I’m with Dog Guard Ohio for about three years. Can’t say enough good things about this company. When they installed this invisible fence, it was fast, less expensive compared to other companies, and easy to accommodate my first dog Riley to the fence. Recently I got another puppy Teddy. Sarah Dupert was amazing with helping me to train my little scared puppy.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My Molly has been a Dog Guard customer for most of her 8 + years. The fence has been a blessing to allow her to run free all this time, without me beside her, The fence allows me to be free also of walking her at my age. Thanks to the Dog Guard group! Always available for repairs or questions!

The entire process was super simple. We loved that they are a small local company and we can call or text them directly for any questions or battery orders if needed. All around amazing service!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I have used Dog Guard of Ohio not once, or twice, but three times! That is a huge testimony by itself! Back when I lived in Avon and was looking for an invisible fence solution, I compared Dog Guard to all the others and they came out on top for pricing and customer care!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Rte #c43 has claimed the lives of two of our beloved dogs. Thanks to Dog Guard, our dog is now MUCH less likely to stray from our yard and run up to this dangerous road. The ground wire was installed quickly and efficiently, giving Bennett plenty of space to run and play.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Dog Guard of Ohio has been exceptional to work with from the quote made by Chelsea to the speedy installation and training by Sarah. The Dog Guard installer Sarah was awesome. She installed the fence with no yard damage. Thank You to the whole Dog Guard of Ohio team for allowing Stella to roam the whole yard.

So thankful we used this great company to put in our invisible fence. They have excellent customer service and support anytime you need them or have a question. Not only did they do a great install on our property but they take the time to teach humans and train our pets.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Dog Guard crew are great! So friendly and knowledgeable! They installed our initial system and helped us train our Husky, Sage, and the system worked beautifully… even if we forgot to put the collar on before we let her out! 😜 We now have a new puppy, Cali, and have had Patrick come out to re-install flags and help us train her. He was very professional and personable!

Dog Guard came strongly recommended. I was sold after one conversation with Heather. She knows her product. They were understanding and patient with our needs and got the ball rolling in no time. Chelsea was fantastic to train with and knew how to work with dogs coming from abuse in their past.
