How to Put in an Underground Dog Fence

PetSafe is not an installation company, it is a manufacturer, so this illustration was more for a do it yourself dog fence installation. Yes, a bit sloppy, but a good quick illustration of what it takes to put one in. I think the time estimate on using the trencher is a bit hopeful as well, I would expect actual trencher use time for 1000 feet of wire to be closer to a couple of hours plus time to and from the rental place, this includes loading up the wire, understanding how to use it and the inevitable issue or two while going around the yard, we usually tell customers to schedule 1/2 a day. I would also warn viewers that there is much more involved in training than shown if you want to be successful, see more at http://www.ezdogfences.com/pag....

Yes, the flags were not setup in a straight line and could have been a bit closer together and the trencher was a bit old, however, it was a good illustration of what is needed to install a dog fence yourself.
PetSafe is actually a manufacturer and not an installer, so this was just to show you how the system can be installed. However, if Ron and his wife had hired a professional installation company, they would have paid at least $1500 and probably closer to $2500 depending on location to have the system installed.

By doing it yourself and renting a trencher and masonry saw, you can install one yourself for less than $400. We sell them at www.ezdogfences.com.

As for the commenter that wants Ron to fully enclose his yard with a fence, that may not be an option, some neighborhoods don't allow them.

it is absolutely uncalled for to have a political commercial before one of these videos.

Please don't dig ANY depth with power equipment without first having utility lines located! It's free, and the cost of not doing so... well your dog may be at the funeral. 'Nuf said?

I think it is crap...you move dogs from a stinking 22nd floor apt. and they finally get to enjoy being dogs! Then, instead of building a fence they get the joy of being
shocked into submission! Shame on you... build a damn fence and take off the
shock collars. Boo to you and your wife on caring for your dogs.

What a horrible company to install this and to use for lowes. First off you make the customer get the saw to cut across the driveway is ridiculas, why wouldnt youhave your own??? and second the way or how you put in the flags staggered like this can confuse the dog its has to be in a straight line so the dog knows the boundry while training! and 3rd you should use pvc pipe where the twisted wire goes up into the house to protect it! This is not a good how too if you as me! Plus thats a old machine and doesnt have a reverse blade as they do now, much better with reverse spinning blade!
