The Details

8 Reasons Homeowners Choose Pet Stop®

1

Lifetime Peace of Mind

Pet Stop® offers a Lifetime Warranty that covers manufacturing defects and accidental damage — like a chewed collar. Invisible Fence® warranties don't cover accidental damage, leaving you paying out of pocket.

We Do the Training For You

Every Pet Stop® installation includes complete, hands-on training by certified local trainers who work with your dog one-on-one. Invisible Fence® leaves the training process largely up to you.

Owner-Adjustable Collars

Pet Stop® lets you fine-tune collar settings to your dog's unique personality — no service call needed. With Invisible Fence®, even a simple adjustment requires scheduling and paying for a technician visit.

Comfort and Convenience

Pet Stop® collars are the lightest available and recharge on an exclusive diagnostic base that tests your receiver every charge — so you always know it's working. Invisible Fence® relies on disposable proprietary batteries with no built-in diagnostics.

Proudly Made in the USA

Pet Stop® systems are designed, engineered, and manufactured in the USA with imported parts. Invisible Fence® products are manufactured overseas.

Real Reviews

Hear From Your Neighbors

"This company is amazing! They were so quick to respond and installed our fence in less than two days. They also trained my dogs on the boundaries. Everyone was great, informative, and answered all my questions. I now have peace of mind knowing my babies are safe. Highly recommend!"

Stephanie N.

Short Pump, VA

"Our neighbors recommended Pet Stop for our golden doodle puppy. We have a large front yard but couldn't trust our social pup not to greet every passerby! Pet Stop installed everything in one day, and training started immediately. Within days, our puppy was trained and we have great peace of mind!"

Ken and Jackie C.

Chesterfield, VA

"We switched from Invisible Fence to Pet Stop and couldn't be happier. The technology is far superior, the collar is lighter and rechargeable, and the training they provided was incredible. Our dogs learned their boundaries in just a few sessions. Best decision we made!"
