Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How old or big must my pet be to be trained to the fence?

A: First of all, your pet should be well-adjusted to the home environment before you start training. There are no minimum or maximum size limitations, but we do recommend your pet be at least eight weeks old before starting the training.

Q: How long will it take to train my dog to the fence?
 
A: Most dogs are trained in about six days. Our gentle training drastically reduces the duration of training and is more humane than our competitor's methods.

Q: Will the correction harm my pet?
 
A: The correction is safe, harmless and humane. It is just effective enough to STARTLE the dog. The correction produces less energy than that produced by a static shock from carpeting.

Q:  Can I use an underground dog fence for my aggressive dog?

A: No. We will not sell or install an electric dog fence for an aggressive dog. The only exception is when our product supports a pre-existing wooden or chainlink fence.  Use of corrections with aggressive dogs is not recommended.  Instead, we suggest you call your vet for a training recommendation.

Q: How do I know when the batteries have to be replaced?
 
A: This will vary depending on how often your dog tests the boundary.  In most cases the battery will last from 5 to 8 months. However, the low battery indicator light will alert you when the batteries are low so you can change the batteries before they expire.

Q:  Is Oregon Dog Fence associated with Invisible Fence® or ANY other pet fence brand other than Pet Stop®?

A: No. We are an authorized Pet Stop® provider. Oregon Dog Fence Company sells and or services all other brands as an independant pet fencing contractor. Oregon Dog Fence sells and or services all other brands of pet containment only as an independent contractor, including all product upgrades, exchanges, trade-ins and replacements.
