QUESTIONS TO ASK A PROFESSIONAL DOG FENCE INSTALLER:

• What is the overall cost of the dog fence? Make sure to include annual battery costs as you compare costs across companies.
  
  
  
  
• Do you offer a containment guarantee? A professional dog fence installer should offer a money back guarantee if they can't contain your pet.
  
  
  
  
• What is your warranty? Professional dog fences generally include a lifetime product warranty, but the extensiveness of the warranties varies across brands. Also, expect at least a one year warranty on the installation.
  
  
  
  
• How will you install the wire? Wire should be buried 1 - 6 inches underground, including where the wire crosses driveways and sidewalks. Unless you have unusual requirements, beware of an installer that suggests stapling the wire to your fence or to the ground.
  
  
  
  
• What training support do you include? You should expect AT LEAST 6 months of free, onsite training support to ensure your pet is properly trained.
  
  
  
  
• Who will help train my pet? The trainer should have at least one year of dog training experience, although several years of dog training experience is preferred.
  
  
  
  
• What kind of wire and splices do you use? All dog fence installations should include 14- to 18- gauge, solid-core, outdoor-rated wire. Splices should be completely waterproof to prevent rust damage.
