New Mexico Underground Dog Fence Questions

Do I have to call NM 811 before digging for a dog fence?

NM 811 asks you to call at least two working days before digging, not counting the day you call, whether the project is large or small. Dial 811, and utilities will mark their buried lines. Private lines such as well pipes, drip irrigation, or power to a casita or barn are not marked, so share their locations with your installer.

Is Dog Guard available in New Mexico?

Dog Guard does not have a Local Pro in New Mexico yet. If you are in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Las Cruces, or a rural corner of the state, call the Home Office at (800) 865-0495 to ask about options for your property. Existing Dog Guard owners can also turn to the Home Office for help with their system and for Dog Guard batteries.

Can an in-ground dog fence be installed in New Mexico caliche?

Caliche is part of the job planning here. New Mexico State University notes that many New Mexico soils have caliche, a layer cemented by calcium and magnesium carbonates, and its thickness varies from yard to yard. That is one reason Dog Guard relies on professional installers who look at the ground first and plan the wire route around hard spots, xeriscaping, and drip lines. Call the Home Office to ask about options for your property.

Will an underground dog fence work on a New Mexico ranch or large lot?

It can cover a lot of ground, 50+ acres. The boundary follows the buried wire, so it does not drift the way GPS boundaries can, which may vary by up to 10 feet. There are no monthly fees, and rechargeable collars run up to about a month per charge, while battery-powered receivers can go up to about six months. It keeps your dog in, but it does not keep coyotes out, so supervision still matters.

Could I start a Dog Guard dealership in New Mexico?

Yes, New Mexico is open for the right Local Pro. These are independent, locally owned businesses that install underground dog fences and train dogs to respect their boundaries. Dog Guard supports them with more than 35 years in the business. If you know the high desert and love dogs, learn more at dogguard.com/join.

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.
