“This company is so reassuring and they make sure you know everything about what they do and how to help the dogs adjust to the fence. They truly care about our animals and their owners! 10/10 well worth every penny I couldn't say enough good things about them!”

“I am so impressed with their service! I have a small Chiweenie who is 9 and a large English Cream Golden Retriever who is 2, both are thriving after just a couple of days! Their customer service is wonderful and the product is life changing for me not constantly worrying about our little dog getting out of a fence. Highly recommend!”

February 2025 Dog of the Month

Shout out to Dianne & David Lacina for sending Sara & Walter Vispoel to Dog Guard! 🥳 Sara & Walter live on 3 acres of land in Iowa City and wanted an underground solution for their 2 dogs to play in that space. After installation we trained their two Golden Retrievers: Herbie & Frigo! Both dogs picked up that the flags 🚩 were their new boundaries and are loving their leash-free yard! Way to go, Herbie & Frigo!
