Arkansas Underground Dog Fence Questions

Does Dog Guard serve my part of Arkansas?

It may. A Dog Guard Local Pro based in Missouri serves parts of Arkansas, so the answer depends on your address. Type your ZIP code into the Dog Guard locator to check. If your home isn't covered yet, call the Dog Guard Home Office at (800) 865-0495 to talk through options. Existing Dog Guard owners in Arkansas can get replacement batteries and support from the Home Office as well. Much of Arkansas is open territory for a new Dog Guard Local Pro; see dogguard.com/join.

How much does an underground dog fence cost in Arkansas?

Price is set property by property after an evaluation. The biggest factors are how much ground you want covered, how many dogs you have, rocky or steep terrain, and obstacles like gravel driveways, creeks, and gardens. Wire can't run through open water, so creek crossings and pond edges shape the layout. Start by confirming your ZIP code is inside the service area.

Will the utility company mark my septic and well lines before a dog fence install in Arkansas?

Usually not. Arkansas 811 notes that utilities mark only their own lines, and anything behind the meter is a private line belonging to the property owner. That can include a well line, septic system, irrigation, or power to a shop. Arkansas 811 has member utilities locate within two business days, and a quick sketch of your private lines helps your Local Pro plan the install.

Can an underground dog fence go in rocky Ozark ground in northwest Arkansas?

Rocky ground makes installation more involved, but it doesn't automatically rule out a buried-wire fence. Chert is so common in the Ozarks that a University of Arkansas extension article calls it 'as common as dirt,' and it breaks into fist-sized pieces. During the evaluation, your Local Pro looks at how rocky your yard is and plans the route accordingly.

Does an "invisible" dog fence work on a wooded lot in the Arkansas hills?*

A wooded, hilly lot can be a good fit for a buried-wire fence. The boundary is defined by the wire in the ground, so it stays consistent under a tree canopy and across slopes, while GPS boundaries can vary by up to 10 feet. Dog Guard also works on small and oddly shaped lots, not just big open yards, and there are no monthly fees to keep it running.

Can a Chihuahua or other small dog use an underground fence in Arkansas?

Dogs from about 4 pounds and up can wear a Dog Guard receiver, which weighs under 2 ounces. That's a much smaller dog than GPS collars like Halo can fit. Your Local Pro sets a gentle correction level for a little dog, and the ultrasonic alert and audible tones come first, giving your Chihuahua fair warning before the boundary. Training is included, so small dogs aren't left to figure it out alone.
