Invisible Fencing of Richmond - Williamsburg's Experienced Wood and Vinyl Fencing

The most common cause is a break in the buried wire due to digging by animals, landscaping work, or ground freeze-thaw cycles typical in eastern Indiana winters. A collar with a low battery or a poor connection can also make the correction inconsistent. Our team can run a diagnostic along the wire loop to pinpoint the exact break or fault.

Signs include a warning tone from the collar that sounds when the pet is far from the boundary, a pet that no longer stops at the line, or a transmitter that shows an error light. If you live near the Whitewater River, damp ground can sometimes cause signal interference. Testing the collar weekly and checking the transmitter status typically reveals the issue.

The solution is to add a new loop of boundary wire that connects to your existing transmitter or a separate transmitter for the new zone. We can bury the wire along the edge of your garden beds or alongside a driveway, matching the depth and gauge to the original system. This keeps your pet contained while allowing access to the new area without digging up established plants.
