Freedom Fence: Underground Electronic Dog Fences in Connecticut and New York

Freedom Fence is a family-owned company founded in 1998 that specializes exclusively in the installation of underground electronic dog fence systems. Its service area covers Connecticut and Westchester County, New York, with phone support seven days a week. The company presents itself as a specialist in keeping dogs safely contained within property boundaries without the need for a visible physical fence.

Main Services

Freedom Fence's work is organized into three specific areas:

• Professional installation: design and installation of custom underground electronic fence systems based on the characteristics of the terrain, landscaping, containment goals, and the specific needs of each dog.
• Repairs and technical service: diagnosis and resolution of wire breaks, signal issues, equipment failures, and other problems with already installed fences.
• Fast and next-day installation: depending on location and availability, the company can offer next-day installation for urgent cases, such as dogs that escape or recent moves.

The Work Process

Freedom Fence describes a five-step process that begins with a personalized consultation at the property. A professional walks the terrain with the client and designs a custom boundary, taking into account access points, gardens, pools, and other areas to be excluded. Installation is carried out with specialized equipment that places the underground wire with minimal disruption to the lawn and landscape. The transmitter is then connected and the system is tested to verify signal strength and boundary consistency. The service is completed with professional training for the dog and its family, so that the animal learns to recognize and respect the new safe zone.

How the Underground Fence Works

The system consists of a buried wire that creates a customized boundary around the areas where the dog can roam. A lightweight receiver collar detects the signal when the animal approaches the boundary. It first emits an audible warning tone so the dog has the opportunity to retreat; with repetition, professional guidance, and positive reinforcement, the dog learns to recognize and respect the boundary. Temporary training flags make the boundary visible during the learning period. The company emphasizes that the system is designed to teach, not to confuse, and that the yard remains open and aesthetically unchanged.

Warranty and Support

Freedom Fence states that its installations include a lifetime warranty and local support. The company presents itself as founded by Hal Kessler after his personal experience of his own dog running away, which gave the business a personal character from its beginnings. Among the recognitions it mentions are the Angi Super Service Award, received nine times, and more than 350 five-star reviews from local homeowners.
