| Frequently Asked Questions |
How did we get started?
We got started locally in 2006 after visiting my son and daughter in law in Harrisburg,
PA. They had recently moved and had a professional pet containment system
installed for their two Irish Setters, Gordy and Hope. They were amazed at how
quickly the dogs learned the system, how convenient it was to not have to take them
out on leashes, and how inexpensive the system was compared to conventional type
fencing. After checking around, we realized that nobody in our area offered these
systems, so we inquired about becoming a dealer and here we are.
What is DOG GUARD?
DOG GUARD is an electronic fence system that is installed underground by burying a
single wire as a complete loop along the entire perimeter of your property. This
underground boundary can also include certain portions of your yard, such as a pool
or garden. Your dog is safely contained within your yard, while not being allowed to
trample your gardens or swim in your pool.
How does it work?
First, a transmitter is installed in a convenient location, such as the garage or
basement. Then, the wire loop is placed underground. The transmitter sends a
harmless radio signal through the wire, which is picked up by the small receiver on
the dog's collar. When the dog nears the wire, the receiver picks up the signal and
gives off an audible warning, while at the same time giving the dog a mild correction.
Isn't it cruel to correct my dog all the time?
The correction has been thoroughly tested and proven to be harmless. It is a mild
static pulsation, similar to a shock from a doorknob, yet unpleasant enough that the
dog will quickly learn to avoid it. The whole purpose of a good pet containment
system is to contain your pet without correcting him all the time. The DOG GUARD
system along with the training your pet receives ensure that your pet learns the
boundary and stays away from it. Most pets will never sustain more than two or three
corrections. Remember the level of correction must be greater than the level of
distraction.
How does the training system work?
The boundary is marked off with flags, creating a visible boundary line for the pet. For
two weeks, the dog owner should spend fifteen minutes, twice daily, exercising the
dog around the flag boundary. If the dog moves toward the flags, he should be told
"NO!" The dog should then be moved away from the flags and given lots of praise. By
using this technique, the dog will quickly learn where the boundary is located. Later,
once the dog becomes familiar with the boundary, the flags can be removed.
Remember, praise and repetition are the keys to success!
Can a dog on the DOG GUARD system be taken out of the yard for a walk?
Yes! Once the dog is trained to the system, he can be taken outside of the yard. The
DOG GUARD receiver collar must be taken off before putting the leash on.
How do I know that the system is functioning properly?
Our transmitter has three colored indicator lights. The red and green light should be
on all the time, while the yellow light will only come on in the event of an electrical
surge or lightning damage.
Are your batteries rechargeable?
They are not. Rechargeable batteries, while a good idea, do not suit the purpose of a
good pet containment system. To be most effective, rechargeable batteries need to
be totally drained before recharging. What do you do while the battery is recharging?
How do you know when the battery is sufficiently drained?
How much does DOG GUARD cost?
DOG GUARD costs much less than traditional fencing, and has none of the
maintenance and aesthetic problems. The cost will vary, depending on the size of the
property and the number of dogs on the system. Every DOG GUARD dealer works
directly with the manufacturer, therefore the cost of DOG GUARD may be lower than
you think.
What makes DOG GUARD better than any other system?
Better, of course, is always in the eye of the beholder. However, here are some facts
you may want to consider when comparing our product with any other product on the
market:* The DOG GUARD system comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. This
time allows you to make sure your pet will be successful with this product. We do this
to offer that "extra peace of mind" while your pet is in training.
• The transmitter offers a lifetime warranty against power surges and lightning strikes.
• The receiver is waterproof.
• A lifetime warranty on the receiver.
• The DG9000 receiver is the most powerful receiver on the market. If necessary, the
correction can be reduced by more than 75%. Even with reduced correction, no other
receiver comes close to the strength of the DG9000.
• Our NEW DG3000 is one of the smallest receiver units available. Weighing in at 2
oz., it is perfect for dogs 10 lb. and under, as well as cats! Don't be fooled by its size,
though. The DG3000 provides STRONG & DEPENDABLE CORRECTION, just like the
DG9000.
• The transmitter is capable of enclosing up to 50 acres of property.
• The system is user friendly, with indicator lights and range adjustment at your
fingertips.
