Electronic Dog Fence Success Story: Keeping Pets Safe on a Country Property
Electronic Dog Fence Success Story: Keeping Pets Safe on a Country Property
Living in the countryside is a dream—wide open space, fresh air, and a beautiful place to raise both children and pets. But with that space comes a big responsibility: how do you keep your dogs safe and your neighbours happy without compromising their freedom? That’s where an electronic dog fence can make all the difference. This advanced containment solution allows your pets to roam freely within your property while giving you complete peace of mind.
Max boundary size is 350 acres.
Ever Thought About Using an electronic dog fence?
An electronic dog fence is an advanced pet containment system that uses a hidden boundary wire and a lightweight collar receiver to safely train your dog to stay within a designated area. When your dog approaches the boundary, the collar emits a warning beep, followed by a gentle sensation if they continue. It’s a safe, effective, and reliable way to keep your safe and give your dog freedom — without the need for physical fencing.
Electronic Dog Fence: A Proven Legacy with Government Approval
Electronic Pet containment systems have been safeguarding pets for over 50 years, originally pioneered in the USA as a revolutionary way to provide freedom and safety without traditional barriers. At DogFence, we’re proud to bring dog safety using this proven technology. In fact, we’ve worked directly with the UK Government and consulted with DEFRA, gaining approval in 2018. DEFRA recognised the significant life-saving benefits that an electronic pet containment system offers—not just for pets, but also for livestock, wildlife, and vulnerable species like songbirds and small mammals. By keeping pets safely within boundaries, invisible fences help protect the wider ecosystem while giving owners peace of mind.
Affordable and Cost Effective electronic dog fencing
Our electronic dog fences start from approximately £6 per metre—including installation and training—offering a cost-effective alternative to traditional fencing, which typically starts at around £35 per metre. That’s a saving of over 80% to dog fence your garden! Get a quote here.

Training That Works: The 3 Senses Method
We train dogs to the electronic dog fence using the proven 3 Senses Training Protocol. It’s simple, kind, and tailored to each dog’s unique personality:
- Visual: Flags help dogs visually learn where the boundary is. The “electronic” boundary will be marked with flags every 8 -10 feet to give your pet a visual reminder.
- Auditory: A warning beep lets your dog know they’re close to the boundary. Your pet has something to hear to warn them not to go further.
- Impulse: A gentle Impulse—similar to a TENS machine, gives your pet a mild stimulus—reminding them gently to return inside the boundary. The impulse level can be varied for each pet according to their personality; it is not a “one size fits all” system.
Our expert installers handle all the training onsite, working with you and your dog to ensure success. We take the time to adjust every system for your dog’s size, breed, and temperament.

Real Story: Joanie, Her Dogs, and a Second Chance
“We had a nightmare last spring. Our dogs got out and killed three lambs. I was ready to rehome them—I just couldn’t cope anymore.”
– Joanie, North York Moors
Joanie and her family live on a stunning three-acre property in the North York Moors. With three dogs—Monty (14), Molly (a 2-year-old Cocker Spaniel), and Coco the pup—managing boundaries was a constant challenge. Despite having fences, the younger dogs kept finding ways out. Molly and Coco formed a hunting pack. Then disaster struck: Molly and Coco escapted and killed lambs on a neighbouring farm. Joanie was devastated. The farmer was understanding, but the damage was done. Joanie was devastated and feared the dogs might need to be rehomed. Traditional fencing was out of the question due to the terrain and size of the land. And with five exterior doors open during the summer, the risk of escape was constant.
Just as she was contemplating giving the dogs away, a friend suggested a DogFence electric containment system. After installing a DogFence system, everything changed. The dogs quickly learned the boundaries, and Joanie’s confidence was restored. “It’s like we’ve got our family back,” she says. “The dogs are happy, they have freedom, and I can finally relax knowing they’re safe and secure.”
“It has changed our life. I can relax when the kids run outside. The dogs don’t even go near the boundary anymore.”
Joanie’s dogs now enjoy full access to one acre of secure garden space, barking at passers-by but never straying. Best of all? No stress, and no more chasing livestock.
