Milford’s Local Pet Containment System Experts
The unusually incompatible elements of an old-fashioned fence – Huron River and Pettibone Creek meandering through and around Central Park, mill pond owned parcels along Main Street, 100-year old homes within the historic district over the river from Central Park, and sprawling developments with walking trails around the village.
There are lots of dog owners in Milford that want some type of method to get their pets outdoors without them running out and getting into a situation where they are in danger of chasing something right into the water. This is what a hidden pet fence installation provides, and no yard posts, panels or gates alter the appearance of the yard.

New Fence Installation & Hidden Pet Fence Installation in Milford
All new fence setups begin with a free consultation in your home and it’s how this process unfolds that will determine if your dog respects your fence for years or if they are going to bark blithely along it. Milford’s hidden pet fence system is put together as follows:
Free Yard Walkthrough
We take a free walk on your property before your tools get out and map your trees, garden beds, water features, and other quirks of your Milford lot.
Custom Boundary Design
Our dog's containment area is not the average size for a generic breed or energy level, but one that is mapped to your dog's breed, energy level, and how you use the yard.
Underground Wire Burial
The wire is installed below frosting all the way around, however, care must be taken to avoid roots, mature landscaping and uneven grades, which are common near the Huron River.
Transmitter and Collar Setup
We will place and troubleshoot the transmitter and install a receiver collar for your dog on their size and coat type, which allows for accurate reading at the boundary.
Training Flag Placement
Flag Areas should be placed visually along the edge of the area, allowing your dog to see the outer edge of the space before the dog receives a correction for crossing it.
Same-Day Training Session
Dog’s relationship with you and the new boundary begins from day one once we are here as together they introduce the dog to a new boundary.
Pet Containment System Options for Indoor Boundaries
Not all containment requirements are outside. Milford’s older homes, often featuring open floor plans or multiple stairs, some offer indoor pet containment system units to keep dogs off of kitchens, stairs, nurseries or any room that must stay dog free. These indoor units are compatible with the outdoor units or stand alone.
Fence Wire Repair and Fence Repair Services in Milford, MI
The vast majority of fence repair situations fall in one of a few categories: fence wire has broken, collar battery is dead, transmitter problem, or problem is a drifted out-of-calibration signal. Most of our fence wire repair calls are made on the same day as the phone call and we use trace wire to locate the location of the fence without going all the way out to the yard and bottom, so we don’t trace the entire yard.
Observe if the transmitter is beeping or flashing an alert, if the dog has suddenly started to trespass on a previously respected line, if the collar is not working near the line, or if there is any new landscaping, aeration or work along the riverbank, etc, that could have cut into a wire. We always test the entire loop, tell you what we’re seeing and provide the estimate in writing before any repairs are performed.
Custom Dog Fence Design for Every Milford Yard
This isn’t a luxury upgrade, a custom dog fence is how all Milford properties are handled as no two yards are the same in the village. These are some of the ways the design fits the local context:
Downtown Lots Near Main Street
Tighter Lots are smaller in size, are walkable, and constrained to the smaller boundary by the downtown Historic Core that will not overcrowd Patios, Walkways or Shared Property Lines.
Wooded & Riverside Properties
Lots being backed to the Huron River, Pettibone Creek, or the Huron Valley Trail receive a layout which utilizes natural slopes, trees and shrubs rather than a straight line.
Pool & Garden & Patio Protection
The boundary can be used to exclude certain areas such as a pool or garden or patio without cutting off your dog from the rest of the yard.
Historic District Homes
The boundary of the Historic District home will consist of excavation performed beneath the property, unchanging anything to the exterior or the yard appearance of the house.
Larger Rural-Style Parcels
Properties farther out to Camp Dearborn or GM Milford proving grounds receive wider boundaries, with the option of outbuildings, long driveways or multiple zones.
Multi-Dog Households
Homes with more than one dog receive a multi-dog system, which is designed for multiple collars and, if necessary, separate areas for caring for dogs with different needs or temperaments.
Dog Fence Training and Pet Containment Training in Milford
The training is a system making it a system only as good as the training itself. But with dog fence training, your puppy learns where to stop and start and not just responds to a warning from the collar tone that they do not understand. Training for pet containment is built into every new installation, and can be tailored for puppies, rescues, aggressive puppies and multi-dog Milford homes.
However, if your dog has lost respect for the existing boundary or if a new dog has been introduced to the household where a fence is already installed, the fence can be complemented with stand-alone dog training sessions – our recommendation is that the problem with a dog ignoring the fence is more a training matter than equipment.
Dog Fence Reinstallation for Milford Homeowners
Planning a move to a new home, or installing a patio, a pool or a garden area in your existing landscaping? Dog fence reinstallation allows you to continue using your existing wire, transmitter and collar rather than purchase a new system. We deal with the new boundary setup, burying the wires, positioning the flags and going through a training session to ensure your dog understands the new space.
Some of the other parts of re-installation include expanded or reduced borders, fixing a system that was not installed properly by the previous installer, and re-routing a containment system around new landscaping or construction, without having to reset up from scratch.

Common Questions About Dog Fence Installation In Milford, MI
How much does a new fence installation cost in Milford, MI?
The cost is based on yard size, yard layout, number of dogs and on installation, fence wire repair or reinstallation. The free in-home visit will provide you with accurate pricing.
Do you offer hidden pet fence installation near Milford's historic district?
Yes. This is because a pet fence will not modify the exterior appearance of older homes in Milford’s historic district, unlike a visible fence that needs an approved pet fence signage.
Can you design a custom dog fence for a wooded or riverside yard?
Yes. Since we are working near trees, slopes, gardens and water bodies, we design a customized dog fence around your property, and base it on the perimeter of the property instead of a typical shape.
What does your pet containment system include indoors?
Rather than having to leave your dog outdoors at all times, use indoor units in combination with an outdoor dog containment system or as a separate solution to keep your dog off of kitchens, stairwells, etc.
How fast is fence wire repair in Milford?
Most fences are wire repaired and repaired the same day using signal tracing equipment to quickly locate the broken section without having to dig around all over the yard.
Is dog fence training included with installation?
Yes. With every new system, pet containment training is included, which employs boundary flags with collar tones which are adjusted to your dog’s breed, age and energy level and until they are confident.
Can you handle a dog fence reinstallation if I'm moving within Milford?
Yes. Dog fence installation allows you to utilize the same wire and fencing at your new home, with a differently arranged fence and a training program focused on the new fencing arrangement.
What brands does your dog fence company service in Milford?
Our pet experts provide services on all major brands, including Invisible Fence, Pet Stop, PetSafe, Innotek, and Dog Guard; thus, you don’t need to call your pet fence’s original customer for repairs or pet fence service.
