Built for Lake Martin, Smith Lake, Logan Martin, Lay Lake, and the smaller lakes around Birmingham, along with river homes, farms, and cabins across Alabama. Our very first installation, back in 1994, was on a lake, and we've been at it ever since. Our Wi-Fi Link transmitter checks in on its own, so you find out before you load the car, not after you've unpacked.
A property you're not at full time comes with its own problem: you don't always know something's wrong until you're already there. That's exactly what a Wi-Fi-connected system is built to solve.
Every ten minutes, our Wi-Fi Link transmitter checks in on its own. It's called Heartbeat, and it's a fitting name: if the system loses Wi-Fi signal, loses power, or the boundary wire breaks, you're notified before you've loaded the car for the weekend, not after.
Rocky bluffs at Smith Lake, wooded shoreline at Lake Martin, open pasture on a farm property, we plan the boundary around what's actually there, burying wire where soil allows and securing it another way where it doesn't.
A shoreline lot doesn't run in straight lines like a subdivision yard. We plan the boundary to work with dock access and how you actually use the property, not against it.
Whether your place is twenty minutes away at Lake Wehapa or a couple hours out at Lake Martin or Smith Lake, it's the same company for your primary home and your getaway.
Most estimates are handled remotely using satellite and aerial imagery, so a longer drive to the lake doesn't slow down your estimate any more than a house across town would. Prefer someone on-site? Just ask.
We service and repair existing electric dog fences regardless of who installed them, common at lake and farm properties bought with a system already in place from a previous owner.
More than 350 of our customers have a system on an Alabama lake.
Three of the families whose lake places we have worked on.
I’ve been a customer for several years and have nothing but positive things to say. They installed and helped train our first puppy on the fence in 2009, then puppy #2 and #3 over the following years. They were quick to respond to service calls when the landscapers cut the line, which happened fairly often, and you can always reach them by phone with questions. They installed the fence system at our lake house as well and at a new house when we moved.
Pet Stop has been an amazing experience. Rob was an incredible, attentive trainer and the team that installed the fence was top notch. Highly recommend!
The Pet Stop system works better than I expected, but it is their service after the sale that I am impressed with. I have had mine for over ten years and I have called them on two occasions and both times I have found them to be prompt, courteous and professional. I have and continue to recommend them.
The questions we hear most from owners of lake homes, river properties, farms, and cabins.
Every Pet Stop system we install comes with a year of Shield, our service plan, including switch-overs that reuse the wire already in your yard. That's a spring visit to flag your lines, one wire break repair, and service calls without the base charge. A $199 value. After the first year, keeping it is up to you.
