Is there a Dog Guard Local Pro in Arizona?
+
−
Not yet. Dog Guard is sold and installed only through independent Local Pros, and none currently serves Arizona. If you'd like to explore your options, call the Dog Guard Home Office at (800) 865-0495. Already own a Dog Guard system from a move or a previous home? The Home Office can still help with support and replacement batteries, which you can also order at dogguard.com/products/batteries.
Could I start a Dog Guard business in Phoenix, Tucson, or elsewhere in Arizona?
+
−
That's exactly how Dog Guard grows. Every Local Pro is an independent, locally owned business, and Arizona is open territory right now, from Valley subdivisions to Tucson and Flagstaff. If you like dogs, working outdoors, and running your own operation, visit dogguard.com/join to learn what becoming a Local Pro involves and to start a conversation with the Home Office.
Can an underground dog fence go through caliche and desert landscaping in Arizona?
+
−
It can, but Arizona ground is a job for a trained installer, not a weekend shovel. University of Arizona Extension notes that many southern Arizona soils have caliche, soil cemented by lime in layers from a few inches to several feet thick. Gravel yards, drip lines, and desert plantings add more to route around. Since there's no Arizona Local Pro yet, call the Home Office at (800) 865-0495 to discuss your property.
Do Arizona HOAs allow underground dog fences, and can one keep my dog out of the pool area?
+
−
Many HOAs are open to them, and pool areas are a common reason people want one. The Community Associations Institute estimates about 2.2 million Arizonans live in community associations, many with rules on walls and fences, so check your covenants first. A buried-wire system is out of sight, and the wire can be laid out to create an exclusion zone around a pool. Keep any required pool barrier in place, though.
Will an "invisible" dog fence protect my dog from coyotes in Arizona?*
+
−
No, and no fence should be counted on for that. An underground fence trains your dog to stay in the yard, but it doesn't keep coyotes or other wildlife out. Arizona Game and Fish advises never leaving small pets unattended outdoors, especially at dawn and dusk when coyotes are most active, and notes that even a 6-foot wall isn't reliable protection because coyotes are skilled jumpers.
Is Dog Guard® the same as Invisible Fence®?
+
−
No. The terms "invisible", "invisible fence" and "invisible fencing" are registered and considered trademarks by Invisible Fence, Inc. Electronic pet fences with a buried wire are often referred to as "invisible fences", but Dog Guard® should not be confused with the Invisible Fence, Inc. Dog Guard® is not affiliated in any way with the Invisible Fence, Inc. Dog Guard® and Out of Sight Fencing® are registered trademarks of Sunward Electronics, Inc.
