Hawaii Underground Dog Fence Questions

Is there a Dog Guard Local Pro in Hawaii?

Not yet. Dog Guard does not currently have a Local Pro on any of the Hawaiian Islands. If you would like a professionally installed underground fence on Oahu, Maui, Kauai, or the Big Island, call the Home Office at (800) 865-0495 to ask about options. Owners who brought a Dog Guard system from the mainland can get support and Dog Guard batteries from the Home Office too.

Can you bury an "invisible" dog fence in Hawaii's lava rock?*

Rocky island ground takes careful planning. University of Hawaii soil scientists note that soils on younger lava flows can be very stony, with rock making up as much as 80 percent on some 'a'a flows, and conditions can change within a short distance. Any installation starts with a careful review of the ground conditions. Hawaii's One Call Center also asks for notice five to 28 business days before digging, so build that into your timeline.

Does an underground dog fence work on a small Honolulu lot?

Small lots are where a buried wire really shines. Dog Guard works for yards of every size and shape, including tight ones, because the boundary is set by the wire and does not drift. GPS systems can vary by up to 10 feet and typically need large yards, which rarely fits a compact island property. The receiver weighs under 2 ounces, suitable for dogs from about 4 pounds and up, and there are no monthly fees.

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.

Can I bring Dog Guard to Hawaii as a local business?

Dog Guard would welcome that conversation. Every system is sold and installed by an independent Local Pro who lives and works in the community, which fits island life well. If you know the neighborhoods, the ground, and the dogs where you live, learn how to become a Local Pro at dogguard.com/join.

I'm moving my dog to Hawaii. Can I keep using my Dog Guard collar there?

Your collar can come along, and the Home Office at (800) 865-0495 can help with support and Dog Guard batteries after the move. Plan the dog's arrival carefully, though. Hawaii is rabies-free and requires two rabies vaccinations and a passing FAVN test, with paperwork due at least 10 days before arrival. Dogs meeting every 5 Day Or Less requirement may qualify for direct airport release in Honolulu, while others can face up to 120 days of quarantine. If you bring a full system, the transmitter moves with you, but the new home will need its own boundary wire installed.
