Dog Guard

Dog Guard training is integrated into the installation of electronic fencing systems. Pros conduct in-person training sessions to teach dogs to recognize and respect boundary lines using collar-based corrections. Training is ongoing and supported by the Pro, with follow-up available. Remote trainers are offered to reinforce training outside the yard. The process includes system setup, initial training, and long-term support.

Pricing Summary

Pricing varies based on property size, number of dogs, and system type. Local Pros provide written estimates after evaluating the property and needs. Financing is available.

Policies

Dog Guard offers a money-back guarantee against containment failures. Warranty claims and technical support are handled through the local Pro or the Home Office. No specific cancellation or rescheduling policy for training sessions is stated.

Dog Guard is not a direct dog training business but a provider of electronic pet fencing systems and associated training support through certified local professionals called Dog Guard Pros. These independent Pros install underground or wireless fences and provide in-person training to help dogs learn to stay within designated boundaries using collar-based corrections. The training is tailored to each dog’s needs, with Pros offering ongoing support to ensure long-term success. Dog Guard emphasizes community-based service, with Pros averaging 10 years in business and focusing on personalized care. They also offer remote trainers to reinforce obedience and boundary training beyond the yard. The company provides comprehensive resources, including manuals, warranties, financing, and a dealer portal for Pros to ensure consistent, high-quality service across the U.S.

Dog Guard does not offer traditional obedience classes, group training, or in-home behavioral coaching. Instead, their training is integrated into the installation and use of their electronic fence systems, primarily focused on containment and boundary learning. Their unique advantage is the combination of reliable, customizable fencing technology with local expert training support, making them a trusted choice for homeowners seeking a secure, long-term solution for pet containment.

Dog Guard also sells remote trainers (like the Mini Educator) that allow owners to reinforce commands and correct behaviors anywhere, using controlled stimuli similar to the fence system. These tools are marketed as extensions of the fence training, helping with leash walking, distraction control, and obedience.

Dog Guard is not a franchise but supports independent dealers who are trained and equipped by the company to deliver installation and training services.

Dog Guard’s FreedomPro™ system is their most advanced underground fence, designed to be more reliable than GPS-based alternatives. They provide comparisons against competitors like Invisible Fence®, Halo®, and DogWatch® to help customers make informed decisions.

Accomplishments

Dog Guard has been keeping dogs safe for 35 years. Their products are designed and assembled in the U.S. and backed by a limited lifetime warranty. The average Dog Guard Pro has 10 years of experience in the business.

How to Get Started!
