Frequently Asked Questions
How does the private dog training program work for a new hidden fence system?
We start with a no-cost consultation and on-site assessment of your dog's behavior and your yard. Once the boundary wire is installed, we customize a training plan that uses visual flags and positive reinforcement. The training is done one-on-one with you and your dog, typically over two to three sessions, to teach your pet to respect the boundary reliably.
Can a hidden fence work on uneven or wooded properties in Altoona?
Yes. Our buried wire systems are designed to follow the contours of your land, including hills, wooded areas, and irregular lot lines found in neighborhoods like Eldorado and near Logan Valley. The transmitter sends a consistent correction signal regardless of terrain, and we install the wire along a path that avoids steep drop-offs and rocky ground.
What is the advantage of FM frequency technology compared to other hidden fence systems?
FM frequency provides a cleaner, more stable signal that reduces false corrections from nearby power lines or radio interference. This means your pet receives a consistent warning tone and correction only when crossing the boundary, which is especially important in Altoona neighborhoods where older electrical infrastructure might otherwise cause signal issues.
