Underground Dog Fences in Indiana

No two Indiana yards price out the same, so your Local Pro gives you an estimate after an evaluation. Cost is driven by the length of boundary wire, the shape of the lot, how many dogs need receivers, and obstacles like driveways, sidewalks, and landscaped beds. A tidy subdivision lot in Fishers and a few wooded acres near Bloomington call for very different plans.

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.

Indiana 811 asks anyone digging to contact them at least two full working days before excavation so member utilities can mark their lines. Trenching in a boundary wire counts as digging. Many Local Pros submit the locate request themselves as part of the installation, so ask your Local Pro who is handling it and plan your install date with that waiting period in mind.

Dog Guard systems come with a Limited Lifetime Manufacturer Warranty. Transmitters, receivers, and surge protectors are covered for 15 years from the date of sale against defects when you register within 30 days. Your Local Pro also offers a 30-day money-back guarantee on the purchase price, less installation, with conditions. Lightning damage is covered only when an approved surge protector was used, so ask about one during install.

Rocky, hilly lots are workable. Much of southern Indiana sits on limestone and dolomite, with karst country running through the Mitchell Plateau from Owen County down to the Ohio River. Your Local Pro plans the wire path around ledges, steep slopes, and wooded ground and will tell you what the terrain means for the layout.

Either can work, and the right answer depends on your builder's schedule and your landscaping plans. Some homeowners in new subdivisions around Indianapolis like to get the wire in before sod goes down, while others wait until the grading and plantings are finished. Ask your Local Pro what they recommend for your lot, and mention any planned patio, pool, or driveway extension so the layout can account for it.

One system can contain several dogs, each wearing its own receiver. Your Local Pro sets each receiver to suit that dog, so a laid-back senior Lab and a young terrier do not have to share the same settings. Dog Guard offers dozens of correction levels, and your Local Pro can fine-tune them over time with a mobile app. Tell them about every dog in the household before the estimate.

We can neither confirm nor deny. Dog Guard's colors are navy and golden yellow, and the Pacers' blue and yellow sit awfully close on the color wheel, which we realize is a strange thing for a dog fence company to have checked. There is no affiliation, just a shared taste in palettes. Your Local Pro will happily talk dogs, and maybe a little basketball, during your estimate.
