Choose the Best Dog Fence System for Your Virginia Beach Family
The Problem We Solve
Finding a reliable, cost effective dog fence in Virginia Beach 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. Virginia Beach 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 Virginia Beach 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 Virginia Beach trainers handle sessions at your home your only job is to follow a few simple rules. In less than a week, your dog will confidently understand the boundaries of your Virginia Beach property.
Three Easy Steps
Step 1: Schedule Your Consultation
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.
Step 2: Professional Installation
Giving your dog freedom shouldn’t mean compromising your yard. Our trained technician will install your dog fence with care, using low-impact techniques that keep your property looking great. Once the fence is in place, we mark the boundaries so your trainer can guide your dog through our exclusive GentleSteps™ training program.
Step 3: Complete GentleSteps™ Training
Training is crucial for any effective dog fence system. Our exclusive GentleSteps™ Training is done for you by certified trainers throughout the Virginia Beach region. Your dog will quickly learn boundaries and enjoy safe freedom.

FAQs
How long does it take to install a fence in Virginia Beach?
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 fence, just call us—no extra fees. Other local 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 pet fences work on all dogs?
Definitely. We’ve worked with every shape, size, and breed in the Chesapeake area. Your dog should be at least 12 weeks old and comfortable in its surroundings before we start training. The only exception is aggressive dogs; we won’t install a fence for them unless there’s a physical barrier in place as well.
Do I need to rearrange my schedule for training?
We’re happy to work around your busy Virginia Beach lifestyles. If you can’t be home, that’s fine—just give us access to your dog, and we’ll handle each 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 systems can start around $1,000, factoring in yard size, warranty, and how much training support is offered. Our full-service fences begin at $2,499 and include complete daily training so your dog masters the boundary in under a week. We also provide free customer support for any questions—no hidden fees.
Can I upgrade later if my yard changes?
Absolutely. If you add a pool, expand your yard, or modify your landscaping, we’ll adjust the boundary wire and collar settings to keep up.
