Are there areas of your yard your dog should stay out of?
Whether it is a safety hazard or just a muddy corner, there is a solution that holds without a fence. Answer a few quick questions to get a personalized recommendation for your property.
Your yard has more hazards than your dog can assess on their own.
Roads and driveways. Fire pits and outdoor structures. Retaining wall drop-offs. And the mud zone that turns into a full bath every time it rains. Your dog does not know which parts of your property are safe and which are not. They just explore.
You cannot watch them every second. Boundary Plus® keeps your dog safely within your property. Outdoor Shields® Plus creates additional exclusion zones around specific hazards or problem areas within it. Together they give your dog the freedom to enjoy the yard while keeping them away from every spot they should not be.
Both systems are configured and trained by a certified Invisible Fence® Brand professional. Your dealer designs the layout around your specific property and the hazards that matter most to you.
Boundary Plus® and Outdoor Shields® Plus Outshine Physical Barriers for Outdoor Safety
How They Compare
| Physical Fencing & Barriers
| Boundary Plus® + Outdoor Shields® Plus |
|---|---|---|
How It Works | ||
Fixed physical perimeter around the yard or hazard | Custom containment boundary plus targeted exclusion zones within the yard | |
Flexibility | ||
Fixed perimeter cannot adapt as your yard or needs change | Zones can be added, adjusted, or moved as your property evolves | |
Hazard Coverage | ||
A fence around the yard does not protect against hazards within it | Outdoor Shields® Plus creates targeted exclusion zones around fire pits, sheds, mud zones, and more | |
Behavior Change | ||
Does not address the underlying behavior | Trains a reliable, lasting response to every boundary | |
Views & Aesthetics | ||
Visible fencing blocks views and interrupts landscaping | No physical structure visible. Outdoor Shields® Plus looks like a natural garden rock. | |
Installation | ||
Fencing is expensive, permanent, and limited by terrain and HOA rules | Professional setup by a certified dealer. Works on any terrain with no HOA conflicts. | |
Best For | ||
Properties with a simple perimeter and no internal hazards | Properties with multiple hazard zones, mud areas, or specific spots the dog should not access | |
One System Covers Every Hazard in Your Yard
Roads, Driveways & Drop-offs
A dog that wanders toward the road, runs into the driveway as a car backs out, or approaches a retaining wall drop-off is in real danger. Boundary Plus® keeps your dog safely within your property so the road and driveway are never in play, even when you are not watching.
Fire Pits & Outdoor Structures
Fire pits, sheds with chemical storage, outdoor grills, and compost bins all pose hazards that a dog cannot recognize. Outdoor Shields® Plus creates a targeted exclusion zone around any structure or area within your yard that you want to keep off limits, regardless of whether it is near the boundary.
Mud Zones & Problem Areas
Not every off-limits area is a safety hazard. In rainy season, certain parts of the yard turn into a full bath every time your dog visits. Outdoor Shields® Plus keeps your dog out of known mud zones, wet garden beds, or any area that consistently causes a mess, without blocking them from the rest of the yard.
We have a fire pit, a steep drop at the back of the yard, and a corner that turns into a swamp every winter. We now have Boundary Plus® keeping our dogs in the yard and Outdoor Shields® Plus units around the fire pit and the mud corner. The yard finally works for all of us.
