Pet Containment Services for Commerce Homeowners
At Pet Containment Services we can assist any dog owner in Commerce to make their yard a safer environment for their dogs by installing underground fence systems in Michigan yards. Each home presents its own set of issues. Neighborhood yards are smaller in some homes in Commerce, and others have wooded areas, lakefront, sloped property, long driveways, gardens, or open acreage.
It is for this reason that your dog fence should not be designed from a simple template. Your yard size, your dog’s breed and temperament, your daily routine and the exact areas in your yard where your pet needs to be protected dictates the design of the boundary. This may be the front yard, back yard, side yard, driveway, garden zones, lake access etc or containment of the entire property.
We strive to make it simple: to teach your dog the safe limit and to make you feel good that your dog can play in the yard without endangering themselves.

Hidden Pet Fence Troubleshooting in Commerce, MI
Does your underground fence system seem to have failed? We can help. Pet Containment Services repairs and services a large number of underground pet containment systems, such as Invisible Fence-style, Pet Stop, PetSafe, Innotek, Dog Guard, and other underground brands.
More often than not, many homeowners believe that the problem is that their whole system is broken when it is actually simply a broken wire, a weak collar battery, a transmitter issue, or incorrect setting. We perform a system check, pinpoint the problem, and offer the best possible solution for fixing it.
If you experience any of these issues, you may need repair:
- Your transmitter is signaling by beeping
- Your collar is not responding
- Your dog is going over the fence line
- There is a dead zone in the system
- The boundary signal is low
- Aeration or digging in the area damaged the wire
- You reside in a house with an older underground fence
- Not certain if the system is still functioning

Pet Fence Wire Break Repair in Ann Arbor
Even a wire of a broken underground fence may close down your whole system. Landscaping, edging, driveway work, utility digging, tree roots, garden projects or the normal movement of the ground over time are often causes of wire breakage in Ann Arbor.
Our wire break repair service assists in finding and repairing damaged underground fence wire to get your system functioning again. When your transmitter is beeping or the fence has suddenly stopped working, then a wire break could be the problem.
Typical indications of a wire break are:
- The system light was altered or switched off
- The collar cannot be triggered around the boundary
- Your dog has started crossing the line
- The fence works in one area but not another
- You recently had yard work done
We may examine your current system, find the damaged part, re-wire it and test the boundary signal on our way out.
Boundary Training for Commerce Dogs
Underground dog fences only work if your dog is aware of where the boundary is. There is no such thing as training being an option. It’s a difference between a dog that respects the fence and a dog that runs through it.
We assist with introducing your dog to the boundary with flags, collar tones, correction settings, repetition and calm direction. Training should be tailored to your dog’s breed, confidence, energy level, age and temperament.
It is important for puppies, rescue dogs, high-energy dogs, Huskies, German Shepherds, Labradors, Doodles, small dogs, multiple dog homes, and dogs that already chase people, cars, deer, squirrels, bikes, boats or other dogs.
A hidden fence is more than just equipment. It is a fully fledged system which relies on the correct layout, operating technology and training. Many homeowners don’t make it because they don’t take the time to get trained.
Fence Layout Updates, Moves, and Reinstalls
A change of home or yard? We have the expertise to reinstall, adjust, expand or reroute underground pet fencing boundaries.
Reinstallation can be helpful if you’ve relocated to a new home, installed a swimming pool, patio, new landscaping, widened your driveway, added a garden, or have a dog that needs to be kept out of certain rooms or areas. It can also be useful if the existing fencing no longer suits the needs of your family.
We do not need to buy a new system but instead review what you currently have and if it can be reused, repaired, expanded or reconfigured.
Why a Buried Pet Fence Works Well for Commerce Properties
For most homes in Commerce, the buried pet fence is a good option since it offers pet containment without altering the yard’s appearance. It can be installed in driveways, gardens, wooded sections, lake front property, pools, patios or odd yard shapes, and offers more space for your dog to move safely.
Many homeowners prefer an underground system over a fence as well. It is suitable for situations such as front yards, backyard, side yards, larger lots and homes with many dogs. This can also be useful in areas where fencing is not allowed in public view, not desired, or not easily put up.
By simply reviewing existing equipment, we can determine if your equipment can be re-used, repaired, expanded, and reconfigured.

Common Questions About Underground Dog Fences in Commerce
What does an underground dog fence cost in Commerce, MI?
The cost is based on yard size, property layout, number of dogs, equipment requirements and if it is a new installation, repair, or reinstallation. Smaller simple yards typically are less expensive than larger or more complicated properties that have wooded sections, lakefront, slopes, long driveways, or multiple boundary zones. In order to get a precise price, the best thing to do is consult for free.
Can you install a hidden dog fence at my Commerce home?
Yes. Dog Owners in Commerce, MI and surrounding areas can use Pet Containment Services for underground dog fence installation. We install the wire, design the fence to surround your property, install the transmitter and collar, put in training flags and assist you with introducing your dog to the system.
Do you fix Invisible Fence-style systems in Commerce?
Yes. We service and repair many of the hidden pet fence systems like Invisible Fence, Pet Stop, PetSafe, Innotek, Dog Guard and many other underground brands of pet fence. We can check the system and suggest the appropriate repair if the transmitter is beeping, if your collar isn’t working or if your dog is trespassing.
Why do underground dog fence wires break?
Landscaping, lawn aeration, edging, gardening, utility work, driveway projects, tree roots, digging, and even being cut incorrectly are common causes for wire to break. When your transmitter starts to beep or the fence stops working, it could be a wire break.
Can a buried dog fence work on large Commerce properties?
Yes. Underground dog fences are available in a variety of different shapes and can be customized to fit the needs of any type of yard, whether it be a small neighborhood yard, a large lot, a wooded property, a lakefront yard or any irregular yard shape. The design should be based on the specific property rather than a circle.
Does an underground dog fence work in Michigan winter weather?
Yes. When properly installed and maintained, underground pet fence systems are designed to work during normal Michigan weather. The system is typically not affected by snow or cold conditions, except in the event of damage to the wire, failure of batteries or equipment issues.
Do you help train dogs after installation?
Support for training is included in the installation process. Your dog must master the boundary with repetition, flag, collar tones, and correction settings. With good training your dog will know where the safe zone is.
Can one underground fence system work for multiple dogs?
Yes. Most pet fence installations underground will accommodate more than one dog and with more receiver collars. Correction settings and training techniques may vary from one dog to another, depending on the size, breed, temperament and behavior of the dog.
Can you adjust the boundary on an existing pet fence?
Yes. We can determine if it is possible to expand, reduce, repair, or reroute the boundary. It can be helpful when you’ve installed landscaping, a swimming pool, a patio or driveway, or if you wish to prevent your dog from entering certain parts of your home.
Should Commerce homeowners choose underground, wireless, or GPS dog fencing?
An underground dog fence is typically the best option for most homes in Commerce, as the perimeter can be configured to fit around the yard. Wireless fences are simpler, but less accurate. GPS fences are good for large open lots, but may not be appropriate for yard properties in all neighborhoods. It’s going to depend on your property and your dog.
