These days people don’t need a wooden or metal fence to keep their pet out of the pound. In fact the best way to ensure the family dog doesn’t become the neighborhood stray can’t be seen at all.
‘The idea when we set this business up was to offer a high quality product at a reasonable price. Something everybody can afford,? said Randy Badour, owner of SafeBet Hidden Fencing of Michigan LLC. ‘With some of the other companies out there, you call them up, have them come out and they give you a price that is usually very, very expensive. We wanted to offer something that everybody could do.?
With great pricing and superb customer service, it’s no wonder they’re celebrating their 5th Anniversary this year.
What Randy’s business offers is a safe, economical alternative to chain link fencing. His product, Hidden Fence, is 99.2 percent effective at training a dog to respect the boundaries of a yard. Not to mention Hidden Fence can save pet owners thousands compared to wood or metal fence installation.
There’s no guarantees that a chain link fence will work either. Dogs can climb over them or dig under them or someone will make the mistake of leaving the gate open. I’ve had plenty of calls to go put in an electric fence inside their fence.?
With Hidden Fence, the dog is fit with a collar which emits a warning sound when the animal wanders too close to the boundaries specified at installation. If the animal continues towards the boundaries the collar delivers a mild corrective stimulation.
‘Depending on the dog, you are talking about two to four weeks for training. Once they hear that warning tone that is all it takes,? said Badour, who uses Hidden Fence to keep his dog, Kramer, from terrorizing the neighbors.
Hidden Fence’s collar interacts with a boundary of wire installed into the ground. The process of setting up the wire takes between two and four hours. Badour and his crew slice open the ground in order to thread Hidden Fence across the yard.
‘We’re a local business. I think we offer a little more personal touch for the customer. We’re available when the customer calls and we’re there the same day doing whatever they need, from any problems they have with the system to training their dog,? said Badour.
All of Badour’s packages include up to one acre of Hidden Fence wiring.
As well as keeping pets in the yard, SafeBet also offers solutions inside the home, in the form of small battery powered units which will safeguard anything from a garbage can or toilet bowl to a computer room. ‘If you have something in the house you want to keep the cat away from, these will do the trick,? said Badour.
The aforementioned devices and others including training equipment for sporting dogs and other remote training collars are available for purchase online.
Badour also has pet owners in mind with the newest addition to the SafeBet stable.
Now, anyone who owns a goldfish, parakeet, cat, dog or any other house pet can go SafeBet Hidden Fencing’s website and purchase everything from food to collars. ‘Order what you want and it’s delivered right to your door,? said Badour.
Customers can either make a one time purchase or schedule regular deliveries of a wide array of high quality products. ‘People are so busy now they don’t want to mess with buying pet food. Whatever they need just comes automatically and they don’t even have to think about it,? said Badour.
