Meet Derrick & Ami Westcott
Derrick and Ami Westcott are the second-generation owners of Dog Guard Midwest, having bought the business from Derrick's parents, Scott and Angie Westcott. Both worked in the dealership from its start in 2009, and along the way they have trained dozens of other Dog Guard dealers across the country. Off the clock you will find them coaching Little League, serving on the preschool board, and active in the Knights of Columbus and the Chamber of Commerce. At home on the family farm, their retired Golden Retriever Bailey still patrols the yard, keeping an eye on the cats, the chickens, and the kids.

Dog fence questions, answered for Dog Guard of Nebraska and Western Iowa
Where does Dog Guard of Nebraska and Western Iowa install underground dog fences?
Dog Guard of Nebraska and Western Iowa covers the Omaha metro, Lincoln, and Grand Island, plus western Iowa across the river, including Council Bluffs and the surrounding counties. It is part of the same family-run Dog Guard Midwest operation that serves Iowa, Kansas, and Missouri, so one call reaches a local installer on either side of the Missouri River. If you are nearby but outside these cities, reach out and your Local Pro will confirm your address.
Will an underground dog fence work on the hills and open lots around Omaha and Council Bluffs?
Yes. A buried-wire fence follows the ground it is laid in, so the steep, folded terrain of the Loess Hills east of the Missouri River holds a boundary just as well as a flat Omaha subdivision lot. Open-plains wind is no factor either, since the signal comes from a wire in the ground rather than a broadcast from a box. Your Local Pro routes the wire around slopes, swales, and drainage so the boundary fits the land.
Can one system handle Nebraska's subzero winters and scorching summers?
It can. The boundary wire sits below the surface, where temperature swings are far milder than in the air, and the transmitter lives indoors, usually in a garage or basement. Receivers are built for everyday outdoor life in the Midwest, from January cold snaps to July heat. If a season ever brings a problem, Dog Guard of Nebraska and Western Iowa services what it installs, locally.
What does the dog training include with Dog Guard of Nebraska and Western Iowa?
Training happens the same day as the installation. Your dog learns the new boundary step by step, starting with flags marking the line, a warning tone, and verbal commands, before any correction is introduced. The correction level is then set to your dog's size and temperament. Most dogs understand the yard within days, and your Local Pro leaves you with a simple plan for the first couple of weeks.
Can I take my Dog Guard system along if I move within the Omaha area?
Yes, the transmitter, receiver, and training move with you. A new boundary wire is laid at the new home, since the wire is fitted to each yard, and your dog usually relearns a new line quickly because the tone and flags are familiar. If you are moving within the service area, Dog Guard of Nebraska and Western Iowa can set up the new yard; if you are leaving it, the Home Office can connect you with the Local Pro where you land.
Is a professionally installed dog fence better than a DIY kit from the store?
A professional installation buys you three things a box kit does not: a boundary designed for your specific yard, wire buried at a consistent depth with proper splices that stand up to Midwest freeze and thaw, and hands-on training for your dog. Dog Guard systems are designed and assembled in America and installed by a local dealer who services what they sell, so when something needs attention years later, there is a person to call, not a help line.
