garden.

The cable is typically buried up to 5 inches deep, which protects it from damage while keeping the installation discreet and unobtrusive.

This professional installation method also minimises disruption to lawns, gravel drives and landscaped areas.

5. Installing the Transmitter

The DogFence transmitter is installed inside a dry location such as a garage, utility room or outbuilding and connected to the boundary wire. Each dog fence system is carefully configured for your dog and property using our professional invisible dog fence systems.

Once installed, the system is carefully tested to ensure the signal is working correctly around the entire boundary.

This ensures the warning signal and correction zone are consistent and reliable throughout the containment area.

6. Training Your Dog

Once the system is installed, the next step is introducing your dog to the new boundary.

Temporary training flags are placed around the garden and your installer will guide you and your dog through the first training session.

Using our proven reverse training method, most dogs quickly learn the system and begin to understand where the safe boundary lies.

---

7. Follow-Up Training with the Owner

After the initial installation and training session, your installer will hand the training process over to you so that you can continue reinforcing the boundary over the next few days.

You will be shown how to guide your dog around the garden using the training flags and how to reinforce the warning tone so your dog clearly understands where the boundary is.

Most dogs learn the system quickly, but consistent follow-up training for approximately 3–5 days helps build confidence and ensures the boundary is fully understood.

Once the training is complete, the temporary flags can be removed and your dog will continue to respect the invisible boundary.

---

After Training

Once the training period is complete and the flags are removed, your dog can safely enjoy the freedom of the garden while remaining securely within the invisible boundary.

For many owners, this is when they truly appreciate the benefit of a professionally installed DogFence system — freedom for their dog and peace of mind for themselves.
