Q:  Is Illinois Pet Fence associated with Invisible Fence®, Petsafe®, PetSafe® Pro, Radio Fence®, Dogwatch®,  Pet Stop®, DogGuard®  or ANY other pet fence brand?

IPF can sell and or service all brands of pet containment as an independent contractor, including product upgrades, exchanges, trade-ins and replacements.  Our independence will save you money.

Q: How old or big must my pet be to be trained to the fence?

A: First of all, your pet should be well adjusted to the home environment before you start training. We recommend that your pet be at least ten weeks old, but there are no minimum or maximum size limitations.

Q: How long will it take to train my dog to the fence?

 A: Most dogs are trained in about six days. Our gentle training drastically reduces the duration of training and is more humane than competitors methods.

Q: Will the correction hurt my pet?

A: The correction is safe, harmless and humane. It is just effective enough to STARTLE the dog. The correction produces less energy than that produced by a static shock from carpeting.

Q:  Can I use an underground dog fence for my aggressive dog?

A: No.  We will not sell or install an electric dog fence for an aggressive dog. The only exception is when our product supports a pre-existing wooden or chainlink fence.  Use of corrections with aggressive dogs is not recommended, instead, we suggest you call your vet for a training recommendation.

Q: When do the batteries need to be replaced in the receiver?

 A: This will vary depending on how often your dog tests the boundary.  There is a low battery indicator light on the collar that will alert you when the batteries are low so you can change or recharge the batteries before they expire.
