In addition to new Hidden Pet Fence install packages, we provide services, repairs and dog fence training to existing and new customers. Regardless of which dog fence brand you have, we can service your system. What makes our professional dog fence equipment unique is that it is compatible with almost all other brands of pet fences, so if you are in need of replacement parts, we can help with that as well. Please see our list of electric pet fence services below. If you don’t see what you are looking for, don’t hesitate to reach out to our local office and we can answer any questions you have.

Wire breaks

If your dog fence system is beeping, flashing, or you have had yard work done that has caused your fence to stop working, you may be in need of a wire break repair. When the control box is beeping or flashing (depending on the brand the alert can vary) this typically means there has been a disturbance in the wire. Our team makes this an easy fix with the right tools to find the disturbance, fix the break in the cable and connect everything back together. If certain sections of wire need to be replaced, we can take care of that as well. Before we leave, we will test all of your dog fence collars to ensure everything is in working order.

Layout changes

As your yard changes over the years and you add new dogs to your family, the goals you have for your hidden fence may also change. Maybe your dogs currently have access to your entire yard, but your new puppy spends all day barking in the front yard every time someone walks by. This is an easy fix, as our team can separate your current hidden fence wire into two sections, one front yard area, and a separate back yard area. If you let your dogs out of the back door, they would no longer be able to run up front to bark at everyone walking by. This would not require an entire new hidden fence wire installation, or even all new wire, we can simply reconfigure what you already have in most cases. A few more examples of popular layout changes include:

  • Expanding the pet fence line if it doesn’t already include your entire property
  • Moving the dog fence to exclude areas of the yard that get super muddy and wet
  • Swapping from two separate zones to a full perimeter loop
  • Conjoining your dog fence with a neighbor who also has a dog fence.

Garden loop installs

If you have any particular areas inside of your electric dog fence perimeter that you want to keep your dogs away from, our team can make that happen. We will install small loops in or around the areas that you want to keep your dogs out of, and when they get close to the area, their electronic dog fence collar will activate just like the fence around the perimeter of your yard. This can stop them from digging under the deck, eating mulch or poisonous plants, jumping in the pool, or getting too close to the fire pit. Our garden loops are truly customizable and can make your yard much more stress free, without worrying if your dogs are getting into something.

Collar replacements & upgrades

Whether your electric fence collar is no longer working or just old and outdated, we have compatible collars for nearly every system out there. We have small and lightweight dog collars with gentle spring contacts, which are huge upgrades from bulky collars with fixed metal prongs. Instead of pressing into their skin, our contacts have springs inside that move as your dog moves. These changes will make your dog’s experience on the electric fence much more comfortable. We also have a rechargeable pet fence collar option which will save you up to $100 per year by not purchasing batteries. If you are exploring new dog fence collar options, give us a call to see what we have compatible with your system. You can purchase collars from our local office, we can ship them to you, or we can set you up with a service call for a technician to come to your home. If the dog fence collar is for a new puppy, consider us for dog fence training as well!

Other replacement parts & equipment

We have compatible dog fence transmitter boxes for most electronic dog fence systems if yours is no longer working. If your electronic pet fence collar needs a refresh, we have batteries, battery caps, new collar straps, washers and contacts. Other miscellaneous items we have available include power cords, surge protectors, collar chargers, wireless indoor hidden fences, remote trainers, and much more.

Condition Response Training

Training is crucial to success with any dog, and any brand of dog fence. If you have a new dog, or moved into a house with an existing dog fence, we can come flag the fence boundaries and provide professional training for your dogs. Our Condition Response Training program is gentle yet effective. We have specialized electronic pet fence training protocol for timid dogs as well as stubborn dogs. Click here to learn more.

 

Top Brands That We Service

 

Invisible Fence® Brand

We service Invisible Fence® brand systems and have compatible parts for nearly all systems. Over the years we have acquired many Invisible Fence® brand customers, as their local offices closed and all of their listed phone numbers route to a corporate office. The “local offices” listed on Google are non existent. The Tri Cities Invisible Fence® brand location is a residential home, and the Ballston Lake location is a closed office building. Google still lists business hours for these locations, but they are not open. This can lead to longer wait times and higher service rates once you are able to reach their corporate office. Our service rates and products are generally less expensive and we have much faster, local service. 

Our pet fence collars are small, lightweight, and we have a rechargeable option which will save you over $100 per year by not ordering Invisible Fence® brand batteries. Our rechargeable collar lasts up to one month per charge. We also have gentle spring contacts on our collars instead of fixed metal probes, which makes ours much more comfortable for your dogs by putting less pressure on their skin. Instead of pressing into their skin, the gentle springs bounce as your dog moves. If you prefer to keep your Invisible Fence® brand collar, consider switching to us for batteries, as our battery price is only $15 compared to $26 which is the current Invisible Fence® brand price per battery.

In addition to replacement Invisible Fence® brand parts, we can service your dog fence regardless of your needs. Our team can repair, reconfigure or replace your dog fence wire, flag your boundaries, and/or train your dogs to learn the hidden fence boundaries. Please see the full list of services above and give us a call with any questions.

Trisha Q. Schenectady, NY

I moved into a new home that had an Invisible Fence brand dog fence already installed. I called the number on the box to schedule an invisible fence repair as it did not seem to be working. It took forever to reach someone and they finally told me it would be a 12 week wait just to have someone come out! My neighbor suggested I call Hidden Pet Fence as they had great luck with them. They were able to send a technician out 3 days later and he fixed the problem in less than an hour and got us a new collar that was compatible with the existing fence system. I highly recommend them over invisible fence!

DogWatch® Hidden Fence

We provide local service for DogWatch® brand systems and have compatible parts for nearly all dog fence brands. If you have a DogWatch® brand hidden fence and need wire repairs, new dog fence collars, boundary training for your dogs, or anything else, our local office has you covered. If you recently moved to a new home and brought your DogWatch® system with you, we can install it at your new property.

If you wish to upgrade your DogWatch® brand Hidden Fence system, our collars are small and lightweight. We also offer a rechargeable option that will save you money over time by not purchasing batteries. Our dog fence collars come with gentle spring contacts instead of fixed metal probes, making them more comfortable for your dogs. Our contacts move with your dog instead of pressing into their skin. If you prefer to keep your existing DogWatch® collars, we can replace your batteries and collar straps if they are dirty or dingy.

The Allens - Colonie, NY

“I have had the same Dog Watch system for years and on a fixed income so was not looking to spend a ton of money, but needed a new wire badly as my original wire was corroded. When the Dog Watch guy came out to quote the job, he tried to hard sell me on a $2,500 new system which I did not want or need. I started looking elsewhere and my vet recommended Hidden Fence. When their guy came out, he quoted less than half the cost and even gave a lifetime corrosion warranty on the new wire so I never have to worry about this issue again. And no hard upselling on new stuff, even though I have a different brand then they sell. I was very happy with the job. It was a better install than the original and I will be using them for any future work that is needed.”

Dog Guard®

We provide local service to Dog Guard® brand customers and have compatible parts for nearly all electronic dog fence systems. We can help with any dog fence service you need on your Dog Guard® system, including wire breaks, broken dog fence collars, replacement parts, dog fence training, or anything else you may need. Our compatible electric fence collars are small and lightweight with gentle spring contacts instead of fixed metal probes. These contacts are more comfortable for your dogs, as they move instead of pressing into your dog’s skin. Please see the full list of services we can provide for your Dog Guard® hidden fence system above.

The Wilson Family - Amsterdam, NY

“We picked up a dog guard system at a garage sale as it looked brand new and we needed a dog fence. With no way to install it we started looking for companies. I found one dog guard office close by on google, but I am a big review person and I was nervous that they had less that 10 good reviews. Another close dog fence company was hidden pet fence. They had the best reviews by far so we chose to have them come hook everything up for us and train our dogs. We were very happy with the trainers and the service.”

Pet Stop®

We have been installing and servicing Pet Stop® brand dog fences for over 20 years. Hidden Pet Fence is an authorized dealer for Pet Stop®. We choose to install the Pet Stop® brand due to the compatibility features, rechargeable dog fence collars, and customization ability.

If you moved into a home that has a Pet Stop® dog fence system already installed, we can come make sure everything is in working order and provide professional dog fence training for your dogs. If you already purchased a Pet Stop® electric dog fence at a previous home and brought it with you to a new home, we can install a new wire and hook up your existing Pet Stop® dog fence at your new home. We can provide any service listed above to all dog fence brands including Pet Stop.

Jillian S. Albany, NY

“I researched online for many hours to find what the best brand/manufacturer of electric dog fence. Pet Stop out ranked the rest with the settings I was hoping to find. I was able to locate the dealer closest to me which was Hidden Pet Fence of Albany. They sent a representative to my house the next day to help me choose a layout and a package for my dog. The installation and training process was even more in depth than I expected. My lab puppy is now running free in my backyard. I am very happy with my experience and recommend them to everyone with dogs.”

Client Testimonials

J. Thomas - Albany, NY

“I had a great experience with hidden pet fence. I called, got a quote from 2 companies and this one was the best option. We chose them because they are a local company, and was more knowledgeable and less expensive then the other company, and they had a better warranty. Highly recommended!”

R. Mauger - Albany, NY

It works perfect. 3 people said that an invisible fence would not keep my dog in and the guy gave us a guarantee that it would work. My dog is stubborn and not so smart, and the trainer had to use the collar that works past the line because of how crazy my dog is. The collar that works past the line is what we liked about the dog yard fence vs the invisible fence “company”. We also chose them because they are a local company and not a huge franchise. I couldn’t be happier with this company.
