Does your dog bolt every time the front door opens?
There is an invisible fix that holds even when a kid leaves the door open. Answer a few quick questions to get a personalized recommendation for your home.
The front door is the most dangerous spot in your home for a door-dashing dog.
The moment it opens, they are out. It does not matter if it is a guest, a delivery, a child, or a door left open for three seconds. A dog with a door dashing habit does not wait for an invitation. They just go.
Yelling, blocking, putting them in another room before every visit. These are workarounds, not solutions. And one lapse is all it takes.
Shields® by Invisible Fence® Brand creates an invisible boundary at your front door that your dog learns to stay behind, even when the door is wide open. No gate in your entryway. No yelling. Just a line your dog does not cross.

Why Door Dashing Is More Dangerous Than Most Owners Realize
Escaping Through the Open Door
A door dashing dog does not need much. Three seconds and an open door is enough. Once they are out, the risks multiply fast: traffic, getting lost, running into other animals, not being able to find their way back. The front door is the single point of failure. Shields® removes it.
Guest Safety at the Door
A large dog rushing a guest the moment the door opens is a real physical risk, especially for elderly visitors, children, or anyone not expecting it. Knocking someone over, jumping up, or bolting past them into the street creates liability and genuine danger. Shields® keeps your dog back so your guests can enter safely.
The Management Trap
Putting the dog in another room before guests arrive. Yelling wait every time the door opens. Briefing every visitor on the protocol. This is not living with a dog. It is managing around one. Shields® ends the workaround so you can simply open your front door without a plan.
Our dog got out three times in one month. Each time we had to chase him down the street. After Shields® was installed at the front door, he stopped rushing it completely. We can open the door for deliveries, guests, anyone, and he just sits back and watches. It changed how we live in our own home.
