Recent Dog Fencing Reviews in Pittsburgh
- PITTSBURGH PET FENCE, LLCQuick Summary: Peace of mind, Skilled and efficient installers, Thorough training, One-of-a-kind technology Pittsburgh Pet Fence is a unique company within their space for a few important reasons. I'll preface my review by admitting that I am about the biggest advocate for DIY you will find. Believe me when I say I did all the planning/pricing of doing the job myself and I am THRILLED that we made the decision to allow PPF to handle the job. Maurice and Cole installed the fence. Before they did any work, they walked my wife and I around the property and talked us through the best place to run the wire. This was extremely helpful, as we weren't really sure how to maximize the amount of space for our dogs. It was clear to us that the team's first and most important concern was bringing us onto the same page. Once they helped us make a game plan, they began their work. The installers at PPF have a great system in place. While one person is laying the wire, the other is preparing/installing the electrical components and power supply for the fence. Both guys were so skilled at what they were doing. The result of these factors was a thorough and fast completion of the job. Once the job was complete, PPF worked with us to train our dog to understand the lay of the land and how to respect the flags/fence. They also make sure you know exactly how to use every bit of equipment. You will realize right away that these people genuinely care about your pets. Their understanding of the behavioral psychology of dogs paired with their patience and diligence in training guarantee that you and your pet will get the most benefit out of the product. The tech in the equipment is what really sets PPF apart from their competition. Put simply, it is perfectly optimized for both owners and pets alike. The battery in the collar lasts for 2-3 months on a 1-hour charge. They aren't trying to make you buy replacement batteries like other companies do. The power unit for the fence is fitted with anti-lightning measures as well as a battery-backup in case you lose power. The technology used in the collar for correcting the dog is designed to be humane yet effective. We are suckers for our standard poodle puppy, and seeing her receive corrections from the collar did not concern us in the slightest. Do yourself (and your 4-legged best friends) a favor and trust Pittsburgh Pet Fence with this project. You will be happy that you did
- PetStopRyan was amazing! He's competent, friendly, and VERY reasonably priced. I will definitely use him again!
- PITTSBURGH PET FENCE, LLCKudos to Pittsburgh Pet Fence for consistently providing outstanding customer service! Each time I’ve interacted with any member of Pittsburgh Pet Fence team (from my initial install and over a course of 6+ years), my customer experience has been 2nd to none. Over the past two weeks, I contacted Pittsburgh Pet Fence twice. The first time, Candy worked with me over the phone to diagnose and resolve the root cause of the problem over the phone to help me avoid incurring the expense. Earlier this week, I called again. Candy and Ed worked with me via FaceTime to diagnose the problem. Again, they were trying to save me from potentially incurring the unnecessary expense of a home visit and to resolve the problem as quickly as possible. In both recent customer service calls, not only were timely resolution and unnecessary expenses top of mind by Candy and Ed they also responded to my calls in a very timely manner, with a positive attitude and with respect. If your family is like ours, we count on the safety of our dogs everyday from the protection provided by the fence. Therefore, timely service is a must. I could only wish more of my experiences with other service providers were as positive as mine have been with Pittsburgh Pet Fence. Keep up the excellent service Pittsburgh Pet Fence
- PITTSBURGH PET FENCE, LLCI had a great experience with Maurice and PPF as a whole! I called PPF after seeing so many of their signs in my neighborhood & reading up on their online reviews. They were efficient, professional & took the time to explain everything during the training session. 10 out of 10 would recommend
- PITTSBURGH PET FENCE, LLCFabulous overall: great pet fence quality, professional and seamless installation, user friendly interface, top notch training. Our dogs were seriously trained within a day, and they're not the brightest pups. Almost a week out now and they don't even get near the flags. We just had a jogger run by with a barking dog and our crazy lab mix stayed in our yard. INCREDIBLE! Ed and his team were responsive, reliable, and efficient. The entire process - from getting a quote to installing the fence to personalized training - was smooth and professional. And pricing was very fair as well. I would absolutely recommend Pittsburgh Pet Fence to anyone in a heartbeat. Thank you to Ed and your team
- Dog Guard of Greater PittsburghWe are so pleased with the service and professionalism of Gary and his team! Before installation, and the office staff was always courteous and informative. Gary and the installation team worked through rough terrain and installed the fencing on seven acres of our property so our Anatolian Sheperds could have more freedom. The training was easy and Gary walked me through the process so I could reinforce positive behaviors. I highly recommend Dog Guard of Greater Pittsburgh. They are truly exceptional
- Ingelido Fence, LLCIt was excellent! Gary came out for an estimate right away, and as soon as the snow melted a crew was here working. It only took them 2 days! The price was comparable to other companies who gave me quotes, but Gary was much nicer to work with than some of the other men I met. Everybody was really nice. and, most importantly, I felt safe
- Ingelido Fence, LLCGary came out to give me an estimate on 100 ft chain link fence with one gate. After waiting several weeks on other contractors, Gary's bid was accepted. It took about another 4-6 weeks for Gary to start the project. I later found out it was due to the affects of corona virus shutdown and government unemployment effecting his work force. Anyway Gary sent out his son and others to start with the fence. It took two days as expected. They did a WONDERFUL job installing my 4' chain link fence. I am extremely happy and satisfied with his work. Good job Gary under all of the virus mess
- Ingelido Fence, LLCI called a fence company on Angie's List. It was our lucky day that I chose Gary Ingelido. He said he would come out to estimate what needed to be done and wasted no time getting here. He really knew what he was talking about. When he fixed the fence he arrived early and did an outstanding job. His work looks better than the original. We recommended him to a neighbor who needed fence work done. I feel that Gary is fair, dependable, professional and an all around nice guy. As I said I have already recommended him to a neighbor and I would highly recommend Gary to anyone who needs a fence
- PITTSBURGH PET FENCE, LLCThis company is AMAZING! Ed, Candy, and the entire staff were such a pleasure to work with from start to finish! The initial introduction of their fencing, installation, and training far exceeded any and all expectations that we had. It was truly remarkable to see how quickly our puppy was learning their new boundaries. We could not be happier with our decision to go with Pittsburgh Pet Fence and we are so excited to finally give our pup the opportunity to run free, while also remaining safe within our yard. You can tell they all take such pride in their work and it definitely shows in the thorough service that they provide and the level of care that they show towards your animal. If you’re even considering an invisible fence, give them a call, you will NOT be disappointed!

Fencing FAQ
-
How much does it cost to install a fence?
Answer: The average cost to install a fence is $2,600. A variety of factors will impact the overall cost of fencing installation, such as the length of the fence, the materials you choose, and local labor costs. Fencing projects using the lowest cost materials and with lower labor costs can cost as little as $1 to $6 per linear foot, while projects using the highest cost materials and with higher labor costs may be as high as $15 to $45.
-
Do I need a permit to build a fence around a yard?
Answer: Whether you’ll need a permit to build a fence around your yard will depend on your city or county's local codes. Many metropolitan and suburban areas require a permit to install most fencing, but they may not for fences situated behind a house as opposed to in front of it or fences that don’t run within a certain distance of the road. To find out if you’ll need a permit to fence your yard, reach out directly to your local government office.
-
What is the cheapest fence to install?
Answer: The cheapest fencing to install is chain-link fencing. Chain-link fencing is typically cheaper than other fence types because the materials cost less, and installation is generally quicker and easier than other options. Chain-link fencing is affordable, easy to install, and low maintenance. However, it’s usually considered less secure than other options and doesn’t increase resale value as much as fences made of different materials.
-
Is a wood or vinyl fence cheaper?
Answer: Wood fences are generally cheaper than the cost of vinyl fences. While the cost of materials for wood and vinyl fences is usually very similar, the labor cost associated with installing a vinyl fence is higher. Wood fencing is also easier to install than vinyl fencing, making it possible to save money by making wood fence installation a DIY project. It’s also possible to DIY install a vinyl fence.
-
What is the life expectancy of a vinyl fence?
Answer: Vinyl fencing can be expected to last between 10 and 30 years. Vinyl fencing is generally low maintenance, but proper care will ensure it lasts as long as possible. Its long life span and high return on investment make vinyl fencing a popular option for many homeowners.
-
What type of fence adds to the property value?
Answer: Installing quality fencing, no matter the fence type, will generally add value to your property. In general, fences made of longer-lasting, lower-maintenance, and more attractive materials—like wrought-iron, composite, or vinyl—add more value to a property than fences made of lower-cost or less attractive materials, like chain-link. To ensure your fencing adds as much value to your home as possible, be sure it’s properly permitted, approved by your homeowners association (if you have one), and installed properly.
