Installing the Innotek invisible fence supplied by Dog Fence DIY was relatively simple using the instructions supplied on your website and the instructions supplied with the kit. I rented a cable trencher (worth the rental fee in time saved) from a local rental shop which made laying the cable fast and easy. The only problem I encountered was unreeling the cable from the supplied spools. About midway through unreeling the wire off the spool, it snagged and broke the wire. I restarted the trenching and with a watchful eye on the spool, I avoided several more potential snags and resultant wire breaking. I buried all the single wire first, and then tested it with the twisted wire before burying it too.

My layout was a full perimeter around the house which meant crossing a sidewalk and driveway. Your suggestions of deepening a relief groove in the concrete worked fine with a concrete saw blade installed in my circular saw. Tunneling under the driveway with a pipe didn’t seem very practical. I cut deeper at the ends to recess the wire deep enough so my lawn edger wouldn’t cut the wire inadvertently. Caulk over the top keeps the wire in place and hides it well.

Overall the installation took me about 6 hours (over two days) with about half the time spent doing the final hand burial of the twisted wire near the garage and installing the control module and twisted wire inside the garage. I used a small diameter PVC pipe and fitting to conceal and protect the entry of the twisted wire into the garage.

I would recommend your website instructions to anyone willing to spend some time installing the system themselves. Like any other DIY project you get the satisfaction of a job well done along with saving some money. Of course having experienced instructions helps!

DIY provided me with the knowledge, materials and customer service necessary to design and install my invisible fence system for a fraction of the cost of a professional installation.

I am very pleased with my experience purchasing from DogFenceDIY.com. I originally ordered and received a wireless containment system and although it was much easier to set up then a wired system we were not happy with the results. The system was very inconsistent in giving corrections, so we were not able to train our dog. At one point the dog had spotted a flag, was maintaining a good distance from it, and a correction was still given and continued even when we ran toward the house and the base unit. At that point we gave up on the wireless system and had no problem returning it and getting a refund.

Because of this we purchased our Innotek system from DogFenceDIY. The system was easy to set up as on our property since we only had to bury the wire in a few places. Most of the over a thousand feet of wire is simply laid on the ground through the woods that surround our home. The installation and training manual was very helpful. Our dog is now completely trained and we are very pleased with the results.

We are pleased with our purchase. Questions we had about the product beforehand were resolved quickly and effectively. The documentation on installation was concise and easy to follow as was the training documentation. We had no problems with the install nor the training.

We've had the system installed about 3 months now and our 8 month lab hasn't breached the security line yet. And with the amount of chewing and digging this dog does, that's good news for the neighbors.

Thanks for your services.

I would definitely recommend dog fence DIY. Their website is full of useful information, with both positive and negative evaluation of products. My WiFi system shipped rapidly and functions well.

We had some difficulty training our Wheaton terrier puppy, who became petrified of going outside after the WiFi was installed. The expert at dogfence DIY offered helpful and constructive advice on this specific issue, which was greatly appreciated!
