Default Need an invisible fence installer

We need someone to help us install an invisible fence! Mainly someone who can dig the trench where the fence will go. We already bought the fence but we are not in our 20's anymore (if you know what I mean...) and wanted to find someone to take care of the digging part of it. Prefer someone whose got experience with this sort of thing!

I'm not certain of who you would have do that. Is it a unit you bought at HD or Lowes? Invisible fence came out to do ours. A couple of days before hand they took care of having dig safe mark utilities and I also informed the neighbors to assure no conflicts would arise. They were very careful with what they were doing. We like their system and no one knows it's there.

I wouldn't recommend this as a do it yourself project. The training, both for the owner and the dog, is just as important as the invisible fence. We used Dogwatch and have had excellent results. Their trainer came back as often as necessary until the dogs were ready and we've never had a problem with their system.

We agree with Bluedog. The fence installation is the easy part. The dog training takes more time and effort, but must be done if the fence is to work effectively. We also recommend Dog Watch, 352-351-3642. They really helped us with our training.

Didn't understand mulligan's comment that he'd been working at their house for two days. I'm not that bright but found the comment confusing.

I guess if I have to explain ( tongue-in cheek) that I'm invisible, the post loses some of it's edge.
