Lance is so professional, and has a genuine love for what he does, as well as for his clients - human and four-legged. The fence was installed with no cosmetic damage to the outside or inside of our home. He arrived on time for each appointment, and did his work quickly and thoroughly. The fence and the indoor transmitters work perfectly, and our two little dogs love their newfound freedom. Lance was prompt, friendly and took the time to understand our needs and to get to know the dogs as well. He also worked with both dogs for an hour after the fence was installed, and they were trained very quickly.
Description of Work: Installed in-ground electric fencing around perimeter of yard, and in two locations inside the home. Provided all materials, labor and dog training.

Lance truly loves & understands dogs, that's why his service is exceptional. He can recommend the most cost saving method to contain your dog while understanding where you want your pet to be. His service is prompt, thoughtful & very reasonably priced. His love of dogs is obvious.
Description of Work: Lance re-worked my hidden dog fence to my specifications after I was very disappointed with another (large) company's installation. He also provided exceptional service.

Great! I love working with Lance. He was great with my pup and very thorough on his instructions regarding the next steps I need to follow. Lance installed my fence last year and also trained another dog of ours. She is doing great and really knows when not to cross the invisible fence. I have not had any trouble with it. On this visit Lance provided me with a collar sized for my pup and set up the flags along the perimeter. He was prompt and as always very professional, courteous and personable. I recommend him to anyone who is interested in installing an invisible fence and wants to work with someone that really knows how to interact with dogs.

I had no experience with this type of system and a lot of questions. Lance was wonderful about responding to my emails and even spent time with me on the phone (even though he offers on site training) I realized in speaking with him that it would be well worth the time and money to have him to the house to train my dog. Lance was fantastic and my dog loved him! As in all the other reviews, he took extra time and care with my dog and stayed much longer than the hour he scheduled. Lance is a super friendly guy who clearly loves dogs and has a great respect for them. I highly recommend his fencing system above all others and also the services you can find on his website. I doubt you can find a better installer and/or trainer in Columbus.
Description of Work: Lance provided a receiver, new battery, piezo (alarm) and flags for a system we "inherited" when we moved into our house. I found Lance on Craig's List and he shipped the package immediately after I paid. He flagged my property, checked my wires and made several repairs. He also left me stakes for the yard and a nice neat coil of wire that he cut and repaired.

OUTSTANDING experience. Lance trained our first dog using an invisible fence/or underground pet containment system and we were so impressed with his method and demeanor. We knew we needed him again when it was time to train our new puppy. I'm so thankful for ANGIE'S LIST because I was able to see through my membership that he had started his own business and was thrilled to be able to have him back. He is very easy to work with, truly gifted with working with pets and seems to love what he does. His prices were SO much more reasonable than what I had paid in the past and he did not try to over sell me more sessions than I really needed. Without hesitation I would recommend him to anyone who needs pet containment, training or simply has cut their line during landscaping/mowing because he is the best! Both my pets and I thank Angie's List for ease in finding him.
Description of Work: Trained new puppy to stay within boundaries of invisible fence/containment system, new pet collar device and two designer collars (selection was on web site), flagged yard, rerouted existing fence and made line repair.

Lance was a true animal lover, took extra time with my 2 dogs. It seemed like he had more passion for the dogs than he did for the sale. He has been out 2 times for a total of 5 hours. I was very skeptical at first, but by the time Lance was finished with the install and the training, I am extremely happy.

I called Lance fencing on a Sunday afternoon and he returned my call, within the hour which was truly a pleasant surprise. Lance was really a very nice guy. He interacted well with my dog an was happy to walk the property line with me so that he could see what I wanted. Clearly he had the best price. $850 [with his Angie's coupon it would have been $800 for one acre, which was more than I needed.] His bid was $200 cheaper than the company I eventually went with. My personal reasons for going with another company had nothing to do with Lance - for my particular situation the collar product they offered fit my situation better. Moreover, he was very professional and pitched his product with knowledge and didn't resort to making negative comments about his competitors. Overall he was great. If I had to do it over again, I would have gone with him.
Description of Work: I wanted to get several estimates for an invisible fence around my property. Lance's fencing was one of the company's I called. I have a half acre and wanted the dog to have access to the entire yard and not just the backyard or not just tethered to a 20 foot cord.

PRICE! KNOWLEDGE! SERVICE! HONESTY! I received a couple quotes for this project and took my time to research the project. I have no doubts this was the best decision. If you are looking for a company to install a pet fence, look no further. I would not even waste my time getting other quotes. I can tell you Lance has the best price, the most knowledge, the best service and is very reliable. Would recommend to anyone.

I couldn't be happier! Lance was an absolute joy to work with. He arrived when he said he would, worked hard all day, spent an hour with me and the dog and still had a smile on his face when he left that afternoon. The quality of his work is first rate! I could not even tell where he had dug up the yard to put in the wiring. He was very meticulous in everything he did. Once the fence was installed, we brought the dog out into the yard. Lance worked with me and the kids showing us how to work with our dog to acclimate him to the flags/fence. I had three days to work with the dog before Lance's second training session. This time he brought his dog along. Our dog received only one little correction and although he was tempted, he did not leave the boundaries. I am so very impressed with how well the fence and the training have gone! I would highly recommend Lance's Fencing to anyone who needs an invisible fence!
Description of Work: Lance first came to our home 5 years ago when we adopted a 5-month old puppy. He installed an invisible fence and worked with me and the puppy so that we could continue the training successfully. Two years later, Lance came back to our home to fit a new puppy with a collar, and to leave new flags so that we could train the new puppy. We have been very pleased with the invisible fence until a week ago when our younger dog started crossing over the line and challenging passing dogs. I immediately called Lance; he came over the very same day. He checked the collar to ensure it was in proper working condition (it was) and to ensure it was fitted properly (it had worked its way loose). Lance spent an hour and a half working with the dog to be sure he understood where the boundaries were. It has been a week since Lance's visit. The dog has not left the yard and has redeveloped his respect of the boundaries. I cannot thank Lance enough for understanding the need for immediate attention and for caring enough to come right away. It is not often that you meet someone who is as passionate about what he does as Lance is. When you hire Lance to install an invisible fence for you, you get much much more than that. You get someone who understands how much your dog means to you, and your dog gets a friend for life. I would highly recommend that you contact Lance's Hidden Fencing before you contact someone else for your invisible fencing needs. You will not regret it.

Lance was wonderful to work with. He showed up on time for every appointment. Our first appointment was to review our options for systems and to discuss the steps involved as well as mark out where we wanted the fence located. Lance provided many suggestions as to the fence location. We selected a system, Lance arranged to have underground utilities marked and then he installed the fence and system. After the installation was complete, we had our first training session. Lance is very patient and does a great job of explaining what he is doing and why. He came back a week later for the 2nd training session. It is evident he loves dogs and he is committed to high customer satisfaction. Lance prices his system in a package deal for up to 1 acre. This was great for us because we have a large lot so we knew exactly what our costs would be up front. There were no surprises or added costs.
Description of Work: Installed electrical fence on our property and provided training for our dog and us on the fence.

Wonderful! Lance was very knowledgeable about both the products he offers and in dog training skills. He made sure we knew we could contact him at any time with questions, and was very patient and thorough with our dogs (and us!) when he was here. And, on an ongoing basis, he sends reminder postcards every 6 months to make sure we change collar batteries. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone!
Description of Work: Lance installed an electric fence around both front and back yards and then, trained both us and our dog on its use. On the first visit, he did the ground installation and set up the little "alert" flags around the yard's perimeter. He then came back a couple of additional times over a two week training period.

Lance came and gave us an estimate and thoroughly explained how the fence works and how to acclimate the dog to the fence and the collar. We agreed on a price and set an installation date. He arrived as scheduled and completed the installation in one day as promised. Part of the package included a 2nd day of training. He showed up as planned and worked with Waldo to help him understand. After several weeks the fence has performed as promised and we are very pleased. We have just acquired a puppy and will buy a collar from Lance and hire him to train the pup when the is old enough to learn the process.
Description of Work: Lance buried the wire for the fence, installed the control box, put collar on our dog Waldo and worked with Waldo to get him acclimated to the fence and collar. He returned to give Waldo additional training. Lance was very careful when near buried utilities, where necessary made inconspicuous cuts in the driveway and neatly filled them after installing the wire. His equipment cut the sod smoothly and left just a trace where he had buried the wire.

Although I have to admit that it seemed a bit steep for a fence, I do not regret my purchase. Along with being professional, he was very personable and great with our dogs. During the second training session he brought his own dog with him to help with training and distractions. His dog was very well behaved. Overall, I have no complaints. I may call him again for additional help with my second dog because she was sick at the time of the initial training! And just to clarify, there is an extra charge for an additional dog, however, Lance provided us with options.
Description of Work: I called Lance's Fencing to obtain a quote on installing an invisible fence around my property (.4 acres) for two dogs. Upon agreeing on the cost of installation, collars, type of fencing, and training, it came out to about $1100. Lance came to my home three times; initial meeting, installation and first training, and follow-up training. Prior to installing day, he contacted the city to check on utility lines. He then installed the cable along the perimeter of the propriety, drilled a hole to run the cable from the garage (sensor box) to the rest of the property, provided us with a an explanation of how the system works and helped with training on two separate occasions. He will be returning to seal the cables on my driveway/walkway.

Lance is GREAT! He has supplied us with collars, batteries and, most importantly, training our two dogs and training us. He is so effective at training the dogs to the fence in a very caring and humane way and thoroughly explains to you how to reinforce the training. Last spring, he trained our 9-year-old boxer when we moved to the house with the invisible fence. This week, he trained our 9-month-old shepherd puppy. The two dogs are very different and Lance tailored his approach to effectively train each dog. Watching Lance work, it's obvious he loves dogs and loves what he does. He is very responsive when I have called, shows up when he says he will, spends as much time as is required to complete the job and his prices for equipment are better than other companies. I could not recommend him more completely!

This is by far the best company that I have ever worked with. Lance was super responsive to phone calls and emails. He scheduled us for an estimate the day after I contacted him and he was able to install the fence the very next day. He was wonderful with our three dogs. They immediately warmed up to him as if they had known him their whole lives. The product that he sells is great, but the training makes all of the difference. Don't be fooled by other companies where you might be just a number. With Lance, everything is personal and he makes you feel like you are his top priority. Way to go Lance!

Lance did a fantastic job. He really educated us on training techniques and dog behaviors. He was prompt, realistic, and delivered what was promised. He followed up with us on our satisfaction level after the training and offered to answer any questions or tweak our technique if needed. We didn't have any problems so no tweaking was needed. He did a great job!!! He was a delight to work with.
Description of Work: Lance trained our two dogs on understanding their boundaries in our yard. He used his dog Sue in the training. He progressively introduced us to the techniques of training used with fence perimeters. He trained our dogs and trained us to continue the training.

Lance was very personable and knowledgeable. He demonstrated a caring attitude toward my puppy and the puppy responded positively to him. In the end I decided to go with a company that had a well established history. In case I need to call them for service down the road. Lance has just started his own business earlier this year and I worried about his longevity. Other than that, I thought Lance was great and I wish him well.

Lance came out on time to give me an estimate on the installation of an invisible fence for my dog. He was very professional and made sure that he answered all of my questions. He also provided references upon my request. I really liked him from the start. He was very courteous and professional. He was also great with my dog. I called 3 other companies as well but I liked the fact that Lance does all of the work himself. I also thought he was more honest than the others. Lance was also cheaper than the other companies and had a better guarantee. He did a GREAT job installing the fence. He checked with me several times to make sure that he installed things the way that I wanted them. He did a VERY neat job and cleaned up after himself. As far as training, he was WONDERFUL. My dog responded to him very well. He also DID NOT rush through the training sessions. He made sure that my dog and I were comfortable prior to ending each session. He was great. Hire him!!

Description of Work: I did not hire Lance, but his professionalism was great, he was prompt on responding to my initial inquiries and from our many phone conversations was very experienced in his field. The only reason I didn't go with him was that I wanted to have instant replacement on the shock collars should one break down or be faulty. This would have to however be sent back to the company Petsafe.

Lance is by far the best dog trainer I have ever worked with. He is very professional, kind, courteous, and easy to work with. When he works with the dogs, he is kind, and has lots of patience and energy to help them achieve the goal of staying within the fence. I believe that Lance goes above and beyond when working with him. He also offers specials for those who refer other customers. I highly recommend Lance. The costs are also less than the Invisible Fence company in some ways. It was a great experience all around.
Description of Work: They installed the invisible fence. They trained all 6 of my dogs on the fence.
