Meet Ryan & Marc

Ryan Bard and Marc Dominick grew up together in Pittsburgh, PA, and after both moved to central Florida, their families partnered to start Dog Guard of Florida. As co-owners, the two long-time friends work with every homeowner to design the right containment solution for their yard, and they stay involved in the initial training so each dog clearly understands its boundaries. Based in Wesley Chapel, they serve Citrus, Hernando, Lake, Levy, Marion, Orange, Pasco, Seminole, and Sumter counties, and they are always available for support after the install. When you call, you are working with a local, family-owned business that treats your pet like family.

Dog fence questions, answered for Dog Guard of Florida

What areas does Dog Guard of Florida cover?

Dog Guard of Florida installs underground dog fences for homeowners across the Tampa Bay area and surrounding west central Florida communities. The business is locally owned and operated, and every system it installs is designed and assembled in America. If you live near the edge of the coverage area, reach out and the team can confirm whether your address falls within their territory.

How does Dog Guard of Florida price an underground dog fence?

Pricing is based on your property, not a flat rate. The size and shape of your yard, the number of dogs wearing receivers, and what the wire has to cross, such as driveways, irrigation lines, or landscaping beds, all shape the number. You will receive an estimate before any work starts, so there are no surprises once installation begins.

What time of year can a hidden dog fence be installed in the Tampa area?

Any month of the year. West central Florida's ground is always workable, so Dog Guard of Florida installs in January as easily as in June. Many families aim for fall through spring, when the weather is at its best for the outdoor training sessions that follow installation. Summer installs work fine too; training just moves to the cooler morning hours and around the afternoon storms.

What happens when Dog Guard of Florida installs a fence?

Your Local Pro buries a wire around the boundary you choose, installs a transmitter, and fits each dog with a lightweight receiver collar. Training flags mark the new boundary so your dog can see what the collar is signaling. From there, short training sessions teach your dog to respect the line, and your installer walks you through how to continue at home.

Is a GPS collar better than a buried wire fence for a Florida yard?

For a settled boundary on your own property, buried wire has real advantages. The wire defines an exact line that never drifts, while GPS boundaries can wander. There are no monthly fees, and a Dog Guard receiver battery lasts about a month, compared with about a day for a typical GPS collar. Dog Guard systems work for dogs about 4 pounds and up.

What kind of service is available after the fence goes in?

Your Local Pro stays available after installation. If you add a dog, the same system supports additional receivers. If you change your landscaping, put in a pool, or want the boundary adjusted, the wire layout can be modified. Batteries, collar checks, and repairs are all handled locally, and if you move within the service area, your system can often move with you.
