Such a great company who works with compassion and cared for our 6 month old Lacey. A mini Aussie. Every family in need of this service needs to look no further then right here. Great service and awesome pricing. Today Lacey is free to roam our property at her will and not ours. No more tethering or leashing. I can't say enough about Corey. His work is just amazing as he trained our Lacey Girl by showing her the flags and how far she could go before the beeps would go off. She's got this down to a science. We can't thank you enough and we will be passing the word of your wonderful company and service to everyone we know who loves and cares for their dogs as much as we do. Thank you for the many smiles we are all wearing today. Blessings and Peace. Lucinda and Mickey. And Lacey too.

Electronic Pet Fence Installation
The previous owner of our house had electric fence, we bought a dog two months ago. On 10/18/2024 I looked up on Angie.com for a trusted company to assist us with electronic fence. Ideal dog fence contacted me right back. I talked to Brian- the owner, he said they would come and take a look. They will see if any break, can it be fixed. I asked if I should contact the previous owner for manual or more details. We don t have a collar. I sent him a panel on the wall from Dog watch Brian said no need to contact the previous owner, don t worries about the collar. They have been doing this for 20 years. On 10/22/2024 a worker from Ideal Dog fence came to my house. I showed him the panel for electric fence. Firs thing he asked me if I have a collar. I said no and we already told Brian that we don t have it. The worker said no ping of fixing it if there is no collar. And today will be $285 for me to come here I said there is no mentioning about $285! I said this is not right and I should not have to pay today. He said we will give you $100 off, only pay $185 then! They said he can fix it and it will be around $1,000 or more depends on how many breaks. If we want a brand new system, it will be $1,700. I said I need to talk to my husband first. I gave him a check for $185. They haven t cashed the check yet. I am very upset and very disappointed. I feel like I should not have to pay since that was not the agreement that I agreed upon. I was home alone and didn t want to refuse the payment. I hope that Angi will be able to reach out to them and asking for my payment back. I have not place a stop payment on the check. Angie s representative mentioned that if they cashed the check, Angi can request them to pay me back.
Response from Ideal Dog Fences

"This is a cut and dry case. The member requested a service we performed it in a timely fashion and charged her for our time on the property. The member is falsely accusing us not being prompt which is not true, of not being profession which is also not true etc. When I first spoke to her we informed her that we will do our best to resolve the issue in a cost effective way for her considering the circumstances. I also informed the member that worse case scenario a new DOG GUARD system and wire with training would set her back $1775.00 which she said she was fine with. She bought a home 4years ago with an old pet fence transmitter located in her house not knowing the true age of the system and wire in the ground. We tested the box and repaired the wire in multiple spots as well as informed her of the current footprint in which the invisible fence circles her house. The wire was very corroded & oxidized and would not have functioned. We informed her that we could not use what she currently had due to its age (including the outdated transmitter). She seemed dumbfounded that after we hooked up our equipment (pipe horn) perfomed a locate and multiple repairs aside from driving over an 1hour to her house that she had to pay us. We spent close to an hour just sitting and speaking with her on her porch discussing the matter and what we think she should do next and she actually seemed to be on board with installing a new system for $1775 and also mentioned that she has a neighbor that may want a system in which we informed her that maybe we can work out a deal and save you both money. I also dropped that fee from $285 down to $185 to give her a break (had to pay my guy and the cost of fuel). The idea was to simply try and get her current system to work and if not then install a new system. Unfortunately she changed her mind and did not want a new system installed. There is only so much a company can do such as ours. We are a small business and can't afford for our time and energy as well as tools to be used for free."

I have zero regret choosing Ideal Dog Fences. Brian is great at responding to all my questions, and well after I had it installed. This company truly takes pride in what they do as well as follow up to make sure that your pup is getting the proper training which is extremely important for the dog. If you are looking for an electric fence company, I highly recommend Ideal Dog Fences.

We booked Ideal Dog to fix 40 feet of broken wire after some damage due to construction. They were at our house for 1:22 and charged us $370. They didn't leave an invoice and asked for us to pay via Venmo, which my wife obliged. When I contacted them I was informed the charge $275 for the first hour, which in my opinion, is outrageous for the first hour. When I stated this, Brian, the owner, claimed that's what National Grid charges for private site work. I can't believe he would compare his wire and work scope to that of national grid. Ultimately, he made every exco n the book on why he charges so much. He was argumentative and lacked appropriate customer service. For the record, he contracts with DogGuard, the manufacturer of the equipment he uses. I spoke to them and they said $150-$200 is acceptable for an hour of work. He also said $370 for 40' of line seems excessive. We had used Dog Watch out of Bolton before and they were fantastic. We have 2 acres fenced in for $900. This company charged $370 for 40 feet.

We had really great experience with Ideal Dog Fences from the very first time I made contact. Brian, the owner, returned my call immediately and explained the entire process of fence installation. Brian quoted us a good price and he was also flexible in terms of scheduling. He did not rush us to install the fence. Instead he suggested that we wait until the puppy turns 3 months. The installation was performed by Corey, who was very professional and resourceful. We worked together to figure out the best way to run the wires to the garage since the most logical path was blocked by a paver path. Corey showed us how to train our puppy to stay within the fence. In addition Brian immediately called me back to provide additional guidance when we reached out to him. Brian also registered the product warranty with the Dog Guard company saving me the hassle. I am also told that we will get periodic reminders for the battery replacement, which is convenient too. All in all, i would recommend ideal dog fence company to anyone looking for a professional and hassle free experience installing a dog fence for safety of their dog(s).

The person (owner) who put in the fence was very compassionate to dogs. He took his time explaining things and training me. He had somewhere else to go and never rushed. He gave me all the time I needed and said to call if there were any questions. I would highly recommend this company.
