Hidden Dog Fence for Rural & Acreage Properties

If you’re on a rural property, a farm, or a large cottage-country lot, a traditional fence usually isn’t realistic — the cost climbs fast with acreage, and a fence line doesn’t always work with the terrain, tree cover, or property lines you’re working with. We build hidden dog fence systems that follow the actual shape of your land instead of forcing it into a straight perimeter.

What’s Included

RadioPet’s rural installs use our RadioPet® EcoLite system, a rechargeable hidden fence that runs on 14-gauge solid-core copper wire buried around the boundary you set — whether that’s a few acres or a full farm lot. Because the wire follows your property rather than a fixed shape, it can wrap around ponds, laneways, sheds, gardens, or wooded sections without gaps. Every install includes GentleSteps™ training, so your dog learns the boundary before you rely on it day to day.

We also service and repair existing systems from other brands — Invisible Fence®, DogWatch®, PetSafe® — and sell compatible batteries and collars, which matters if you’re an existing rural owner dealing with battery costs or a system that’s stopped holding a boundary reliably.

Why It Matters on a Rural or Acreage Property

Large lots create problems a standard suburban fence quote doesn’t account for: more linear footage to cover, uneven or wooded terrain, and often no clear line dividing “yard” from the rest of the property. A hidden fence solves the boundary problem without the material and labour cost of fencing acres of land, and it doesn’t block sightlines or interrupt how the property is used for anything else — access for equipment, view of the water, or open pasture.

It’s also relevant if you’re moving into a new build on a larger lot and don’t yet have any fencing at all, or if you’ve inherited an existing hidden fence system from a previous owner and aren’t sure it’s still working correctly.

How It Works

1. Request a quote. We provide quotes by phone or online — no home visit required to get pricing.
2. We map your boundary. You tell us where the dog needs to stay in (or out of); we design the wire layout around your property’s actual shape.
3. Installation. The EcoLite system is installed using 14-gauge solid-core copper wire.
4. GentleSteps™ training. Your dog is introduced to the boundary and collar signal in structured stages.
5. Ongoing support. Because the EcoLite is rechargeable, you’re not replacing batteries — and we service the system if anything needs adjustment later.

Why RadioPet

RadioPet has been family-operated since 1995 — over 30 years installing and servicing hidden fences in Ontario. The EcoLite system is rechargeable, so there’s no recurring battery cost the way there is with some other systems.

FAQs

Does a hidden fence work on a large rural property?
Yes. Because the wire is installed to follow your property’s actual boundary rather than a fixed shape, it works on lots of any size, including multi-acre rural and farm properties.

Will the fence work through wooded or uneven terrain?
The wire is buried along the ground you set as the boundary, so it isn’t limited by trees, slopes, or uneven terrain the way a physical fence installation can be.

What if I already have an Invisible Fence® or DogWatch® system on my property?
We service and repair systems from other brands, including Invisible Fence®, DogWatch®, and PetSafe®, and carry compatible batteries and collars.

Do I need to be home for a quote?
No. We provide quotes by phone or online without a home visit.

Is there an ongoing cost for the fence system?
The RadioPet® EcoLite system is rechargeable, so there’s no recurring battery replacement cost the way there is with some other systems.
