They called me back and said the collar was but if I wanted to pick it up he would should me what to check for including how make sure the fit was fitted correctly. He also showed me a display system he has at his house how to make sure all the setting should be set. They didn't charge me anything for the service. Great people and have always had great response if there was a problem.
Description of Work: I thought i was having a problem with the dog collar we use with the invisible fence. ED said if I wanted to drop it off even though it was Sunday he would test for a couple of days.

Best part is the rechargeable collar! We have had our system since 2013 and still going strong. Goes for months before recharging and easy to do. Best decision for our pet. And the customer service is above and beyond!!

I interviewed 3 invisible fencing companies before settling on Pittsburgh Pet Fence. I was a bit apprehensive about going this route with our dog, but up to this point we simply could not get her to stop running/ripping up the gardens. Ed is great to work with. He is personable, knowledgeable, and a competent trainer. Our back yard property is already fenced, but our pup kept wanting to run through the gardens. PPF was able to set up perimeter fencing to maximize Chloe's use of the backyard while keeping her safely out of the gardens. We also wanted her to be able to be in the front yard without concern of her running to the road. Ed came out the same day of installation and personally trained Chloe. He quickly acclimated our dog to the cautions and she caught on quickly. He leaves you with an exact program to follow to continue the training, as well as, his assurance that should you need additional consultation you only need to reach out. I highly recommend Pittsburgh Pet Fence.

Absolutely fantastic. Ed Fogarty is wonderful work with. He is friendly, enthusiastic, and totally sympathetic to the concerns of pet owners. His installers are prompt, professional, and just as friendly as he is. We had a relatively large install on a working farm and Ed and his crew went the extra mile to make sure our system was securely installed to withstand the tractors and other heavy equipment we use here on a daily basis. Ed returned (to train us!) to train our dog, and it couldn't have gone more smoothly. Additionally, Ed stands behind his system and products and will always return your call, no matter what question or problem you may have. I pride myself on being "capable" and seriously considered installing a store-bought system by myself. After our experience with Pittsburgh Pet Fence, I thank myself every day for deciding to let Ed and his guys do the work. It was and is truly worth every penny. Great company, great people, and great product/ service. I enthusiastically recommend Pittsburgh Pet Fence to anyone wishing to improve the safety and happiness of their dog.

I called and spoke to the owner and the next day they came and installed my fence. The installation crew arrived right on the scheduled time and were courteous and professional. The owner spent time with my puppy and did the training and worked to ensure I understood the equipment and system. It is rare that you receive this kind of courteous, prompt and professional service these days. I HIGHLY recommend them!

I can’t speak more highly of Ed band his team. They went above and beyond in every way. The dogs love their newfound freedom, and we enjoy the peace of mind that they are safe. Planning, installing, training, and maintaining the fence has been a breeze thanks to Ed and his company. If you’re considering an underground fencing system for your dogs, you won’t be disappointed working with this company. I can’t say enough good things!

We couldn't be happier with our choice of Pittsburgh Pet Fence to help secure our property and protect our dog. In the thoroughness of his training sessions and his responsiveness to customer needs, it is obvious that Pittsburgh Pet Fence's owner Ed is passionately committed to not just the quality of his products but also the safety of our dog. The telephone assistance by Joyce is top notch, a perfect combination of professionalism and friendliness. Even when our dog's collar was broken due to our own carelessness, Ed and Joyce went out of their way to replace our equipment and insure our dog's safety as soon as possible. If you are in the market for an electric fence system and live in Western Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh Pet Fence is definitely the way to go.

I can't say enough positive things. From the very beginning to the very end, it was so easy. I submitted a request for a quote and got called very quickly by Ed, who was able to give me a quote and answer all of my questions over the phone. We lucked out and got an appointment in just a couple weeks even though it was the busy season. The installation was easy and quick. Ed helped us do initial training and left us great material to continue the training after he left. Our dog picked up on the training very quickly. It's been 3 months and we're in love with the fence! Not only was this product wonderful, but it was better priced than the competitors. Would do this again in a heartbeat!

My wife and I recently purchased an underground electric fence from "Pittsburgh Pet Fence, LLC" and we couldn't be happier with the decision. We recently moved into a new neighborhood with a little over a half acre of land and wanted to protect our two dogs (5lb Yorkie "Bruiser" & 35 Mini Golden Doodle "Romeo") from ruining out onto the streets as well as stop them from doing their business in our new neighbors lawn. The owner of PPF, LLC "Ed" was extremely helpful from he very first communication and throughout the entire process. He and his team of installers were very professional and pleasant to deal with answering each and every question throughout the process. After the fence was installed, Ed came out for the training portion of the job and educated us on what we needed to do to get our two dogs to learn the system. He was clear and precise and in fact its only been one week and the GoldenDoodle has already perfected his boundaries and understands the flags, the Yorkie is a little older and still a work in progress but everyday with Ed's instructions its getting better and better. The yard that it was installed in is pristine and the cuts are almost unnoticeable after one week of the grass growing. The best part about this process is that we researched several companies and the fact that the PPF, LLC has the rechargeable collars is a huge A+ for them as you can spend $80-$100 a year per collar for the lifetime of the unit which makes them a premium product in my opinion and well worth it. If you are looking for an electric fence, look no further, Ed and his team are awesome! Good Luck - Matt, Ashley, Matteo, Bruiser and Romeo. A+A+A+

Very well. Best pet fence we’ve had out of several. The installation was quick and thorough, and the dogs were trained the first day. Really. I like the rechargeable batteries on the collar-only needs to be done every 60 days or so and the charger gives alerts. Great experience all around!

Pittsburgh Pet Fence did an amazing job installing our fence and teaching us (and our dog) how to use it. It has been such a relief to know that our dog is safe in the yard, especially since we live on a street that is often busy with cars. Ed has been especially reliable returning calls whenever I have questions or problems (which turned out to be user error!) I would recommend ( and have recommended ) Pittsburgh Pet Fence to anyone who is thinking about installing an electric fence.

We had a great customer experience with Ed from Pittsburgh Pet Fence. Ed stepped up when his competitor, - the third owner for a company, now Dog Guard, that first installed our pet fence with inferior equipment that failed three times - and would not even come out to look at our unit to see what the problem was or if it could be repaired; would only consider installing a whole new system. We finally found the right guy to help: Ed has been installing his fences for 10 years and knows the business inside and out. He only installs quality equipment and backs it up with amazing customer service. Ed is very professional and willing to work with customers to find the best fit for their needs. DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE OTHERS; it you’re not dealing with Ed at Pittsburgh Pet Fence, or don’t see the logo with his pet Pitbull, Scooby, you’re not at the right place. He replaced a very frustrating experience with excellent customer service and a quality product. We are more than satisfied.

Thank you Pittsburgh Pet Fence for installing our second system at our house in Mercer county. Reliable, friendly and affordable we asked if Pittsburgh Pet Fence could install a fence to keep our dogs safe at the lake. We were very happy that they would come all the way to Mercer county as it is a bit of a hike for them. They installed the fence in such a way that our dogs can be safe but still be able to safely run to the dock and get on the boat. Love the rechargeable collars and the fact that if I have had any questions they have been answered quickly. I have never had a problem at either of my properties with our pet fences. Installers are professional and we have been very pleased.

Exceptional service. Ed and his team arrived as promised, installed the fence in no time, and trained our golden doodle, Maizie the same day. We had the fence installed In the spring of 2014 to protect our puppy from a very heavily travelled highway. We have about an acre fenced in so she has plenty of room to run and play and we never have to worry about leaving her outside where she spends so much of her time. The rechargeable collar is an awesome addition...just place on top of box and let charge all night as you sleep. I provide Maizie with the best: food, groomer, vet care and tons of love. She requires lots of exercise but her safety comes first. She gets the best of both thanks to Pittsburgh Pet Fence. Protect your canine loved one with the best fence money can buy. Quality, reliability, great service, integrity and plenty of knowledge is included in the price. Thanks Ed and PPF team!!

Hello, I had my Pittsburgh Pet Fence installation about a month ago and wanted to share my experience. Let me preface by saying I am a retired K9 Sergeant with the City of Pittsburgh Bureau of Police so I know a few things about canines. Pittsburgh Pet Fence has been a terrific company to do business with. Starting out with evaluating my needs, walking the property, explaining the product, training and even follow up communications regarding satisfaction which have continued even after payment in full. Ed (President/Owner) was energetic and extremely knowledgeable not only about the product he sells but of the nature of our four-legged friends. Once I decided to purchase, (which was a no hustle and no pressure event) Ed worked around my family’s hectic schedule to insure I could be present for the installation. The installer, Maurice, arrived at the scheduled time and after a brief introduction/explanation of what was to occur, he went right to work. I might add that this particular day was rainy, and he had to go in and out of the residence several times. Considering the yard and conditions became muddy and wet, Maurice made sure to not track any of that mess into the house. Installation went without remark and before he left he advised that Ed would be there shortly for training. He was correct, they literally handed off in the driveway, no delay of my day, no waiting for information or phone messages about getting tied up etc. (I am sure people have known these experiences). Ed was professional and courteous and went right into training to insure we had enough daylight to get in our first session. Again, I was a canine guy, so I understand dog behavior, but I never let on. Sure enough, Ed hit all the points right on target and what surprised me the most was he even used the same vernacular I have used in training. In short: Great company Great product Great experience Which I highly recommend! Mike Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

My dogs love having the entire yard to run around in. It’s calmed them down, too. Ed’s training was fantastic. They picked it up super quick. It’s the best money we ever spent. I highly recommend Ed. We recommended him to family who used his services & are very happy as well.

My wife and I chose Ed based on his AngiestList reviews and we were not disappointed. Ed and his team were excellent during the installation and kept the yard destruction at an absolute minimum (which I could not have done). If the flags were removed, you'd never know there was a pet fence. Ed explained everything very thoroughly and his service was top notch. We're only a few days in to the training but we are so excited to let our very energetic dog run free, who had put stuck on a leash the last month after we moved into a new house. Ed also assured us they are always available should we have questions or concerns. Great experience, we highly recommend this company. Worth every penny when you consider the entire endeavor of installing one of these. As a side note, we purchased a 400 dollar wireless unit originally and this blows it away. Like I said, worth every penny. Thanks, Ed! Lily and family.

Simply outstanding. We adopted a rescue beagle from Foreverhome Beagle Rescue (who I also highly recommend) in 2015. We were told by the agency and countless other stories and articles online that "invisible fences don't work with beagles" because of their very strong nose and stubborn single-mindedness. After Snoopy's initial training, we've only experienced one accident where he left the fence (and he immediately sat and waited by our driveway) and one instance where he slid in the mud and got a shock and came right back in the three years we've had the system. And to be clear to other people familiar with beagles, I've seen him bolt full speed after rabbits, squirrel, and deer in our yard and just come to a full stop right at the edge of his fence. The system works. We recently added a collar to the existing system for our second rescue beagle and so far, so good. Ed is professional, personable, and really has a caring knack for training dogs. Look at the other reviews, and ask your local neighbors who have his system. You'd be hard-pressed to find a negative thing about Pittsburgh Pet Fence.
