Dog Guard of Maryland

Dog Guard of Maryland serves a three-state area where Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia meet: Frederick, Howard, Montgomery, and Washington counties in Maryland; Loudoun, Fairfax, Fauquier, Prince William, and Clarke counties in northern Virginia; and Berkeley and Jefferson counties in West Virginia's eastern panhandle. The family owned business has been installing Dog Guard systems since 2012.

Request an estimate, which is prepared before any work begins. Pricing follows the property: total boundary footage, the number of dogs, and what the wire crosses. In this region that ranges from quarter-acre subdivision yards in Montgomery County to rocky Blue Ridge foothill lots and multi-acre horse properties in Loudoun and Fauquier, so estimates are individual.

Yes. Trade-ins of existing systems are accepted, so an aging or unreliable setup from another company can be replaced with current Dog Guard equipment, often reusing a sensible boundary layout. The team also locates and repairs existing buried wire when the bones of the old system are still good. Either route gets you back to a dependable boundary without starting from zero.

Your Local Pro works with you and your dog, and training is treated as part of the job, not an add-on. Sessions start with flags and the warning tone, correction levels are matched to each dog, and you get a plan for brief daily practice. Strong-willed dogs and soft-tempered dogs are trained differently, which is exactly why the training is done in person.

Yes, one system handles both. Each dog wears its own receiver, and every receiver is adjusted independently, so a 90-pound shepherd and a 9-pound terrier can share the same boundary with settings suited to each. Dog Guard works for dogs about 4 pounds and up, and the receiver weighs under 2 ounces. Adding another dog later only means adding another collar.

Local service for the life of the system. The team locates and repairs wire damage, adjusts boundaries when you add a deck, pool, or garden, supplies batteries through a Battery Plan, and sets up receivers for new dogs. Because the business is family owned and based in the area, the people who service your system know the local terrain.
