Invisible Fence of Greater Portland

Pricing varies with every project. It depends on your lot size, the system type, number of pets, and your property's specific layout. Instead of publishing a ballpark that might not reflect your situation, we provide a custom quote during a free consultation.

For context, traditional fencing in the Portland metro routinely costs $5,000 to $10,000 or more. Invisible Fence® Brand systems come in well under that on a per-quarter-acre basis, and the price covers everything: professional installation, certified training, and local support included.

The Computer Collar® receiver uses an adjustable static correction that's set specifically for your pet's size, breed, and sensitivity level. After training, most dogs respond to the audible warning tone and don't experience the correction at all.

Our Perfect Start Plus™ program was designed in collaboration with animal behaviorists and is rooted in positive reinforcement: praise, gradual boundary introduction, and consistent encouragement. Invisible Fence® Brand is veterinarian-trusted and has safely protected over 3 million pets nationwide.

Yes. Portland's rainy, mild winters are no obstacle for our team. Our installation equipment handles wet, saturated ground cleanly, and our crews are experienced with the conditions this region throws at us year-round.

For underground systems, we trench through damp soil with minimal lawn disruption. If conditions are unusually muddy, we'll stage components and come back to finish once the ground firms up. GPS systems don't require any ground work whatsoever.

Your consultant will factor in seasonal conditions when planning your installation timeline.

Plenty of our installations happen in HOA neighborhoods across Lake Oswego, Beaverton, West Linn, and throughout the metro. Since our underground system is buried out of sight and our GPS system has no visible components at all, there's nothing above ground for an HOA to review.

Your yard looks identical after we leave. If you've been denied approval for a physical fence, Invisible Fence® Brand eliminates the conflict entirely.

We install two outdoor containment systems and will help you determine the right fit during your consultation.

Boundary Plus® Underground System: Wire is buried a few inches below the surface to create a precise signal perimeter. Your pet's Computer Collar® receiver detects the boundary as they approach. This works on virtually any yard size or shape and is compatible with dogs and cats.

GPS Wireless Fence (GPS Flex™ options available): Boundaries are defined by satellite coordinates, with no wire and no trenching. It's the go-to for larger properties, rural acreage, or lots where ground conditions make traditional installation impractical. GPS collars require a minimum neck size of 8".

Most installations are done in a single visit, usually within a few hours. Underground wire is buried with low-impact equipment, and GPS systems don't involve any digging.

You'll need to be home during installation and for each of the three Perfect Start Plus™ training sessions that follow. Our trainer works with you and your pet together. Weekday and Saturday scheduling is available.

Yes. Our training program is built around the individual pet, not a formula. Puppies, seniors, anxious rescues, high-drive working breeds: we've trained them all across the Portland metro. The Computer Collar® offers a broad range of correction levels, and our trainer adjusts the plan in real time based on how your pet responds.

Dogs that have escaped traditional fences often do very well with our system, because the combination of professional training and consistent boundary signal gives them the structure they need.

Rare, but possible, especially with highly prey-driven dogs in the early stages of training. If it happens, the system's correction-free return feature means your pet can re-enter the yard without receiving a correction, which encourages them to come back.

With consistent training, most dogs develop reliable boundary respect within two weeks.

A trained dog's boundary behavior is learned. It doesn't depend entirely on the collar signal. During a power outage, most well-trained pets stay within the area they've been taught to respect.

Boundary Plus Smart® systems can notify your phone if the system goes offline. The Power Cap® battery in the collar lasts roughly three months and has a visual indicator when it's low. Battery and Service Plans handle replacements and system maintenance automatically.

Three in-home sessions with a certified trainer, plus short daily boundary walks on your own, about 10 to 15 minutes, two or three times per day. White training flags along the boundary help your pet visualize the limits and are taken down gradually as they learn.

The method is positive reinforcement from start to finish: clear communication, praise, and repetition.

Yes. Different Rules for Different Pets™ allows you to configure each pet's collar independently with different correction levels, different access zones, all managed on a single system.

Yes. We provide a lightweight collar designed for cats, and training is adapted to suit feline behavior. Multiple pets, including combinations of dogs and cats, can share one system with individualized settings for each.

Yes. Professionally installed premium outdoor systems carry a One-Year Money-Back Performance Guarantee. Equipment warranties are included, and extended or lifetime coverage is available on select components.

Our local team provides ongoing support, system checks, and repairs.

These systems are designed for the long term. Transmitters and collar receivers are durable by design, and properly buried wire lasts many years.

The one recurring cost is the Power Cap® battery, replaced roughly every three months. Battery and Service Plans are available for convenient, scheduled upkeep.

It can happen if a digging or landscaping project cuts into the wire. Fortunately, repairs are usually quick and uncomplicated.

We provide a boundary map after installation so you can share it with contractors. We also suggest calling 811 before any digging as a standard precaution.

We serve pet owners across Greater Portland, the Willamette Valley, and Southwest Washington, including Portland, Vancouver (WA), Salem, Beaverton, Hillsboro, Lake Oswego, Gresham, Tigard, Oregon City, West Linn, Tualatin, Canby, and Clackamas.

Yes. Your transmitter and collar come with you. Invisible Fence® Brand's national dealer network means you can get set up at your new home with fresh boundary wire and retraining through a local dealer wherever you move.

Yes. We install Invisible Fence® boundaries inside existing fences all the time. It stops the digging, jumping, and fence-charging behaviors while leaving the physical fence right where it is.

Our system is built to contain your pet, not to block other animals from entering. There's no physical barrier involved. If you need to protect specific areas from outside animals, Shields® Units or a combination with traditional fencing can help.
