Our Story
Pet Stop was founded in 1992 by a team of industry pioneers with the most experience and aptitude in the business. The President of Pet Stop, John Purtell, originally founded Invisible Fence® in 1975 before branching off to form Pet Stop.

Will a pet fence damage my yard?
No. Our professionally trained technicians are experts in clean, quick installation. We utilize the best machines on the market to bury wire 3-5" deep (with exceptions for very rough terrain) with minimal to no marks left behind on your yard.
Will it hurt my dog?
Here at Pet Stop, our included complete GentleSteps® Training program utilizes low stress, gentle guidance, and positive reinforcement, done entirely by one of our professional trainers. With the cheapest options on the market, you will be expected to do the majority of the training yourself. This can put unnecessary stress and potentially inflict pain on your dog if you are unsure of what you're doing.
If you are worried about the level that your Pet Stop dog fence is set to, we can provide simple instructions over the phone to make safe adjustments. We want to ensure that you and your dog are as happy as possible. Some other local companies require a full (paid!) service call just to make this easy adjustment!
How long will it take?
After you schedule your free in-home consultation, we will send a technician to complete your install within a week. On the same day, one of our professional trainers will begin training your dog using our signature GentleSteps® training program. With our experienced trainer on the job, your dog will be running free in less than a week after the installation is complete! Our 100% containment guarantee can leave you worry-free about your new invisible dog fence.
If you have any questions or concerns after this process, give us a call and we will do our best to solve your problem at no additional cost over the phone. If the issue can't be easily solved, we have a qualified staff of service technicians available to help.
Do pet fences work on all dogs?
A common question we hear is, "Sure it works, but will it work for my dog?" Our trainers have experiencing dealing with all breeds, shapes, and sizes of dogs. Our pet fencing system even works well for cats and goats! We recommend that your pet be at least 12 weeks of age and well-adjusted to the environment before training begins.
The one exception we make is for aggressive dogs. We will not sell or install a dog fence if your dog is aggressive unless it is to be used in conjunction with a traditional chain-link/wooden fence.
