Meet Your Local Team
Dawg Fence is an expert in the pet containment field. We’ve been in business for over 20 years! Having a broad knowledge of the many systems currently on the market, I always try to offer the best options for our customers and their pets. I was looking for something that would not be as hard on the animals as the old-school electric fences. After evaluating and selecting the best possible options, I made my choice. Among all the other options, Pet Stop has the ultimate system.
The flexibility, versatility, and safety of electronic fencing are truly amazing. The Dawg Fence team at Pet Stop has the experience to keep your pet in or out of just about any area of your property. Through the years, most Pet Stop Dealers have been affiliated with a number of national fencing brands. After some exploration we ultimately found them lacking in some important qualities essential for our customers. Eventually, we found a like-minded manufacturing partner in Pet Stop.
At Dawg Fence, we’re committed to using the latest technologies, top-quality products, and features that support gentle training techniques. Pet Stop is the only pet store that shares my ideology. Together we provide the best possible service and quality to our valued customers. Pet Stop is the only company that provides products that are fully compatible with other fencing brands such as Invisible Fence®. Including batteries for the Invisible Fence® R21, R51, and Micro Lite receivers. Give us a call and see the real difference! You’ve found the company you were looking for with a product that no one can match! What are you waiting for?
Real Stories, Happy Pets
“Dave is wonderful! We had him out to test and repair a Pet Stop fence that was installed almost 20 years ago (and still works with his help!), and train our new dog on the fence. He is professional, knowledgeable, so helpful, and very reasonably priced. Highly recommend Dave and Pet Stop!”

“Dave Kerf at Pet Stop of Northern Illinois is Highly recommended by me. I have used Dave’s pet fence services for two different homes, one in Lake Bluff and one in Lake Forest and i am very pleased with his work at both locations. Dave is both professional and knowledgeable and was very helpful with his installation services and any maintenance services i have needed. You can’t go wrong working with him and he is local to the Lake Bluff / Lake Forest area.”

FAQ’s
Pet Stop is different because we don’t just install a fence. We provide complete training to help your dog feel safe and confident at home. Our Gentle Steps™ training program, expert service, and customizable equipment made in the USA with imported parts make all the difference.
A Pet Stop system uses a buried wire and a receiver collar to create a safe boundary around your yard. As your dog approaches the boundary, the collar gives a warning tone followed by a gentle stimulus if needed. With training, your dog learns exactly where it can and can’t go.
Yes, Pet Stop is designed with your dog’s safety in mind. Our Gentle Steps™ training method uses the lowest level of stimulus possible to begin, then gradually increases only if needed. This gentle, step-by-step process helps your dog learn the boundaries with confidence, and we take care of all the training for you to make sure it’s done right.
Yes, Pet Stop systems are designed to work for any yard size and any dog breed. Whether you have a small backyard or open acreage, we custom design the layout to fit your space. Our collars are adjustable for dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to large, high-energy dogs, and the training is tailored to your dog’s personality and behavior.
Yes, Pet Stop systems are portable. We can reinstall the system at your new home, including burying the wire and setting up new boundaries, and we’ll help retrain your dog at the new location.
