Bloomfield Hills Hidden Dog Fence Services
Pet Containment Services will assist Bloomfield Hills dog owners with containment, and with the underground fence systems that are designed for Oakland County properties. No two properties in Bloomfield Hills are alike. Some houses are in large wooded lots with twisting driveways. Others form a ring-up behind ravines, ponds or natural areas. Many have mature trees, a slope, tiered landscaping or circle drives, and for them the idea of a fence as a layout is impractical at best.
That’s why your dog fence should never be created using a template. The boundary is designed according to the size of the lot, the nature of your dog, the way your family uses the outdoor space and the specific areas that require protection for your pet. This could include having a fence at the front yard of your home if it’s close to a noisy highway, leaving your dog far from a pond or pool, or building a fence around a large lot.
It is only our goal to teach your dog the safe zone and to provide you with the confidence and options to allow your dog to enjoy the yard on their own terms.

Pet Fence Wire Break Repair In Bloomfield Hills
If the break in one wire occurs, the entire underground fence system will be rendered useless. Common causes of wire damage in Bloomfield Hills include landscaping crews, lawn aeration, edging around beds and driveways, installation of irrigation systems, movement of tree roots, underground utility work and larger lot-sized gardens. Even normal ground shifting can cause stress and/or sever buried wire over time.
Wire break repair service can detect damaged underground fence wire and repair it to get your system functioning again. A wire break is a common cause of fence failure if the fence has a beep signal or if it suddenly stops working.
Common symptoms of a wire break are:
- The system indicator light is different or off
- The collar does not react close to the edge
- Your dog has begun to cross the fence line
- The fence is only effective in one part of the yard and not in another
- Recently had landscaping, irrigation or driveway work done
We find the broken area, repair it and test the entire boundary signal before we leave.
Dog Fence Training For Bloomfield Hills Pets
If your dog doesn’t know where the dog fence is, it will not work. You can’t skip training. It’s just a matter of a dog respecting the fence or pushing through.
We use flags, collar tone signals, correction settings, repetition and calm consistent direction to guide your dog to the boundary. Training is always tailored to the dog, taking into account both the breed as well as the dog’s energy level, confidence and temperament.
We also work with puppies, rescue dogs, dogs that have too much energy, and Vizslas, Weimaraners, Goldendoodles, Standard Poodles, Labradors, German Shepherds, and dogs that already chase deer, rabbits or squirrels through wooded yards – a very common problem for larger Bloomfield Hills properties.
Hidden fences are more than just equipment. It is a training based system. That’s the one move that most homeowners regret making.
Reinstallation and Boundary Changes
Moving into a Bloomfield Hills home or looking to make some alterations to your yard? Can assist with re-installation or modifications to your existing underground pet fence system.
Reinstallation is usually required when relocating to a house equipped with an older system, installing a pool, patio, landscaping, expanding a driveway, or removing access to certain areas of the property. Bloomfield Hills large estate lots and multi-acre lots frequently will need to be reconfigured when the yard grows or changes over time.
We’ll look at the system you have in place and explore the possibility of reusing, reconditioning, expanding and reconfiguring the system to accommodate your present requirements instead of buying a new system.
Why Bloomfield Hills Homeowners Choose An Underground Dog Fence
Many properties in Bloomfield Hills are well suited for an underground dog fence, as it offers effective pet containment without changing the aesthetics or feel of the yard. It can be directed around long driveways, wooded property, ponds, pools, and the odd, spread out lots that proliferate throughout Bloomfield Hills and Bloomfield Township.
An underground fence is more flexible for many homeowners than a traditional fence, as well. It is used for large front yards, large back yards, side yards and multi-dog homes. It is also a smart choice for neighborhoods and communities where visible fences are not permitted, not encouraged or don’t fit in with the rest of the homes.
We consider the items you already have and consider whether they can be reused, repaired, extended or reconfigured.

What causes underground dog fence wire breaks in Bloomfield Hills?
Common causes of damage are landscaping, lawn aeration, edging of the beds, installation of irrigation systems, driveway projects, utility digging, tree root activity, and even accidental cutting during gardening or landscaping activity. A wire break can often account for the transmitter beeping or system suddenly not working.
Can an underground dog fence work on large Bloomfield Hills properties?
Yes. Under ground dog fencing works great for the larger and more complex lots found in Bloomfield Hills. The boundary doesn’t have to be circular, but can be formed around a wooded section, a pond, a patio, a long driveway or an odd-shaped property line.
Will an underground dog fence work through Michigan winters?
Yes. When properly installed and maintained, underground pet fence systems are built to hold up through normal Michigan weather conditions including snow and cold temperatures. Performance issues during winter are typically caused by damaged wire, weak collar batteries, or equipment that needs attention – not by the season itself.
Is training included with underground dog fence installation?
All installations come with a training support package. You should start teaching your dog the boundary with flags, collar tones, correction levels and repetition. The in person training advice is included to instruct your dog on the starting and stopping point of the safe zone.
Can you install a dog fence for more than one dog?
Yes. Most pet fence systems that go underground can be used to accommodate more than one receiver collar, making them an effective solution to multi-dog households. Depending on his size, the type of dog and his behavior, each dog might require a different level of correction and a different training method.
Can you change the boundary on an existing pet fence?
Yes. We can assess your existing system and see if the boundary can be enlarged, shrunk, rerouted or reconfigured. A great way to use this after installing a pool, outdoor kitchen, patio, or new landscaping or to keep your dog separate from certain spots in the yard.
What is better for Bloomfield Hills homes: underground, wireless, or GPS dog fence?
An underground dog fence is the safest choice for most properties in Bloomfield Hills, as it can be custom tailored to fit your yard. Wireless systems are easier to use but less precise on larger or irregular lots. GPS fences can produce good results on large open farms and are unpredictable in homes. The type of system you need will vary depending on your property and dog.
