Owner Joanie Tyler started off as a Pet Behavior Specialist, training dogs in the 1980s and volunteering for the wonderful training program at the Orange County Animal Protection Society. 

Like most trainers, Joanie noticed the occasional missing dog from group classes she taught.  On follow up calls, Joanie was heartbroken at the frequency that non-returning dogs had been hit by cars.  When the Invisible Fence® patent expired in 1991, Joanie investigated alternatives.

In the electronic pet containment field in 1991, there was only Invisible Fencing®, which translated to higher prices and  less competitive service relationships.  Joanie set out to change that and since 1992, Hidden Dog Fence Company has offered the safest underground pet containment systems on the market combined with a commitment to customer service previously unseen in this field.

Hidden Dog Fence Company has changed brands several times, always seeking to bring the industry's best CURRENT containment products to the market.  After a 5 year experience with a China made product, Joanie switched in early 2007 back to American Made products.  Said Joanie:  "Our failure rate on PetSafe® Pro was the highest we have ever experienced.  When I recognized that more than half of the top 20 electronic fence dealers were joining Pet Stop®, an electronic fence brand run by the founder of Invisible Fence® and the most experienced engineers in the electric dog containment industry, I followed with Hidden Dog Fence Company."

Pet Stop® products can be programmed to work with virtually every containment system Hidden Dog Fence has in the field.  This ingenious programming capability combined with a great warranty and trade in program makes Pet Stop® THE safest and most adjustable containment system on the market.

We continue to service, repair and replace every pet containment system we have ever sold, as well as hundreds of clients who initially chose another brand, another installer.
