Dog Guard of Northern & Central NJ provides professional underground electronic fencing systems with same-day dog training included for every installation. Their trained specialists use a two-step training method involving tone, visual flags, and verbal commands before introducing mild corrections to teach dogs boundary awareness. They train dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages on the same day as installation, with 99% of dogs off-leash before they leave. Training is supervised for at least 7 days post-installation, and flags are gradually removed over 15 days. The business is locally owned and operated by father-son team Garrett and Darren Smith, who are veteran-owned and provide personalized service. They offer the FreedomPro™ collar with gradual correction, ultrasonic alerts, and 30-day rechargeable battery. Training is included with every fence installation, and they provide follow-up support for repairs or adjustments. They do not offer group classes, in-home training outside of fence installation, or non-fence-related dog training services.

They specialize in containment training for reactive, energetic, or escape-prone dogs, helping owners keep pets safe from traffic, neighbors, or wildlife. Their system works for small yards and tight spaces, and they offer financing options.
