Custom Layouts
When it comes to determining which layout will best suit your containment needs our technician will walk your property with you, listen to your ideas & concerns, & then make suggestions based on the information you share and their expertise.
We strongly suggest this conversation happens with the technician the day we install your system rather than doing a consultation days in advance with a sales person that is not involved with the installation process.
If it is determined that a meeting prior to the day of installation is best, we will schedule a technician to stop by to meet with you to confirm that we can accommodate your containment needs.
Please know that the following images are only schematic – to give you a visual of what our most popular layouts look like.
Once completely trained, we can get your pet to within 6 inches from the boundary if necessary – maximizing their yard space while ensuring they stay inside your yard.
We can also make flower beds, pools, ponds (even streams & lakes!), and other landscaping elements off-limits to your pets.
(Please note: in the Edge-To-Edge™ diagram, the green boundary wire line represents where audible warning & correction occurs. There is no warning or correction where the wire is twisted leading from the boundary to the house/garage.)
Full Perimeter Loop
Our most common layout. This allows your pet to roam your entire yard, but not leave it.
Hour-Glass
Similar to the Full Perimeter loop, but pinched in the middle. This lets you contain your dog in the front or back yard, depending on where you want them to be.
Double Loop
This is used to contain ONLY the front or backyard. It’s usually used when your property’s geography won’t allow for installation around the whole property.
Edge-To-Edge™
Small yard? That’s no problem for Pet Stop® technology! We offer settings that create an even-more precise signal zone around the perimeter wire, to maximize the yard area your pet can enjoy.
Block Area
Open Lake Side
Our Exclusive Wire Trencher
See how non-invasive our wire trencher is to the average lawn.
Very little disruption and maneuvers extremely easy in tight areas.
Cuts an incision into your lawn and places the wire approximately 4 inches deep.
