Description of Work: C No Fence installed an dog control fence around the perimeter of our property. The installation was done extremely well by their technician in the morning. The dog trainer came in the afternoon and showed us how to handle our dog relative to the fence. The trainer was outstanding with our dog, and was a complete believer in being kind and gentle to our dog as he became familiar with the fence. I would wholeheartedly recommend this company to anyone.

Description of Work: I emailed the company to inquire about a fence and the owner got back to me right away and was able to give me a quote over the phone. She was very polite and accommodating and was able to get me on the schedule for the next week. She gave me all the options that would work with my yard and gave me her suggestions. The installer, Joel, was very friendly and knowledgable and was able to install the wire within a short period of time. After he finished, the trainer, Kim, was here and ready to train our dog. She was very good with our puppy and taught me a few things as well! They will come back, free of charge, if needed. Although Kim was pretty good at showing our dog the ropes the first time, that I am thinking we won't be needing a return visit. I didn't hear good reviews from neighbors about the other companies, which is why I thought I would give Dogwatch and C No Pet Fence a chance. I am glad I did.

Description of Work: There was a break in our Invisible Fence wire. Called Invisible Fence and they said they could send out someone in about 2 weeks...which was unacceptable. On top of that they charge $99 dollars for the first half hour and prorate the rest. So I called DogWatch and they told me that they could find and repair the break even though it wasn't their brand. They promised a 72 hour turnaround time and were out the next day. They found and repaired the break in 9 minutes and were great to work with and loved the dogs. If you want better service at a much better price this is where to go.

Description of Work: I could not be happier with C No Pet Fence. They were very helpful, responsive, and professional. Did a great job explaining, and breaking it all down for us. The installation went great. They will be training our new puppy in March with the fence, and I am looking forward to working with them. I will be happy to give further information at that time.

not installing till April
Description of Work: have just made initial contact with Cnopet. Very personable and knowledgeable. I chose not to install until end of April i still have a 10 week old puppy and the ground is still too hard. they did offer a service of laying the wire on top and then coming back to install. we did decide because the puppy was so young it would be best to wait. I have been aprevious owner of the electric fence with my previous two dogs, i was in agreement. her resoponse was prompt anmd professional. My neighbor also used her and said they wer very happy with the service. Looking forwared to completion in the spring. I also only need the wire run and box hooked up because i have all i need from previous owner ship of the fence. we previously lived in NC. same fence company

It could not have gone better.
Description of Work: Installed an underground electric pet fence. We checked out a few other pet fence contractors and they all had good reports but C No Pet Fence beat them all quite a bit with their price. They arrived on time, quickly installed the fence in both the front and back yard and were very politie. They patiently taught us how to train our dogs. They were just a pleasure to do business with. I would recommend them to anyone and use them again and again.

Response from DogWatch by C No Pet Fence
We were closed on January 1, 2009, however - we do have a very good phone answering system and track all of our calls on our data base. We checked our files and see that we did not receive any new system requests that week AT ALL (which is normal in the Winter.) Our first (request call) in 2009 was February 7th. I am very sorry that we did not receive your request, we would have been very happy for the opportunity to help you out! Actually, we would have been happy for any work in January! Please give us a call if you ever need any help!

I contacted C No Pet-Fence by phone prior to closing on my new home. They were able to give me a quote for the job right then by accessing a satellite map and seeing the lot. We arranged for them to put the fence in the day after my closing. They arranged for "Julie" to come out and mark all of the electrical and gas lines. It was great to have them come out the day after closing and put in the fence. The trainer came that same afternoon and trained my dog and myself on the system. We couldn't be happier with the results. By working with them before the move it made move-in day much easier since I knew the doors could be open for the movers and that the dog wouldn't run away. Thanks to Angie's List for a great recommendation.

I have found this company to be reliable, professional, and responsive. They have been a joy to work with, and whenever there has been a problem, they have resolved it immediately. I had my fence installed about four years ago, and have been very pleased with it.

Bottom line, you get what you pay for. While the price might be higher than one expects the service and the quality of hardware is awesome. I have a 1.25 acre yard. I called up for an estimate. Was given one over the phone and scheduled the installation. They called the necessary services like Julie and arrived right on time. Rudy did the install and a trainer arrived later in the day to train the dog. She was great and the overall customer service rocked. They both spent the necessary time with me training both the dog and owners. Once service was rendered I they also followed up a few times to check on things. GREAT COMPANY!

WHAT A GREAT COMPANY! SUE, WAS WONDERFUL. WE SPOKE WITH HER VIA THE PHONE, AND SHE ANSWERED ALL OF OUR QUESTIONS IN DETAIL. AFTER CHECKING OUT SEVERAL OTHER COMPANIES, WE DECIDED THAT C NO FENCE WAS BY FAR THE BEST PRODUCT OUT THERE FOR OUR NEEDS. THE COMPANY CAME OUT ON THE DESIGNATED DAY, ARRIVING ON TIME. THE GENTLEMAN WHO PUT IN THE EQUIPMENT WAS COURTEOUS, FRIENDLY, AND PROFESSIONAL. BRUCE CAME OUT TO TRAIN MY HUSBAND AND I IN HOW TO MOST EFFECTIVELY USE THE SYSTEM. HE WAS ALSO WONDERFUL TO WORK WITH! VERY FRIENDLY, AND KNOWLEDGEABLE. WE LEARNED A LOT, AND OUR DOGS JUST LOVED HIM! SO FAR WE HAVE HAD ZERO PROBLEMS WITH ANY PART OF THE PROGRAM. WE FOLLOWED THE STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS, AND OUR RHODESIAN RIDGEBACKS LEARNED VERY QUICKLY! IN THE BEGINNING I WAS SKEPTICAL ABOUT IT KEEPING THE DOGS IN, ESPECIALLY IF DEER AND COYOTES WERE AROUND. OUR DOGS HAVE YET TO STRAY PAST THE CONTAINMENT FIELD! WE HAVE BEEN MOST IMPRESSED, AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY!
Description of Work: THE COMPANY INSTALLED AN OUTDOOR CONTAINMENT SYSTEM FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 ACRE. THIS INCLUDES ALMOST THE FULL BACK YARD, AND THE FRONT YARD AS WELL. WE ALSO PURCHASED AN ADDITIONAL RECEIVER AS WE HAVE TWO DOGS, AND 2 ADDITIONAL BATTERIES. THE PRICE ABOVE ALSO INCLUDES THE ONE ON ONE TRAINING AS TO HOW TO EFFECTIVELY USE THE SYSTEM.

THE INSTALLERS WERE VERY PLEASANT AND LISTENED TO ME WHEN I DESCRIBED MY PARTICULAR PROBLEM. I WALKED AROUND THE YARD WITH THEM TO EXPLAIN WHAT I WANTED SINCE MY NEEDS WERE VERY OUT OF THE ORDINARY. THE OWNER BRUCE THEN CAME IN AND DID AN INSTRUCTION WITH THE DOGS. HE WAS VERY GOOD AND PATIENT WITH THEM AND ALSO WITH ME. I CERTAINLY WOULD RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY TO ANYONE REQUIRING THIS KIND OF SERVICE. IF THERE WAS A CRITICISM TO BE MADE, PERHAPS BRUCE COULD SLOW DOWN SOME WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS AND EXPLANATIONS. I'M SURE THIS IS HARD TO DO WHEN YOU PUT IN HUNDREDS OF THESE FENCES AND THE EXPLANATION BECOMES SECOND NATURE. BUT, ON THE OTHER HAND, WHEN I ASKED HIM TO EITHER GO OVER IT AGAIN OR ELABORATE, HE HAD NO PROBLEM OBLIGING ME.

THE KEY TO SUCCESSFUL INVISIBLE FENCING IS TRAINING THE DOG TO UNDERSTAND THE BOUNDARIES. C NO DID A GREAT JOB WITH THE DOG AND US. OUR DOG HAS A STRONG PREY DRIVE - THEY UNDERSTOOD HER BREED CHARACTERISTICS AND THEY CAME OVER SEVERAL TIMES TO HELP US IN THE INITIAL STAGES.
