Business Background
Thunderpaws Dog Fences in Jackson, WY, is a family-run pet containment business with deep local roots. Jimmy and Grace Anderson, Jackson Hole residents since 1968, started the company in 1985 after joining a specialized breeding program for the rare Chinook dog. With fewer than 50 Chinooks in the world at the time, they needed reliable containment for their breeding pair and found the solution in Invisible FenceĀ® technology. Originally operating as Invisible Fence by Thunderpaws and later as Invisible Fence of Wyoming, they safely contained over 1,000 pets before retiring from the industry. Now back as Thunderpaws, Jimmy and Grace continue serving Jackson Hole with affordable, high-quality invisible dog fences and thorough training for both dogs and cats. Their approach emphasizes clear communication with pets through proven training techniques, ensuring safety without the need for traditional cages, kennels, or tethers. Every system is installed with attention to local terrain and wildlife considerations, giving homeowners near places like the National Elk Refuge or Grand Teton National Park a dependable way to give their pets freedom in a secure boundary.
Questions and Answers
What fence and gate services does Thunderpaws offer for Jackson homeowners?
We provide complete fence and gate installation, repair, painting or staining, and weatherproofing. Whether you need a new invisible dog fence system, a traditional gate fixed, or your existing fence refinished to withstand Jackson's heavy snow and UV exposure, we handle both the containment technology and the physical fence work. Our training sessions also ensure your dog or cat understands the boundary from day one.
How does Thunderpaws handle the local fencing problems caused by Jackson's wildlife and weather?
Jackson's frequent fencing issues stem from wildlife rubbing against posts, deep snow drifts that warp gates, and freeze-thaw cycles that loosen underground wires. We address these by burying boundary wires below the frost line, reinforcing gates with heavy-duty hardware, and using weatherproof coatings on all wood and metal surfaces. For residents near the Bridger-Teton National Forest, we also install systems that minimize false triggers from deer or moose passing through.
Is invisible dog fencing effective for both dogs and cats in Jackson Hole?
Yes, our invisible fence systems are designed for both dogs and cats. We tailor the correction level and collar type to the pet's size and temperament, and include hands-on training for the whole family. In the Jackson area, where open spaces are common but roads and wildlife present risks, these systems give pets safe outdoor access without blocking views or requiring unsightly barriers.
