“My husband and I were worried about our dog Hugo getting into the busy road by our house and sometimes onto other people's property. A neighbor told us to call Dog Guard of SC. Chuck Dubis from Dog Guard was at our house ready to work at 8am. The invisible fence was installed in NO TIME and Chuck worked with Hugo for about 2 hours. Even trained him on things unrelated to the fence. You can tell he really cared about our crisis and wanted to help. He showed me training tricks and WOW is he knowledgeable about what hes doing! It's really a blessing Ralph stopped by and told us about them. I highly recommend Dog Guard, it's way more than just a fence in a box from the shelf!!!!”
