Q&A
How does Dog Guard handle installation on rocky soil common in Groton?
We assess your property first. For rocky soil, we can trench through softer areas or use direct burial cables that are shielded against damage. Our 30+ years experience includes working with coastal terrain, ensuring reliable containment.
What training do you provide for my dog after installing the invisible fence?
We include a comprehensive training program that teaches your dog the boundary flags and signals. Our process uses positive reinforcement, and we offer follow-up sessions to reinforce behavior. It's based on Eric Orkney's professional animal training background.
Do you repair or weatherproof existing fences?
Yes, we repair and weatherproof all types of fences and gates. We also paint or stain them. Our goal is to extend your fence's life, which is especially useful in Groton's humid coastal climate.
Local Business Description

The company specializes in invisible fencing, offering installation, repair, painting, staining, and weatherproofing for fences and gates.
