Real Stories, Happy Pets
“Highly recommend! This veteran owned company made the whole process easy and enjoyable. From start to finish, the experience was top-notch. They communicated every step, were incredibly kind and didn’t break the bank. The install was smooth, and the training was a breeze –my three large bully breed dogs are adapting so well! Now, they enjoy their freedom safely, and I get peace of mind.Unfortunately, we live in a world now where customer service takes the backseat. Not with Gateway. Working with Greg was such a breath of FRESH AIR…real people who care about their customers”

Real Stories, Happy Pets
“If you’re looking for a company to install your underground fence, know that Gateway Pet Stop will do an excellent job. Greg and team are extremely professional, and they communicated often regarding installation dates and follow up experiences.
When Greg learned the day of my installation that our yard was too wet for his machinery, he waited a few days and came back on New Years day to finish the job. Not many companies are willing to make those sacrifices!!!!”

“I highly recommend Gateway Pet Stop! Greg installed the pet stop fence around our yard, he was very efficient and speedy with the installation. After installation he trained myself and my 2 dogs on how to train them to know where the fence is. If you like the feel of a home town business that will be Gateway Pet Stop, very personable and very friendly. Give Greg a call, you won’t be sorry! !”

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.
