Reliable Fencing Company in Williamsport, PA 17701 - DogWatch by Kriger Fence

Dogs often ignore fences due to boredom, high prey drive (like chasing squirrels near Brandon Park), or seeing people and dogs on the other side. Uneven terrain, like sloped lots near the Susquehanna, can also create gaps or make fences less effective. Without clear boundaries, your dog may dig, jump, or push through.

If your dog paces along the fence line, barks at passersby, or has escaped even once, these are signs they view the fence as a challenge, not a boundary. Other signs include digging near the base or ignoring your recall when outside. These behaviors won’t stop with a taller fence; they need training to respect the invisible boundary.

Private training from DogWatch by Kriger Fence teaches your dog to understand property lines—no matter what kind of fence you have. We use positive reinforcement and desensitization to triggers like delivery trucks on Market Street or neighbors walking by. The result is a dog that stays in your yard reliably, even near distractions, so you can enjoy your Williamsport home without worry.
