PawprintFrequently Asked Questions

How is Pet Stop different from other companies?

No, other system can match the range of patented, customizable features and expert training offered by Pet Stop. Our dealers provide extensive hands-on training, which, combined with Pet Stop’s highly customizable systems, produce a 99.6% successful containment rating, the highest in the industry.

Founded in 1992, Pet Stop is managed by a team of industry pioneers with the most experience and highest pet aptitude in the business. Only Pet Stop combines our genuine love of pets with in-depth knowledge and commitment to technology to produce the finest, most reliable pet containment system in the world. top

Are your products compatible with other systems?

Yes. Pet Stop is compatible with most other pet containment systems available on the market today. top

Do you offer indoor systems?

Absolutely. Our indoor system is every bit as effective as our outdoor electronic fence system, but operates on a slightly different principle. The indoor unit is designed to customize areas of the home for your dog or cat to avoid, rather than keep contained within; however, the system can be used to limit a pet’s habitat if need be. top

Can I take my system with me if I move?

Absolutely. All you’ll need is wire installation to fence in the boundaries at your new location. top

Do pet fencing systems really work?

With the proper training and professional installation, our fencing system is extremely effective. Our dealers are specialists with years of knowledge, so you can rest assured we have the most advanced pet fence system in the industry. In fact, our customer feedback rates Pet Stop’s containment effectiveness at a very successful 99.6%. top

How is Pet Stop different from the self-installed systems available?

Two critical differences really. The first is the initial training your pet receives from our dealer. Incorrect training makes for disappointing results. The second–and even more important reason–is that not all training is permanent. Over time your pets can become accustomed to their system, which can lead to a breakdown in their controlled boundaries. By combining a wide array of receiver settings with our tried and tested training techniques, Pet Stop has a significant advantage over these other products and can manage behavioral concerns before they develop into bad habits. top

Does the correction hurt?

Like you, we love pets. All pets! The last thing we’d ever want to do is harm them. Our focus is keeping them safe, not hurting them. Clinical research tests have been conducted over the course of many years, the results proving that this type of correction is harmless. Our system is designed with your pet’s comfort in mind, and the correction techniques we utilize work as a "startling effect" rather than inflicting any sort of pain. top

My dog is stubborn, does the system work on all breeds?

Sometimes we might encounter a pet with an especially thick coat of hair that requires trimming for the system to work properly, but we’ve never met a particular breed we couldn’t train effectively. top

Does Pet Stop work with cats?

Absolutely. We’re proud to have one of the most effective systems on the market for cats as well as dogs. Sure, electronic fence systems were originally designed with dogs in mind, but our feline containment program is very successful. top

Can Pet Stop handle multiple pets and containment needs?

Sure we can. We can handle multiple pets with customized areas for each. top

Are receivers programmable to fit animal’s size, and temperament?

We study pets constantly. The Pet Stop pet fence system contains over 5,000 settings tailored to accommodate every kind of pet and personality, so chances are our engineers and programmers have developed a setting designed almost exclusively for your beloved dog or cat. top

How long does the battery last, and where can I get one?

Battery life depends on how frequently your pet challenges the system. In most cases, the battery lasts from three months to a year. The battery light on the collar will blink when batteries are low. top

Are your receivers water-resistant?

Pet Stop receivers are resistant to moisture, so it’s okay to keep it on while bathing your dog, or if they get wet in other ways such as during a sudden rainfall or a swim in the lake. top
