About the service
I install underground pet containment systems that keep dogs safely inside a yard boundary without putting up a physical fence. The work starts with a walkthrough of the property: I map the area to be covered, note gates, driveways, gardens, water features and any obstacles, and mark where the boundary loop will run. Together we decide on safe zones to exclude, such as flower beds, pools or areas near the street, and I plan the wire route to avoid interference from metal structures, downspouts and buried utilities.
Before any digging, I locate and flag existing underground lines — irrigation pipes, low-voltage lighting cables, drainage — so nothing gets damaged during trenching. The boundary wire is buried at a modest, consistent depth using a manual edger or a powered trencher depending on soil type, keeping the loop as a single continuous run with properly sealed, waterproof splices wherever a joint is unavoidable. Twisted wire sections are used near driveway crossings and narrow passages so the signal cancels out and pets can cross safely at approved points.
Once the loop is buried, I install the transmitter unit in a dry, ventilated spot such as a garage or utility room, connect it to power, and calibrate the boundary width to match the yard's specific layout and the temperament of the animal. Each receiver collar is fitted and tested directly on the pet, checking correction levels, battery function and comfort of the fit. I also perform boundary flag placement along the loop temporarily, which helps during the training period so the animal learns where the edge is.
After installation, I run a full system test: walking the perimeter with the collar to confirm consistent warning tones and correction zones at every point, checking for dead spots or overlap issues near corners, and verifying that the transmitter settings hold steady over several days. I provide a short guidance session on the initial training routine owners should follow with their pet, along with basic maintenance tips — battery replacement schedule, seasonal loop inspection after frost or heavy landscaping work, and how to test the system periodically. Multi-pet households, multiple loop zones, and irregular-shaped yards are all things I plan for individually rather than using a one-size-fits-all layout. I bring my own trenching tools, wire, connectors and testing equipment, and I can work with existing wire runs left from a previous installation if the property already has partial infrastructure in place. The goal is a boundary that is invisible from the street, reliable in all weather, and safe for the animal, with clear documentation left with the owner showing the wire route in case future landscaping or digging is planned.
