A Dog-Friendly Community Built for an Underground Fence
It may be the most dog-friendly town in Oakland County – Northville. Northville Township has two dog parks; the first dog agility course in the community is located there; and Maybury State Park has hiking trails, a working farm and horse stables that bring dogs and their families to the area nearly every day.
Give Hines Park’s trail system of 30 miles, including its own disc golf course, the walkable Victorian downtown and the green space around the Mill Race Historical Village, and it probably will not be hard to understand why so many dog owners in Northville seek a natural place for their dog to move around other than in leash mode. An underground dog fence provides that freedom along with a barrier that’s invisible, and it doesn’t cut through the yard right off the trailhead.

New Fence Installation & Hidden Pet Fence Installation Across Northville
A free in-home consultation begins every new fence installation, but the rest is done to ensure your dog will adhere to the boundary for years afterwards. A full hidden pet fence system in Northville is comprised of:
Free Yard Walkthrough
We take a walking tour of your property to map trees, garden beds and any peculiarities of your lot prior to introducing any tools from the truck.
Custom Boundary Design
The containment area isn't a generic shape off a price sheet but created based on your dog's breed, energy level and how the yard is used.
Underground Wire Burial
The wire is installed below the frost line around the entire length of the entire system, around tree line and natural grade common areas near Maybury State Park and Hines Park.
Transmitter and Collar Setup
We set up and test the transmitter and fit the receiver collar to the size and coat of your dog so that the signal works properly at the boundary.
Training Flag Placement
The visual flags are to be placed along the boundary line making sure that your dog is able to see the outer line of their territory before they get any type of correction.
Same Day Training Session
We stay and introduce your dog to the new boundary the same day, so that the boundary and the training begin to go hand in hand.
Pet Containment System Add-Ons for Indoor Boundaries
An underground pet containment system isn’t limited to the yard. The indoor units allow dogs to stay out of the kitchen, stairs, home offices or rooms you’d prefer to keep pet-free, which is convenient for older homes in Northville where a dog wouldn’t necessarily be built into the layout. Indoor containment can work in tandem with your outdoor fenced system, or it can be totally independent and fitted in just one or two rooms for an indoor dog that requires assistance with one or two rooms only.
Fence Wire Repair & Fence Repair Services in Northville, MI
When your dog is beginning to hesitate or jump over a fence line when it didn’t and then, it probably means that the fence will need to be fixed instead of replaced. Most of the problems come back to a wire break, dead collar battery, lost transmitter calibration or a loop problem. The most frequent service call we receive is fence wire repair – most of the time this type of service call can be handled the day it is called, and with no damage to your entire property.
Be sure to look for an alert on the transmitter or for the collar to not turn on in the vicinity of the boundary or nearby yards that have been altered with aeration, edging or installing new landscaping which may have snared a wire. We test the whole loop, explain the results of our tests and provide a quote to repair prior to any work being done.
Custom Dog Fence Layouts for Northville’s Older and Newer Neighborhoods
Old Village and newer subdivisions throughout Northville present different challenges for a custom dog fence because the dog fence assembly will differ. The design takes into account your property in the following ways:
Old Village & Downtown Lots
Lots that are smaller and finding irregular boundaries in the Mill Race Village and Victorian downtown area get a tight boundary that respects the property lines rather than encroaching on a porch or the shared fence.
Northville Hills & Meadowbrook-Area Subdivisions
Larger, more open yards will provide enough room for wider boundaries or multiple zone yard designs, or even a backyard design that encircles a pool or play set.
Pool, Patio, and Garden Protection
This boundary can be placed around a particular feature, a pool, a patio or a garden bed, keeping your dog away from it while still allowing him or her to run the rest of the yard.
Trail Adjacent Properties
Yards that back up property lines to Maybury State Park or Hines Park are drawn around wooded areas instead of with a straight line across wooded areas.
More than one Dog House
If you own more than one dog, a system is provided for multiple collars, and separate areas for dogs with varying temperaments and or training requirements.
Dog Fence Training & Pet Containment Training in Northville
Pet containment training is not a standalone option – the boundary doesn’t work unless your dog understands it. We use boundary flags and collar tones to teach your dog the starting point and ending point of the safe zone – differently with a puppy, rescues, high energy dogs and for dogs in multi dog homes. The off-leash culture in Northville coupled with the trails at Maybury and the agility park which have been erected in the township by local dog lovers, ensures that a lot of Northville dogs are already having fun outside, and previous to boundary training is generally even quicker.
Sometimes a dog will stop being interested in a fence or if he is new to the house, and a dog fence is there, this is known as ‘no going back training’ where we come to your house and fix just the dog-fence without inserting any new price.
Dog Fence Reinstallation for Northville Homeowners
Have recently taken up residence in another house in Northville or completed a renovation of an existing property? Dog fence reinstallation reprofits your current wire, transmitter and collar for the next time, rather than purchasing a new system from the ground up. We will arrange the new boundary layout, arrange the wiring, set up the flags and provide a new training session to help your dog settle into their new space.
This includes adding or removing a containment boundary, correcting the system that was poorly mapped initially, or redefining a boundary around a new deck, garden, or addition.

Indoor units can restrict your dog’s access to kitchens, stairs or a certain room and can complement your outdoor containment system or stand alone if you just require an indoor containment.
How quickly can you complete fence wire repair in Northville?
Most of the time you call for fence repair service and fence wire repair are taken care of the very same day, not excavating your entire yard to find the problem, selecting an apparatus for wire tracing to find the problem instead.

Yes. Pet containment training included all systems, flags & collar tones trained throughout your dog’s age, breed and energy level until confident in the boundary.
