Free Property Assessment
We inspect your yard from border to border and inspect all property areas, topography and landscaping before making a recommendation about the system. With this on-site evaluation, the solution we create for your dog containment structure is not based on a template, but rather it is designed for your yard!
Custom Boundary Planning

Collar Fitting and Flag Placement
We properly fit your dog's receiver collar while training it, we set the correct level of correction to your dog's size and temperament and we set up boundary flags on the entire perimeter of where you want your dog to walk, so that your dog can see the boundary zone and know where it is from day one of training.
