Dog Guard of Seattle, LLC

Dog Guard of Seattle installs underground electronic dog fences across King, Snohomish, Pierce, Island, and Kitsap counties, and takes on jobs in nearby areas as well. That covers the Seattle metro, the Eastside, Tacoma and the South Sound, and communities across the water. The business has been installing Dog Guard systems since 2018 and remains locally owned and operated, so your installer knows the ground here firsthand.

From the ground up, literally. Wire length follows your property line, so lot size and shape lead the estimate, with the number of dogs and any crossings, like a concrete driveway or retaining wall, added in. Trenching through the compact glacial till common around Puget Sound is part of the normal plan here, not a surprise later. You receive your estimate before any work starts.

Nearly any time of year. Puget Sound's mild climate rarely freezes the ground, so installation runs close to year-round instead of pausing for a hard winter the way it does east of the mountains. A gray-season install has a quiet advantage, too: your dog finishes boundary training before summer, when open doors, backyard gatherings, and busy sidewalks put that training to its biggest test.

No, it just calls for the right equipment. The glacial till under much of the Seattle area is compact and studded with rock, which is tough on rented trenchers but routine for a professional who works in it every week. The wire only needs a few inches of depth, and once it is in, that same dense ground helps protect it. This is a big part of why local installation beats a do-it-yourself kit here.

Yes, service after the sale is part of the package. The team locates and repairs broken wire, reshapes boundaries when a deck, garden, or play area changes the yard, and adds collars for new dogs. Trade-ins of existing systems and indoor pet containment are available too, and batteries and accessories are easy to reorder, so the system keeps pace with your household as it changes.

Yes, dogs from about 4 pounds and up can use the system. The receiver weighs under 2 ounces, light enough for toy breeds, and correction levels adjust down to match a small dog's sensitivity. Training moves at the dog's pace regardless of size, so a Yorkie learns the same boundary a Lab does, just with gentler settings. Your Local Pro fits the collar and dials it in during the install.
