The cost of pricing will vary based on the size of the yard, layout of your property, your dog(s) needs, and new yard installations, repairs, reinstallation, or changes in boundaries. Typically a standard sized lot in town is less expensive than a large wooded lot, rural acreage or a land with several separate containment areas. The only sure way to obtain an accurate number for your particular property is with a free consultation.

Yes. For dog fence installation in Livingston County including Howell, basic installation is $350 for each 150 feet of the fence. We do the boundary design and installation, setting up the transmitter and collar, setting up the training flag, testing the entire system and then take the homeowner through the end of the project.

Yes. Repairs of various underground and invisible pet fence systems such as Pet Stop, PetSafe, Innotek, Dog Guard and other brands. If your transmitter is sounding an alarm, your dog doesn’t respond or begins to go over the boundary, we will be able to check your entire system and recommend a very definite solution for the repair.

Howell yard issues most often associated with these yards include conventions of lawn, cutting lawn edges, digging gardens, installing utility lines, driveway work, landscaping, and root expansion caused by tree planting. Over time, the Michigan freeze-thaw cycles can also cause ground movement that can stress underground wire over time. Likewise, if there is a system failure or an alarm on the transmitter, that is generally a good indication of a wire break.

Yes. Underground dog fences can be scaled to any size and customized for small in-town yards, large rural properties, wooded areas yards and complex or irregularly shaped property. It would be easy to set a standard boundary, but the boundary is created from scratch to reflect your property boundary, not from a standard template.

Yes. An Underground Dog Fence system’s job is to hold the dog over Michigan’s autumn and winter season, even during days of heavy snowfall and freezing temperatures or even with the ground frost. The buried wire itself is not affected by cold temperatures. Collar battery problems, damage to the wire as a result of work done in the fall landscape and equipment problems are the major causes of winter failures, not weather.

Yes. All installations include training support. When it comes to training your dog with boundary flags, collar tones, correction settings and guided repetition, you know exactly where to put them, where to take them. How far away it is. How close it is. The most critical component for a long-term successful hidden fence system is a dog that is trained to the boundary.

 Yes. Most underground dog fence systems can accommodate multiple dogs through additional receiver collars. Different dogs may need different correction settings and separate training sessions based on their individual size, breed, confidence level, and response to the boundary stimulus.

 Yes. We can assess your current underground system and extend, reduce, reroute, or fully reconfigure the boundary depending on what your yard now requires. This is commonly requested after homeowners complete construction projects, add outdoor living spaces, redesign garden areas, or decide they want to restrict the dog from a specific section of the property.

For most Howell properties, an underground dog fence delivers the most precise and dependable containment because the boundary is physically defined and follows your yard’s exact shape. Wireless systems are faster to set up but only produce a circular coverage zone and are less accurate overall. GPS fences can work well on large open rural land but may not provide the accuracy needed for tighter residential lots. The best option depends on your specific yard, your dog’s behavior, and how much control you need over the perimeter.
