Is your dog getting into the kitchen?
A gate blocks your way. Closing the door is not always an option. Answer a few quick questions to get a personalized recommendation that actually keeps your dog safe.
The kitchen is the most hazardous room in your home for a dog.
Hot burners, sharp knives, toxic ingredients left on the counter during prep. A dog that counter surfs, raids the trash, or bolts in the moment you start cooking is not just a nuisance. It is a genuine safety risk.
A baby gate blocks your way and gets ignored by a determined dog. What actually works is an invisible boundary your dog learns to respect, even when the smells are at their most tempting.
Shields® by Invisible Fence® Brand creates a boundary at the kitchen entrance your dog consistently stays behind, giving you a safe, unobstructed space to cook.

Why the Kitchen Is Different From Every Other Room in Your Home
Hot Surfaces & Sharp Objects
A dog that jumps onto a counter near a hot burner or knocks a knife off the edge is in real danger. Shields® creates a consistent boundary that keeps your dog out of the kitchen entirely, so the risk never gets a chance to become an incident.
Toxic Foods Within Reach
Onions, grapes, xylitol, raw dough, chocolate. During meal prep, these ingredients are on the counter or the floor. A dog that counter surfs or raids the trash when your back is turned could ingest something dangerous before you notice. Shields® removes the opportunity entirely.
Whole-Home Protection
Shields® is part of the Invisible Fence® Brand whole-home system. Pair it with Boundary Plus® outdoor containment and the Doorman™ pet door to create a complete solution inside and out, all configured and supported by your local certified dealer.
Our dog was constantly under our feet while we cooked and got into everything the moment we turned around. After Shields® was installed, she stays in the doorway and watches. We can actually cook dinner without worrying about her anymore.
