A Local Solution
Many people think of Invisible Fence® when they want to install a pet containment system, but Dog Guard® of Wisconsin offers a service that is more convenient for homeowners and potentially more affordable.
Unlimited Customized Training
At Dog Guard of Wisconsin®, we believe our job isn’t done until your dog is safe in the yard. Unlike Invisible Fence®, which charges for training sessions, our experts will provide you with as much training assistance as you need at no extra cost.
“Great product, exemplary service.
I have a 60 lb. dog and this Dog Guard® fence has worked terrifically. I found that the pricing was better than competitors I explored. They trained my dog, and me, to know the fence. Now my dog runs all over the yard and does not have to be leashed to prevent her from wandering away. Now I do not have to worry about her running into the busy street in front of my house or running out to greet walkers down the street.
Service, during the installation/training and afterward has been exemplary. I cannot be more pleased that I made this investment with Dog Guard® of Wisconsin in Lake Mills.”

Dual Correction Zone
The Dog Guard® system is the only product to have dual correction zones. In addition to the different stimulation levels that brands like Invisible Fence® offer, the Dog Guard® system has a built-in reminder zone. When your pet enters the reminder zone within 3–6 feet of the boundary, they hear an audible warning and receive a mild correction stimulus. If they ignore the reminder and reach the boundary, they receive a stronger correction.
“We have a Bassett who runs like the wind....could not let him outside without a leash...The last straw was when he slipped a collar and decided that the middle of Hwy 19 was the perfect place to hang out...Now he knows his exact boundaries even if the radio collar is off.....He will chase a squirrel to just short of the boundary then stop...He still snags one once in a while though..”

Exclusive Lifetime Wire Warranty
Invisible Fence® offers electronics warranties on limited products, while Dog Guard® of Wisconsin offers a lifetime electronics warranty.
Pet Stop® and Dog Watch® also offer lifetime electronics warranties, but only Dog Guard® of Wisconsin offers a Lifetime Wire Warranty. If your wire breaks due to improper installation or wear and tear on defective materials, Dog Guard® of Wisconsin will repair it for free.
“We have had Dog Guard® fencing in 2 different locations for a number of years and several dogs. We have never had any trouble with the system. We have had accidental line breaks when the utility company did some digging in our yard. They responded quickly to repair the fence. They have also been responsive when we have had training and other questions. I highly recommend Dog Guard® Out of Sight Fencing®.”

Timely, Attentive Customer Service
Many services boast of excellent customer service. We’ll let our customers speak for themselves.
“We had some construction projects completed on our property this fall and in the process, our...fence was cut several times. Needless to say, when the electricians left the fence was not functioning...I call Jeff and he came out promptly to repair it. Unfortunately, due to the frozen ground, we weren't able to bury all of it again and a section was damaged by our snow plow once the snow came. Called Jeff again and he was there the next day. So prompt and efficient, they care when our pets are not contained and potentially in danger. The fence is now fixed and our dogs are safe and happy again and free to roam our property! Thank You Jeff, Brian and Dog Guard® of Wisconsin! Putting this fence in was the best money we have spent on our dogs!”
