Dog Fence Training

Training your dog to stay safely within the boundaries of your yard doesn’t have to be stressful for you or your pet. At Pet Stop of Virginia, we use the exclusive GentleSteps™ training method, a positive reinforcement approach that helps your dog learn their new boundaries in a calm, controlled, and effective way.

Unlike traditional methods that can be overwhelming for shy or sensitive dogs, GentleSteps™ is designed to build confidence through gradual learning. Best of all, our GentleSteps™ Certified Trainers handle all of the training for you. You just follow a few simple guidelines, and in most cases, your dog will be running free and safely contained in less than a week.

Humane, Positive Pet Fence Training with GentleSteps™

GentleSteps™ training is a modern, veterinarian-approved approach that helps your dog quickly and comfortably learn their new fence boundaries. It combines advanced product technology with a gradual, step-by-step method that is both effective and kind.

During training, the collar delivers very low levels of stimulation, often described as a light tickle. This helps guide your pet without causing fear or discomfort and reduces the stress sometimes associated with traditional containment training.

At Pet Stop of Virginia, our GentleSteps™ Certified Trainers take care of the entire process for you. We make the transition smooth for your dog and simple for you to follow. In most cases, your pet will be enjoying safe off-leash freedom in less than a week.

Whatt Will It Feel Like for My Dog?

Steps™ uses ultra-low levels of stimulation during the early stages of training to help your dog learn the boundaries of your yard. Most dogs feel it as a light tickle, similar to the mild static sensation you might get from touching a doorknob.

This soft-touch training method helps your dog stay comfortable and focused as they adjust to the system. Instead of feeling anxious or unsure, your pet will associate the fence with freedom, play, and time spent safely outdoors.

How Long Will the Training Take?

Every dog learns at their own pace, but most pets are fully trained to the fence in less than a week. At Pet Stop of Virginia, our GentleSteps™ Certified Trainers handle the entire process for you and customize the training based on your pet’s personality and learning style.

All you need to do is follow a few simple rules at home. We take care of the rest. If your dog needs extra time or support, we’re here to help with follow-up training as needed.
