Trusted Invisible Dog Fence Experts in Oakdale, PA
America's Most Safe & Effective Dog Containment at an Affordable Price
Our invisible dog fence system allows your dog to learn fast while experiencing less stress and anxiety.
Why Choose Our System for Your Dog’s Safety?
We Provide Blunt-Style Stimulation TechnologyBlunt Stimulation refers to a wide pulse stimulation technique that generates a muscle reflex response in dogs, facilitating a more straightforward and less stressful training experience for your pets. In contrast, sharp stimulation describes a narrow pulse stimulation that results in a more pronounced jerking reaction, which is common in many traditional containment systems. This sharp stimulation can lead to significantly higher stress levels during the initial training phases compared to blunt stimulation. For a humane electronic containment solution that prioritizes your dog's comfort and minimizes any discomfort, rely on the advanced blunt stimulation technology from Pittsburgh Pet Fence.

30 Levels of User Adjustable StimulationUnlike some competitors, you won’t need to schedule a paid appointment or wait for a technician to adjust your collar’s stimulation level. We don’t use magnetic stick gimmicks for adjustments either. Our user-friendly systems allow you to easily change the correction level for each collar individually, with settings tailored for Small, Medium, and Large dogs and 10 adjustable levels. This not only saves you time and money but also avoids the limitations of older systems that only allow changes at the transmitter level, ensuring each dog receives the appropriate correction.

Reliable, Underground Wired Dog Fence TechnologyAt Pittsburgh Pet Fence, we utilize the highest quality dog fencing wire in the invisible fence industry. Our experience has shown that the wire is a crucial element of your installation, which is why we exclusively use Heavy Gauge High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (HMWPE) Pet Fencing Wire. This wire is triple insulated, capable of direct burial in your yard, and abrasion-resistant, ensuring it lasts for many years—likely even longer than you or I. Additionally, our custom-made wire features our company name, phone number, and date stamp printed every few inches for easy identification and quality assurance.

Unique and Patented Run-Through Prevention
Our systems are equipped with a unique and patented "Run-Through Prevention" feature that automatically raises the stimulation level if your dog attempts to cross more than one-third of the way into their pet fencing field. This means your dog cannot escape without experiencing a stronger correction, effectively discouraging them from trying to leave the boundary. In our experience, we've seen instances where dogs repeatedly bypass competitors’ wireless systems. However, after switching to ours, these dogs were safely contained thanks to the “Run-Through Prevention” feature.
Built-In Backup Battery for Continuous Protection
Pittsburgh Pet Fence dog fence systems come equipped with a built-in battery backup to ensure your pet remains secure during power outages. You won’t have to worry about your dog escaping when the electricity goes out; our system can operate for approximately 30 hours on six standard AA batteries. It also continuously monitors the backup batteries and will notify you when they need replacement. In contrast, many competitors charge up to $129.95 for a separate battery backup that requires additional installation and unsightly wiring to connect to the transmitter. We include this feature as part of our installations for your convenience.
Rechargeable, Waterproof and Chew Proof Dog Collars
Waterproof and Shock Resistant CollarsWhen it comes to durability and reliability, our collar receivers are in a league of their own. Designed with advanced packaging technology, they offer impressive waterproofing capabilities, able to withstand depths of up to 500 feet. Additionally, these collars are shock resistant, enduring forces of up to 5000 G, making them the toughest dog fence collars on the market. You can count on our collar receivers to provide years of dependable use for your furry friends.
In contrast, many battery-operated collars often feature openings that limit their protection, rendering them water-resistant at best. This means they aren’t truly waterproof, which can be a concern for adventurous dogs who love to explore. With our collars, you can have peace of mind knowing they are built to handle whatever your dog can dish out! |

Chew Proof CollarsWhen it comes to quality, our collar receivers stand out from the competition. We take pride in using a higher-grade plastic that makes our Collar/Receivers 100% chew-proof. This means that even the most enthusiastic chewers won’t be able to damage them. In fact, we’re so confident in their durability that we offer a lifetime warranty against chewing! (Just keep in mind that this warranty does not cover the Lupine nylon strap that comes with the receiver.) With our collars, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing they’re built to last, even in the toughest conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Our Dog Fence System
How long does it take to train a dog on your system?
On average, our simple training protocol requires two 10 minute sessions a day per dog for approximately 3 - 10 days. Some dogs learn within just a few days.
Will your stimulation hurt my dog?
No. Proper use of electronic fence technology is very important. Low level stimulation has a calming effect while high levels of stimulation can overwhelm a dog and should only be used in emergency situations. Our BLUNT Stimulation is similar to a medical device called a Muscle Stimulator or Muscle Contractor used by Doctors to re-educate muscles, relieve muscle spasms, increase range of motion, prevent muscle atrophy, and treat conditions resulting from a stroke. It leaves no marks or residual pain and promotes compliance through muscle control of the dog's neck. This type of Blunt Stimulation is much more effective and causes much less stress to the dog during the learning process than traditional narrow pulse or sharp stimulations. Beware of imported shock collar systems that use high shocking circuitry and may cause your dog's neck to jerk excessively and scare your dog and damage his/her psyche.
When your dog walks past their new boundary, our systems deliver a mild gentle blunt stimulation. This mild correction your dog feels is designed to be undesirable so your dog will learn to avoid it, yet is totally harmless and humane. Our systems give the dog an Audible Alert BEFORE a correction is received. Your dog will quickly associate the audible alarm with impending discomfort, so he or she will soon understand where the boundaries are. In summary, the correction that your dog may occasionally receive will startle your dog but not hurt them in any way.

How old should my dog be before using your system?
We have had tremendous amounts of success introducing dogs as young as 3 - 4 months to our system. This can be discussed during the initial consultation to make sure we consider the specific circumstances to determine what is best for your dog.
How does your company compare to Invisible Fence®?
First, Pittsburgh Pet Fence has a local office here in Pittsburgh, unlike Invisible Fence, whose parent company, Radio Systems Corporation, recently closed all local offices nationwide. This has made service inconvenient for Pittsburgh customers who need support with their systems.
Additionally, our receivers are user-adjustable, allowing customers to change stimulation levels on their own. Invisible Fence customers, however, lack this flexibility—they must either send their equipment to Knoxville, TN, incurring shipping costs and waiting 7-10 days, or pay $183 for a technician from the Knoxville office to come to their home. Many former Invisible Fence customers share their frustrations with us about these service challenges.
We are a local, independent dog containment company servicing the Greater Pittsburgh area. We service all brands of electronic pet fencing in the Greater Pittsburgh area, including Invisible Fence®. The most notable difference is that we use a rechargeable collar with a limited lifetime warranty which saves our customers a lot of money. This fact alone can save you $85.00 per dog per year ($1,020 for 12 years or $1,275 for 15 years). We are the only company to offer the patented "Run Through Prevention" feature. We believe we are the best installers in the area. We know this because we fix a lot of our competitors’ systems and we notice the inferior installations they do. We are called upon to fix a lot of different systems due to wire breaks, etc. It is rare we receive a call to fix our own as our installations are hardened to prevent common wire breaks.

Do you offer some sort of Financing or Payment Plans?
Yes, we offer Zero % 12-month financing via Dollar Bank. Pittsburgh Pet Fence refers its customers to the following quality lender for their financing. We prefer to help out another local company by supporting Dollar Bank which is headquartered right here in Pittsburgh.
