Choose the Best Dog Fence System for Your Sarasota and Gulf Coast Family
The Problem We Solve
Finding a reliable, cost effective dog fence in Sarasota and along the Gulf Coast can be frustrating. Neighborhood rules may limit traditional fences, which can also block views and still fail if a dog digs or jumps. DIY kits often have poor quality components, while GPS systems require large spaces, daily charging, and costly subscriptions with no onsite training. Even with a good system, training can feel overwhelming without expert guidance. Gulf Coast pet owners need a solution that keeps dogs safe without the hassle.
Our Solution
Pet Stop’s professional dog fencing combines a proven containment system with full service training for a hassle free experience for Sarasota families. We customize the setup by burying a boundary wire that works with a small receiver on your dog’s collar. Instead of handing you a manual or leaving training up to you, our certified Sarasota trainers handle sessions at your home your only job is to follow a few simple steps. In less than a week, your dog will confidently understand the boundaries of your Gulf Coast property.
Three Easy Steps

Let’s schedule a consultation at your home where we’ll get to know you and your dog! We’ll answer your question, demo the products, and provide you with pricing. If it’s easier, we can provide pricing by phone.

FAQs
How long does it take to install a dog fence?
After your free in-home consultation, we typically install the fence within a week. On the same day, our professional trainer will begin using our GentleSteps® program with your dog. By the end of that first week, your dog should be running free in your yard—whether you’re in a neighborhood, have several acres or are somewhere in between. Our 100% containment guarantee means you can relax.
Will it hurt my dog?
We rely on our exclusive GentleSteps™ training, a low stress, positive reinforcement training carried out entirely by a certified trainer. Unlike cheaper DIY options, you won’t be left guessing about system settings. If you ever want to adjust the setting on your Pet Stop dog fence, just call us no extra fees. Other Southwest Florida companies may charge for the same service.
Will a pet fence damage my yard?
No. Our techs use specialized equipment and low-impact techniques to bury the wire 3–6 inches deep with minimal impact on your lawn. We also use low-impact methods to install the wire across driveways and sidewalks, leaving little to no evidence behind. In most cases, you’ll barely notice we were there!
Do dog fences work on all dogs?
Yes, our dog fence systems work effectively for all breeds and temperaments. Our highly customizable equipment allows us to adjust settings specifically for your dog’s size, personality, and training needs. While some dogs learn boundaries quickly, others may need more time and patience. That’s why our certified trainers tailor the training program to your specific dog, ensuring successful containment regardless of breed or behavior.
Do I need to rearrange my schedule for training?
We’re happy to work around your busy lifestyle in Florida. If you can’t be home, that’s fine just give us access to your dog, and we’ll handle each dog fence training lesson. Between visits, you’ll only need to follow a few simple rules our trainer will share with you.
How much does a dog fence cost?
Professionally installed dog fence systems can start around $1,000, factoring in yard size, warranty, and how much training support is offered. Our full service fences begin at $2,799 and include complete training so your dog masters the boundary in under a week. We also provide free customer support for any questions no hidden fees throughout Sarasota and surrounding Gulf Coast areas.
Can I upgrade later if my yard changes?
Yes! If you expand your property, add a pool, or change your landscaping, we can adjust the boundary wire and collar settings to match.
