Underground Dog Fence Installation in White Lake, MI
Water is the central feature of White Lake Township, with over twenty lakes, the headwaters of the Huron River and thousands of acres of parkland at Indian Springs Metropark and the adjacent Pontiac Lake and Highland Recreation Areas. It’s really a township of people where dogs are outdoors during almost all the time that the people are outdoors.That’s why many local homeowners, because there is no such thing as wood and chain link, please choose a hidden pet fence installation.
White Lake dog fence design and installation are designed for every dog fence center owner who would want the whole yard to be safe for their dog without the fence showing up in the way of a woodland setting, through a front yard that overlooks a lake or a long driveway made from gravel. The Dog Fence System of every major brand is installed, trained and repaired, and reinstalled by us, a family business right down the road here in Fenton, MI, without the national chain price gouging of the fences like Invisible Fence.

Why White Lake Homeowners Choose a Hidden Pet Fence
White Lake, like other communities in the area, is one of the most water-dense in Oakland County, with homes lining White Lake, Duck Lake, Oxbow Lake, Cedar Island Lake and all over several other lakes. Most of these lots are very narrow, are sloping down water, or are in areas of older trees, so the traditional fence may not be feasible or cost-effective. With a hidden pet fence installation, your dog can still move to the edge of the lake, but still preserve the open views that are one of the attractions of a lake lot.
Lakefront homes are not the only types that have availability. Irregular property lines, driveways that are extended beyond the border, or other HOA requirements for fencing that aren’t clearly visible are common issues in neighborhood areas that are close to Indian Springs Metropark, White Lake Oaks Golf Course or any wooded land along Cooley Lake Road, Elizabeth Lake Road or M-59. An underground pet containment system answers all these questions, as the border is not constructed but underground, and never alters the appearance of your home.
New Fence Installation in White Lake, MI
All new fence projects begin at your property with a complimentary consultation. We accompany you on this journey and determine what areas you and your dog should visit and which ones you should fence off, then we come up with a custom dog fence boundary based specifically on your situation whether you have a lakefront property, a wooded half acre off Hill Road, or simply a typical dog fence yard near downtown White Lake.
Our Underground Dog Fence Services
Custom Boundary Design
Before each yard is wired, each White Lake yard is mapped individually. We take you on a walkover to mark safe areas, garden beds, pools and areas that you would not want your dog to touch with a fence that is tailored to your property line and does not have to be a circular fence pattern.
Underground Wire Burial
After the boundary is established the wire is covered below the average mowing height as well as the aerator and edging depth so that everyday yard maintenance will not harm the wire. This is what makes the difference between a dog fence installed underground correctly and a hastily installed fence that will quickly come undone before a season is up.
Full System Test
Prior to your departure, we will go around the entire property to ensure that the signal is strong at all locations and has no dead zones, weak spots, or gaps around driveways, gardens and water features. We don't call it finished until it's as reliable as its weakest link in the boundary chain, so we test it before we call it finished.
Transmitter Installation and Collar Fitting
The transmitter is installed and calibrated in your house, a properly adjusted collar is then attached to each pet in the home. For multi-dog households, collars for individual dogs are programmed according to their size, temperament and how often they test the limit.
Boundary Flag Placement
Small flags are raised along the new boundary to help provide your dog with a visual cue to correlate with the collar's warning tone during training. The flags remain until your dog has learned the boundary by hearing the sound - and are removed only slowly over the first few weeks.
Pet Containment Training
Just putting it into place is not enough to house train a dog. Fence training is included with all new fences and introduces your dog to the fence slowly and remains until they become confident that they know and respect the boundary.
Pet Containment System Options for Every White Lake Yard
This is not a repeat job and no two homes are alike in this Township. Lakefront yards may require a space that is close to the water’s edge, yet retains access to docks or beaches. In wooded lots, Indian Springs or near the lake, wire should be placed around trees and irregular clearings rather than straight around the perimeter. For standard subdivision yards, a simpler, quicker custom dog fence setup will typically be required.
Multi Family Dog Order Management is also available for maintaining multiple dogs under a single collar; fenced Pool and Garden Areas, as well as indoor units that prevent pets from entering certain rooms, such as kitchens, stairs, etc. In any case the plan is to keep a pet contained in the property, rather than the property containing the pet.
Fence Wire Repair in White Lake
With all this lawn care, landscaping and seasonal yard work in a township, wire breaks are quite common and can render a working pet containment system ineffective overnight. Any activity that comes into contact with the underground wire can take it out, such as aeration, edging, growth around the trees, driveways, repairs or even plowing of longer driveway-lengths along White Lake can destroy the entire boundary.
When you call us, our fence wire repair tech will find the break, fix the wire beneath the ground and test the entire signal loop, typically the same day. This is because we support all leading brands of pet fences such as Invisible Fence, PetSafe, Pet Stop, Innotek and Dog Guard, which means that you can rely on us to attend to the repair instead of reaching out to the brand’s repair telephone line and paying franchise rates for a repair that will likely be a lot cheaper.
These are things to watch out for when making your decision to repair your fence wire: Always beeping transmitter, unsure collar control when close to the boundary, or a dog that just randomly walked to neighbor’s yard.
Dog Fence Training & Pet Containment Training
Dog fence training usually comes with every new underground fence; this results in true segments of the boundary, and not just because your dog was taught to use it, but because your dog learned it.
Boundary Introduction with Flags
Your dog is now building a good, non-harsh association with the safe zone, as the flags are extended as a sense of the safe perimeter.
Collar Tone Conditioning
Before any correction, your dog hears a warning tone when approaching the flagged line; this establishes a relationship with the edge of their safe zone and is an effective way to teach them.
Gradual Correction Levels
Upon training recognition of the tone, we add a slow correction matching the dog's temperament, which only needs to be extended when needed so the dog doesn't become scared or stressed of the correction.
Supervised Practice Sessions
We walk the perimeter off leash, closely supervised while your dog naturally tests by walking the perimeter, and works on correcting distractions like nearby passing neighbors, squirrels, or deer natural chasing.
Final Confidence Check
As we leave, we confirm your dog is reliable at the boundary in all parts of the yard - even when they are highly distracted - and that the training is finished.
Dog Fence Reinstallation in White Lake
Are you playing around in White Lake, improving your yard, or creating a garden bed and pool? Reinstalling a dog fence allows you to use your existing transmitter or collar equipment, instead of purchasing a whole new pet containment system. We relocate the boundary to your updated property lines, and extend or bury wire as needed, then retest the entire wire loop before we leave.
Reinstallation is relatively common when a hidden fence is left by a previous homeowner, and no one knows if it is still operational. We will inspect the current structure and will advise you whether or not it is worthwhile keeping it, and if it is we’ll do repairs, extensions or replacement – depending on which it can be done at less expense to you.
A Local Dog Fence Company, Not a National Franchise
Most of the fence companies that you find when you’re searching for a fence company in White Lake are national brands that charge a brand premium and franchise fee in addition to the regular price for the fence installation. It’s not our goal to cut back on costs and pricing, it’s our goal to keep it under our families’ budgets, and the way we do that is by cutting back on the overhead.
We service and repair all major underground fence brands including our own not just because we have our own, but because we service and repair all underground fences. From you, to train you, to follow up – you are dealing with the same fence technician throughout the entire process, whether you’re in need of a whole new fence installation, a dog fence reinstall, fence wire repair, or additional pet fence services with a system installed by another. While a national call center may give you a general directory to a fence company, we, as but one fence company that specializes in pet containment and not general fencing know how the yards, soils and seasons used in Michigan will affect a fence that is buried.
