Next PageA Custom Dog Fence For Every West Bloomfield Yard
We cannot standardize any two yards in West Bloomfield, nor will we ever make them that. County boundaries are frequently backed by water near Cass Lake, Pine Lake or Orchard Lake and we route the boundary so that your dog stays clear of free docks, drop-offs and shoreline. For lots adjacent to the West Bloomfield Woods Nature Preserve, a fence line must cope with mature trees and uneven terrains.
Town properties located along Orchard Lake Road or West Maple Road are near to heavy traffic, thus extending coverage all the way to the front of the lot. Along the West Bloomfield Trail, homes are plagued with foot traffic, bicycles and wildlife at the boundary so careful planning with boundary placement and sound training of the dogs is essential.
We model a design of a dog fence that matches your yard in size and not just an average yard.
New Fence Installation Services in West Bloomfield
In the case of new fencing, our team arrives on site to install the entire fence structure. We do not leave you with a kit and send you on your way. Each install includes:
Custom Boundary Design
We do a stroll of your West Bloomfield property first, before we dig in anywhere! The boundary plan created just for your yard is influenced by your lot shape, proximity to the lake, wooded areas and the driveway layout.
Underground Wire Burial Below the Frost Line
Our techs install wire as deep as necessary to withstand the shifts in Michigan winters. Good depth of burial keeps the system operating over the seasons without problems in the face of freezing and thawing and preserves the investment.
Transmitter Setup Inside Your Home or Garage
Placing the mountings and programming the transmitter where we think we can get a good signal throughout your boundary. We will let you know the meaning of each indicator light before departing your property.
Receiver Collar Fitting for Your Dog
All collars are well positioned on your dog's neck for good contact. Before we start training your dog, our correction level is adjusted to suit the dog's size, breed and temperament.
Boundary Flag Placement Around the New Fence Line
The invisible fence is indicated by training flags so that your pup can see where the fence is while learning. They are planted evenly all around and taken out slowly as training continues.
A Full Signal Test Before We Leave
We walk all the perimeter with a test tool to ensure that the signal can be received at all points around the perimeter. If it is done poorly or inconsistently, we make it better as we go along; we do not consider that it is over if done poorly or inconsistently.
Hidden Pet Fence Installation Near the Water
There is additional risk for canines who live in a lakefront neighborhood. All three of these lakes, Cass Lake, Pine Lake and Orchard Lake, are surrounded by residential yards and an unsupervised dog can cross a residential lawn towards the water in a matter of seconds. A key to a hidden pet fence system is the fact that the fence is invisible to your dog, but instead it lays down a powerful, reliable boundary that your dog is willing to respect.
The boundary is mapped and sloped shoreline and docks are taken into account, followed by a test of the signal strength at the water’s edge. You continue to have a view of the lake. You can rest assured your dog will remain safe.
Pet Containment System Repair and Fence Wire Repair in West Bloomfield
To use a pet containment system, the pet containment system must be kept intact. Landscaping, irrigation installation, dock or seawall construction or operations, movement of tree roots close to older lots and frost heave in winter in Michigan are common causes of wire damage in West Bloomfield.
If you watch for these signs you will know that you need fence wire repair:
Beeps or an error light will appear on the transmitter
Your dog turns away from the boundary when it is on her collar
Your dog gets past the line without a correction
There are no signals in part of the area
Landscaping, irrigation or dock work was recently done
We find the fault, fix it and test the whole perimeter before we leave. In most cases, we will arrive at your doorstep the same day after you place the call, and repair any type of Invisible Fence, PetSafe, Pet Stop, Innotek, Dog Guard, or any other brand.
Dog Fence Training and Pet Containment Training
You can’t train your dog to be in the yard with just the equipment. Pet containment training means that you will train your dog to know where the boundary is, and how they can respect it. We employ and use steady repetition, collar tones and flags to lead your dog at their pace during learning.
Training puppies, rescues and high-energy dogs to keep using the dog fence are all applicable. Labradors are trained regularly, as are Goldendoodles, German Shepherds, and Vizslas, in the West Bloomfield area and even squirrel or deer chasing dogs in the wooded lots adjacent to the preserve. We provide training sessions at every new installation, and remain until your dog’s behaviour is acceptable at the boundary.
Dog Fence Reinstallation for Movers and Yard Changes
Moving into a West Bloomfield home with an older system already buried? We handle dog fence reinstallation without selling you new equipment you don’t need. Our techs test your existing wire, transmitter, and collar, then reuse or recondition whatever still works.
Re-installation is also appropriate when installing a pool, extending a driveway or closing off a garden. We do not re-design the yard, rather we redirect the boundary to reflect your yard as you have changed.

Common Questions About Dog Fence Installation In West Bloomfield, MI
How much does new fence installation cost in West Bloomfield, MI?
The cost of pricings can vary according to the size of your yard, layout of a lot, number of dogs in care, and the equipment required. Lakefront and wooded lots may be more expensive than a regular lot. An estimate is executed during a free consultation, which is accurate.
How long does hidden pet fence installation take in West Bloomfield?
The time it takes to install most installations is around 2-4 hours. We will install the wire, train collar and setup transmitter on the same trip, add training flags, and begin training your dog that same day.
Can you build a custom dog fence around a lake or wooded lot?
Yes. Regularly. Propose limits around Cass Lake, Pine Lake and Orchard Lake boundaries and wooded lots near the nature preserve. Your dog fence acts more like a fence that adheres to your land than a generic shape.
What causes fence wire repair issues in West Bloomfield?
Buried wire is often damaged by landscaping, irrigation installs, dock or seawall projects and tree root growth. The line can also be stressed by frost heave in the winter and cause a line break.
Does pet containment training come with new installation?
Yes. All new fence installations provide a real-life training session. We do flagging, collar tones and repetition before we feel the job is completed to teach your dog the boundary.
Do you handle dog fence reinstallation if I'm moving to West Bloomfield?
Yes. We try your existing system first and re-use it as much as possible. Reinstallation is less expensive than if you were to purchase new equipment, and begin to keep your dog contained sooner.
Will my pet containment system still work during Michigan winters?
Yes. It is buried below frost line which means that it is not affected by the frost, snow or cold temperatures during the season, and as a result, the protection offered by the collar or the signal is not compromised.
Do you repair other brands, or only your own dog fence company's equipment?
We have services for all major brands, such as Invisible Fence, PetSafe Fence, Pet Stop Fence, Innotek Fence and Dog Guard Fence. No pre-condition requirement to purchase your original equipment from us to receive repair assistance.
