Why You Should Hire a Professional to Install Your Electric Dog Fence

Are you thinking of installing a new dog fence for your home? You may be wondering whether this is a project worth tackling yourself or if you should call in a team of professionals. This decision can be tough to make if you are interested in installing an electric dog fence, as there are many do-it-yourself fence kits available to consumers these days.

We understand how much dog-owners value long-term, reliable security solutions for their pets. Though DIY kits may seem like a good option, a new electric fence is a big security investment that is best left to a professional. Read on to understand the biggest reasons why you should hire a professional to help install a new electric fence for your dog.

They Can Properly Install and Protect the Boundary Wire

Pet security and containment professionals have the necessary experience to install your new fence without delays or dilemmas. Additionally, experts can help you select the best boundary wire suitable for your latest and greatest dog fence ideas. A properly selected and installed protective boundary wire is vital to keeping your new electric fence operational without experiencing any hiccups.

They Can Offer Appropriate Training Tips

You cannot install a new electric dog fence and expect your pet to understand his or her new boundaries right away. A professional installer will work with you to make sure your pets have the proper training they need so that they understand and respect their new boundaries. Training is essential to keeping your dogs happy, safe, and contained in their new area. Without it, you will be hard-pressed to make the most of your new security investment. 

They Provide Better and Longer-Lasting Batteries

DIY electric fences have the unfortunate tendency to come with batteries that have short lifespans. Let’s face it, a dead battery won’t keep your pet contained in its area.

When you choose to work with a team of professionals, you get the peace of mind you deserve knowing that your new fence's battery won't need to be replaced multiple times a year. Professional installation companies can offer electric dog fences with receiver batteries that have life cycles as high as two years. To put it bluntly, a longer battery life means greater safety for your dog.

They Offer Extensive Warranty

Do-it-yourself electric fences may be tempting to purchase if you want to get your project done straight away. However, more often than not, these fences offer no warranty if you make a mistake or two during installation. Professional dog fence installers can offer extended warranties in the event your fence gets damaged or malfunctions, providing you with long-term peace of mind.

They Deliver Great Customer Service

Last but certainly not least comes this simple fact: professional dog fence installers offer great customer service that makes your installation process more stress-free and seamless than a DIY project. They can also answer any questions you might have and provide solutions that are tailored to you and your pet’s needs.
