Instead of a traditional wooden or chain link fence surrounding your property, we use a boundary wire. This wire is typically buried a few inches below ground and surrounds the area that you want to contain your pet to. The boundary wire is connected to a transmitter and will carry a signal (sent from the transmitter) around the edge of your yard – when your pet gets too close to the boundary, they’ll receive a warning to back away.

Usually installed indoors and close to a power source, the transmitter is responsible for sending a clear, steady signal out to the fence boundary wire – this signal is what alerts your pet’s receiver collar to tell them to back off. Designed to withstand weather (most even have built-in lightning protection) and even power outages, the fence transmitter will also alert you if there’s a problem with the boundary wire, such as a wire break.

Worn around your pet’s neck, the receiver collar is responsible for warning your pet off when they get too close to a restricted area. If you pet approaches the boundary wire and gets too close, the receiver collar will issue an audible warning – if your pet persists, then the receiver collar will issue a gentle correction to tell your pet to back away. We only use low levels of correction with our receiver collars, mere tickles and NOT painful, traumatic electric zaps. Pet Stop’s highly advanced and customizable products make this possible.

Making sure that your pet is properly trained to the fence and knows their boundaries is critical to keeping your pet effectively contained. Pet Stop by Pet Partners uses a revolutionary, low-stress training technique called “GentleSteps™”. Customized to what best suits your pet’s individual personality and learning needs, Gentlesteps™ is designed to be pet-friendly and focus on positive reinforcement. The end result is a happier pet who learns faster and is more likely to adhere to the fencing boundaries.
