One of my favorite parts of the job is finding solutions to challenging situations with regards to installing your DogWatch Hidden Fence. Most jobs are pretty straight forward, I mount the transmitter in the garage and bury the wire outside in the yard with my machine. However there are times when things are a little more challenging than that.

sometimes the landscaping in the yard is so elaborate or is old and very overgrown that I cannot use my machine to bury the wire. Other times there are no electrical outlets in the garage that I can plug my transmitter into. And then there are the requests from my customers. While not every challenge can be overcome, most times there is a way to make the fence work for my customer.

I recently installed an invisible fence for a customer in Georgetown that owns a rather large plantation. They wanted to let their Ridgeback have full run of the property at night but during the day, while guests visit the plantation, the dog had to be kept in smaller area away from all the people. For this customer we made a small 2 acre loop within the large 20 acre invisible fence and wired the loops together using a switch. Now all the customer has to do in the morning is bring the dog down into the smaller loop, flip the switch to activate the small loop and the dog will stay inside the daytime loop. At night she does the reverse, flips the switch and the dog has the entire plantation to roam. It took a little extra training for the dog to figure out the fence configuration but now he is one happy pup!
