Serving Alabama's Lakes Since 1994

Electric Dog Fence Installation for Lake Homes & Second Properties

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.

Why Lake & Second-Home Owners Choose an Electric Dog Fence

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.

๐Ÿ“ถ

Know before you go, with Heartbeat

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.

Built for lake and river terrain

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.

๐Ÿพ

Comfortable near water and docks

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.

๐Ÿค

One relationship, wherever your second home is

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.

Fast, no-cost estimates

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.

Already have a system?

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.

Lake & Second-Property Dog Fence FAQ

The questions we hear most from owners of lake homes, river properties, farms, and cabins.

Heartbeat is a check-in built into our Wi-Fi Link transmitter. Every ten minutes it confirms the system is working, and it notifies you if it loses Wi-Fi signal, loses power, or the boundary wire breaks. For a property you're not at full time, that means finding out before you load the car, not after you've made the drive.
Yes, regularly. We serve lakes across a wide range of distances, from twenty minutes away at Lake Wehapa to a longer trip out to Lake Martin or Smith Lake. Scheduling accounts for the distance, and we're always upfront about timing.
Yes. Rocky bluffs, wooded shoreline, and sloped ground are common at lake properties, and we plan the boundary around what's actually there, burying wire where soil allows and securing it another way on rock or steep grades.
Yes. Waterfront lots don't run in straight lines like a subdivision yard, so we plan the boundary to work with dock access and how the property is actually used, not against it.
Yes. We troubleshoot, repair, and reprogram existing systems regardless of who originally installed them or what kind of property it's on, lake, river, farm, or cabin.
This matters more when you're not there to notice right away. We offer a battery backup option for the transmitter, and the Wi-Fi Link's remote reporting helps you catch an issue even when you're not on-site.
