DogWatch of Chillicothe - Frankfort's Expert Wood and Vinyl Fencing

Often dogs escape due to boredom, prey drive, or anxiety about being separated from you. The gap under the gate becomes a temptation. Our private training sessions address the cause by teaching your dog strong recall and impulse control. We practice near fence lines in controlled settings so your dog learns to stay in the yard even when there's a tempting escape route. This solution builds long-term habits rather than just patching the fence.

Yes. Look for signs like your dog fixating on movement outside, whining, tail stiffening, or barking persistently at the fence line. This can escalate into bolting or aggressive moments when the gate opens. The solution is proactive training. With our private lessons, we focus on teaching a calm alternative behavior—like coming to you for a treat when a trigger passes. This reduces stress for your dog and keeps your Frankfort property secure.

Absolutely. While we recommend repairing physical fence damage, training is the backup that keeps your dog safe regardless. In our sessions, we work on boundary training—teaching your dog to respect an invisible line even if the physical barrier has imperfections. This is especially helpful for Frankfort homes with older fences or gates that don't close tightly. The training gives you peace of mind that your dog won't dart out the moment the gate is opened or when they spot a gap.
