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 am the invisible fence installer....I've been working at your home for 2 days.

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.

mulligan 05-28-2013 08:54 AM

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

Wow!!

jebartle 05-28-2013 01:06 PM

I'm sure the invisible fence is great BUT
 
our neighbors dog will not go in the yard AT ALL now....Granted they have a
small yard and dog may be confused....Now owners carry dog over the line for his walks (The owners are in their mid-80's and the dog is larger than they should have to lift).....I'm sure these fences are not cheap, too bad!

DonH57 05-28-2013 02:49 PM

I take our dog's shock collar off when I take our's out somewhere and back on when I return. Our's is a lab and he's definately I hefty boy for me to lift.

We also remove the collars before crossing the invisible fence line. My girls, German Shepherds are way too heavy to lift.

Has anyone installed their own invisible fence? And if you did, how difficult was it, and what was the result? Would you do it again?

DonH57 05-29-2013 07:26 AM

I personally would'nt try it because even if you could rent a trencher designed for placing the wire, if you should hit a utility, comm lines, or irragation of any source you would be responsible for damages and repairs and your neighbors would not be happy. The invisible fence guys always have dig safe mark utilities prior to theire work and even they can make a mistake. I recommend you have a professional handle it.

There is an audible tone the dogs hear as they approach their borders. They probably hear that sound. Switching the controller off will stop the tone and might allow the dogs to cross.
