Lance’s Hidden Fences

Training is conducted in one-on-one sessions tailored to the dog’s temperament and learning pace. Sessions are scheduled after installation and require owner participation over several weeks. The process includes boundary introduction using flags, controlled exposure to the correction signal, and reinforcement of desired behavior with positive and firm tones. Two sessions are included with installation; additional sessions are available for $125 each. Follow-up visits are offered complimentary if weather or other factors interfere with initial training.

Training sessions cost $125 each, with session length varying based on the dog’s needs. A complete installation package including training (2 sessions), transmitter, wire, flags, batteries, and containment guarantee is $1,175 for one dog up to 1 acre. Additional dogs are $350 each, and additional acres are $300 each. Self-installation kits are available upon request. Batteries and collars are sold separately at competitive prices.

Policies

Additional acres are not billed until work is completed. Training sessions require scheduling by phone or email. No cancellation or rescheduling policy is explicitly stated, but follow-up training is offered complimentary if weather interferes with initial sessions.

Lance’s Hidden Fences is a dog training business that specializes in training dogs to use electronic underground containment systems. Training is provided as part of a complete installation package or can be purchased separately at $125 per session, with session lengths varying from 20 minutes to a few hours based on the dog’s needs. The trainer emphasizes that successful containment depends heavily on proper conditioning and owner participation over a few weeks. Training focuses on balanced techniques using body language, tone, and strategic affection to minimize stress and maximize comprehension, avoiding harsh corrections. Flags are provided free of charge with any training session. The trainer is described by customers as patient, professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to both dogs and owners, with follow-up sessions offered at no extra cost when needed.

Lance also offers installation, repair, battery sales, and collar replacements for major brands like Invisible Fence®, PetSafe®, and DogWatch®. The business provides a containment guarantee and a Customer Care Plan for ongoing maintenance. Training is not offered independently of the containment system; it is specifically designed to teach dogs to respond to electronic fence signals.

The trainer is available 7 days a week from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. and serves clients in Columbus, Ohio, and the Cincinnati area.
