Professional Dog Fencing Products and Expertise. Finding a pet Solution That is Right For Your Dog
Caring for your beloved pets
Freedom & Safety for Your Pet
Fence-A-Pet offers professional dog fence installations and training. We understand that your pet is unique, and we’ll take an individual approach to training your pet to their new fence. We guarantee that your pet will be safely contained, and in the case that they may need more training, we’ll provide it at no additional cost to you. Be sure to ask about our money back containment guarantee.
Custom Designs
The fence installation process is actually quite simple. We will bury a wire around the perimeter of your property with training flags to indicate where the new invisible boundary is. This wire begins and ends at a transmitter that is located at an indoor outlet for power, typically in a garage. Your dog will begin to wear a small customized receiver that is programmed for their individual size and temperament. Using our low-stress GentleSteps™ Training method, your pet is introduced to the boundary and is free to roam your property with training flags removed in roughly 1-2 weeks.
We’ll custom-design a fence layout to meet your specific needs. Below are some examples of our most common layouts:
Below are our most popular underground pet fencing layouts, but we can customize the fence boundary layout if necessary – we can also make flower beds, pools, ponds (even streams, lakes and the ocean!) and other landscaping elements off-limits to your pets.

Installation
On the day of your scheduled installation, Fence-A-Pet owner Tom Foley will personally arrive at your property and walk the yard with you to map out exactly where your dog should be free to roam—and where they should stay away from—while offering expert layout recommendations along the way. Using our custom-built equipment, we install your underground fence several inches below the surface, including cleanly crossing driveways, leaving your yard looking virtually untouched. We then place our signature red training flags to clearly define your dog’s new boundary, and finish by setting up and customizing your dog’s receiver collar using our GentleSteps™ training approach for a safe, comfortable, and effective introduction to the system.
Training
Fence-A-Pet is a leader in safe, stress-free training, using our proven GentleSteps™ approach to ensure a positive experience for every dog. Each receiver collar is carefully customized to your dog’s individual personality, size, and temperament—creating a training level that is both gentle and effective. Through a progressive, step-by-step training process, we’re able to successfully train dogs of any breed, size, or prey drive. At Fence-A-Pet, your dog’s safety, comfort, and long-term success are at the forefront of everything we do.
Support & Service
Once your fence is installed and your dog is fully trained, Fence-A-Pet continues to stand behind you with ongoing support and service. We’re always available to answer questions, provide guidance, and handle any maintenance needs to keep your system performing at its best. Our commitment doesn’t end after installation—we’re here to ensure your dog stays safe, secure, and confident within their boundary for years to come.
GentleSteps Training
Keeping your dog safe at home shouldn’t be stressful—for you or your pet. At Fence-A-Pet, our GentleSteps™ Training is designed to create a calm, clear, and positive learning experience from day one. We use a gradual, progressive approach, starting at the lowest possible level and customizing each step to your dog’s unique personality, size, and temperament.
This method allows your dog to clearly understand their new boundaries without fear or confusion. Instead of overwhelming them, we build confidence through consistency and repetition, resulting in faster learning and long-term success. Most dogs are fully trained and confidently enjoying their new freedom within 1–2 weeks.
The result is a safe, happy, and well-trained dog that understands their boundaries and can enjoy your property with confidence.
Give your pet the care they deserve today

Product Features
GentleSteps™ Training
Our GentleSteps™ method safely and calmly teaches your dog their boundaries, creating a confident, well-trained, and stress-free pet.
Collar Size and Weight
Pet Stop® offers the smallest and most lightweight collar-receivers on the market. This equates to unmatched comfort for your pet.
Flash Alert™ Battery Warning Light
The Pet Stop® patented FlashAlert™ feature will always remind you when your pet’s collar battery needs replacing.
Immune to Temperature Changes
Temperatures vary substantially, and this affects Electric Dog Fence signal strengths. ALL Pet Stop® products are designed to ensure the signal field will not change regardless of temperature.
DM Signal Technology
Most dog fences use an AM or FM frequency. Pet Stop® uses DM-technology. This higher, clearer frequency has been proven to minimize false activation and interference from other signals.
Zapp Alert™ Memory + Lightning Protection
In the event of power loss, Pet Stop® products will remember their settings. They also come equipped with Lightning protection and Zapp Alert™ to notify you if there is any damage done.
Wire Break Warning
Your Transmitter is constantly monitoring your system. In the event of a wire break an alarm will sound from your transmitter to alert you.
TriScan ™ Omni-Directional Antenna
No blind spots or “holes” because all our receivers incorporate THREE antennas ensuring full 360 degrees of signal detection.
SafetyStop™ Safety Shutoff
Most products offer some sort of safety shut off in case your pet gets stuck in the correction field but only Pet Stop® products will shut off and stay off until your pet is free from the signal.
StayAway™ Anti-Linger System
With competitor brands, pets quickly learn that the warning signal has no consequence. But ours calculate the time your pet stays in the warning field and gradually increase the correction Level until they retreat. This saves battery life and, more importantly, reinforces the initial training and conditioning.
Bluetooth Smartphone Control
SMARTPHONE CONTROL
Link™ Bluetooth App
In addition to keeping your dog safely contained in the yard, the Link™ app gives you remote control over your dog’s collar and lets you address in-home behaviors like chewing, jumping, counter surfing, or staying out of rooms—all from your smartphone. It’s an extra layer of training and convenience that puts you in control, anytime, anywhere.

Many people think of electronic dog fence systems as strictly an outdoor affair. But we have a solution when your pet is indoors as well. Using our same highly customizable system, you can specify those places in your home that are free-range and those that need to be pet-free. Pet Stop offers both a wired and battery operated versions.
The only receiver built to take everything a dog can dish out! You count on your dog’s fencing system to provide safety for your dog and peace of mind for you. That’s why only Pet Stop protects our sensitive electronics with the industry’s toughest, most durable case constructed with a special blend of thermoplastic. With twice the wall thickness of lesser fencing systems, Pet Stop provides superior chew resistance, protection from water, dirt and all the tortures that come with hanging around with your dog in the rough and tumble world he lives in!
Reaction Time
Pet Stop Smart Receiver collars react faster than any other brand of receiver. While the EcoLite Receiver reacts in just 80 milliseconds, the UltraTuff® is not far behind. Don’t be fooled by fancy names or competitive claims. Only Pet Stop is engineered to be the safest and fastest receiver available.
TriScann® — a must-have to eliminate blind spots
Other receivers require the pet’s head to be perfectly straight and level when approaching the fence signal. Pet Stop is the first to offer a three-antenna receiver, which provides your pet with a full 360-degree reception of the signal, regardless of the collar position.
Flash Alert® — notifies you to replace a weak battery
Knowing when to change the battery, or recharge it in rechargeable models, is a critical requirement for safe Pet-containment. The Pet Stop exclusive FlashAlert will remind you to replace the battery before your pet gets loose. This is a true battery-monitoring system — not a timed reminder like you might find in other brands.
Safety Stop® — fail-safe feature to prevent continuous correction
We engineer for safety even against rare situations. In the unlikely event your pet gets caught and held within range of the signal field, the patented Pet Stop SafetyStop feature limits the correction to a maximum of 20 seconds. Frighteningly, other systems don’t include this fail-safe or they configure the receiver to cycle without end until the battery is depleted.
Correction Settings — three different modes
Only Pet Stop offers three different modes of correction, giving you complete flexibility in crafting the ideal system for your pet:
- GentleSteps™ Mode for training
- Progressive Mode to advance the correction level automatically
- Over 30 different standard mode correction levels
Your dealer will help you select the mode best suited for your pet.
Smart Receiver® — DM Technology to avoid false correction
The Pet Stop transmitters and receivers work in conjunction to provide a pure signal free from interference and false corrections from other devices.
Stopper™ – effectively addresses escaping behaviors
This highly effective Pet Stop exclusive puts an end to attempting-to-escape issues by extending the correction for different intervals. This feature is for pets who have started to challenge their learning by exceeding their boundaries on a regular basis. This allows us to extend the correction for preset intervals to further reinforce the training and solve the problem of the chronic tester always trying to find a way to escape.
The PCC-200 Receiver is our most economical receiver and comes with a one-year limited lifetime warranty. It packs in all the same features of the higher priced models, except for the GentleSteps™ programming. The PCC-200 System was the recipient of the Consumers Digest Best Buy award.

Pet Stop® replacement batteries are innovative, little marvels of technology that work flawlessly with the receiver collar. They’re ranked the highest on the market in durability and performance, and they are relatively inexpensive when evaluated next to batteries from companies such as Invisible Fence®, DogWatch®, PetSafe® and the rest.
