Dog Guard St. Louis: Serving Missouri and Illinois

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Dog Guard is a top-of-the-line electronic fencing system that's installed out of sight and underground keeping your pet safe and your yard looking fantastic. Our technicians bury a single continuous wire around the perimeter, and your dog gets impulse training to abide by it. This setup can be customized to suit your location and safely contains your dog inside the space without the cost and aesthetic burden of traditional fencing.

  • Our technicians inspect the area that needs to be secured. Then they install a transmitter in your home, usually the garage or basement, while the wire loop is installed underground.

    The transmitter sends a harmless signal through the wire, picked up by the receiver collar when the pet crosses the boundary. You can choose between a mild correction or an audible warning to warn your pet to not cross the border.

  • When the system is installed the boundary is marked off by flags creating a visual perimeter for you and your pet. We recommend that you spend fifteen minutes, twice daily, exercising the dog around the flag boundary for two weeks.

    If your dog moves towards the flags, you should tell them “NO!”. Move your dog away from the perimeter and reward them with lots of praise and love.

    With this technique, your dog will quickly learn where the boundary is and that they should avoid it. Once your dog is comfortable, you can remove the boundary flags. Repetition, patience, and praise are the keys to successful training!

  • The correction techniques applied with the Dog Guard system have been tested and shown to be harmless. Your pet will receive a mild static pulsation, a slight shock, which is unpleasant enough that the dog will learn to avoid it.

    The Dog Guard system helps you teach your pet their boundaries without you having to correct them all the time. Our high-quality system combined with our recommended training ensures your pet learns where the boundary limit is and stays away from it.

  • Dog Guard costs much less than traditional solutions, such as vinyl, aluminum, chain link, or wood fencing. It also does not require expensive upkeep like standard fencing.

    The cost of a Dog Guard system varies depending on the property's size and the number of dogs on the system. Feel free to contact us today to obtain a free quotation. Call (636) 397-3321.

  • Our product outranks and outperforms others on the market. Here's why:

    - Dog Guard fencing has a 30-day money-back guarantee. This offers pet owners plenty of time to go through the training process and be sure the system will work for them.

    - The DG 9 XT is the most powerful receiver on the market, and it is waterproof. Even if the correction is reduced by 75%, it still remains the receiver with the greatest power on the market.

    - Our new DG Micro Receiver is one of the smallest receiver units out there. This makes our product perfect for pet owners with tiny dogs, and even cats!

    - Our systems can build a perimeter on up to 50 acres of property and can safeguard more than 25 dogs using collars at the same time.

  • We believe Dog Guard has the most effective electronic fencing system and training on the market. Dog Guard products are designed and assembled in the U.S.A. to provide exceptional quality and reliability. But our people are just as important. Since we are a locally owned business, you’ll be working with someone who is part of your community, someone who can provide support from installation to training and beyond.

  • Over 250,000 pets (of all breeds and sizes) have been safely contained by Dog Guard systems throughout the U.S.A. Dog Guard receivers are customizable for each dog and we offer a 90-day money back containment guarantee because we are that confident that we can safely contain your dog!

  • We will train your pet the day of installation. 99% of dogs we work with will be off-leash the same day we install your fence! You will need to supervise your dog in the area for at least 7 days before leaving them unattended.

  • Once the dog becomes familiar with the visible boundary, the flags can be removed. Begin removing the flags after 5 days. Start by removing every other flag while the dog is in the house. Five days later, remove 1/2 of the remaining flags. Five days later remove all of the flags. It is important not to take them all out at once or the dog will think you removed the fence.

  • They are not. Rechargeable batteries, while a good idea, do not suit the purpose of a good pet containment system. To be most effective, rechargeable batteries need to be totally drained before recharging. What do you do while the battery is recharging? How do you know when the battery is sufficiently drained? To save our customers from worrying about these questions, we offer a battery plan.
