We do recommend that your dog be at least 8 weeks of age before beginning training to the fence. They should also be comfortable and well-adjusted to their environment before beginning training.
Will the correction hurt my pet?

No, Pet Stop of Central Virginia, LLC will not install an underground electronic fence for an aggressive dog, unless it’s going to be used alongside an already existing wooden or chain-link fence. We do not recommend the use of corrections on aggressive dogs and recommend asking your veterinarian for alternative training method suggestions.
