Here are some things our customers tell us when asked...
Why did you choose Hidden Pet Fence of NY over Invisible Fence® Brand of Rochester?
"To anyone thinking of buying an invisible fence from the dealer in Rochester, please read this. My husband and I had the salesman out from Invisible fence. Our main concern we talked about was our dog being shocked and getting scared. The salesman assured us that is does not hurt the dog, and that is not a shock, but a correction of static. He pulled out a collar and let my husband feel it. He could barley feel it, and asked the salesman if that would keep him in the yard, and we were told that the certified dog trainer would teach our dog to stay in the yard using that setting. We were both impressed and after about an hour, we got the sales pitch and a quote of $2400. We both told him that was out of our price range, especially since our yard was so tiny. Then the price went to $1700 which is what we thought the price would be, but we had to sign up right then. Feeling like we were getting a great deal, and buying a great brand name brand, we signed up. 3 days later the installer came and to put in the fence, and soon after the dog trainer showed up. He led Bandit to the fence, and he let out a scream, and he jumped up into the air, and he pulled the leash right out of the trainer’s hand, and ran back to the house. We were so distraught by the experience, we didn’t know what to do. I ran to get bandit, and my husband ask the trainer what the heck did he just do. Then we took off the collar, and my husband took it into the fence line to test it on his hand like he did with the salesman. He yelled and threw the collar, and asked the trainer why it was it set so damn high. The trainer simply said that he really had to “give it to him” for him to stay in the yard, and besides, it was on the low setting” The low setting he felt with the salesman was not this setting. After 3 days of our dog refusing to go into the yard, we asked for our money back. After a week, my husband returned the unit and collar Invisible Fence dealer in Henrietta and demanded our money back. The salesman used bait and switch and now our dog is scared of our yard, and he now poops and pee’s in the house. The manager at Invisible Fence of western Rochester told me he could refund my money except for $300, which is the cost of the wire, which we keep, and it can’t be returned. A few days, someone came to our house, and ripped up the fence wire in 2 places, so there was no way we could use the wire, that they CHARGED us $300 for. Since then we purchased a fence from Ralph. With a low setting and a lot of time, we convinced Bandit to come back outside and use the yard. We have since told everyone about our bad experience with Invisible Fence Company and how happy we are with Hidden Pet Fence Company. If you are in the market for a fence for your dog, please understand that this was a terrible experience for us and our dog with The Invisible Fence Company. Working with Ralph at Hidden Pet Fence was more whan we expected to get from the bigger named company. Thanks again, Ralph! "

"You actually gave me information on the system, and about the training of the dog. All we got From Invisible Fence Of Western NY was a high quote of $2800, then he dropped it to where your price was in only a minuet. He used a sales "flip chart" that he took away with him, and left no information beind about what we were being quoted.... How many people fall for that kind of crap! How many people do they rip off with that first pice? Your presentation was honest and up front. I would be happy to reffer you out to other dogowners"
-- The Randall Family, Rochester NY
" I like how the dogs are trained with low levels of shock."
--R. E., Geneva NY
" Two members of my family have the Invisible Fence® of Rochester. They have the same yard setup, and similar dogs. They were quoted prices with a $500 gap between them. Then, when my sister's collar went bad, they charged her $265 for the collar, and fifty bucks for batteries. When asked about the lifetime warranty, they said that the battery leaked, and caused the collar to corrode, and it voided the warranty."
-- J. D., Hilton NY
" I did a lot of research. Then when I met you, I was sold on your training technique, and quality of the electronics."
-- R. A., Pittsford NY
"There are 3 systems in our project by the Invisible Fence® of Rochester. All 3 dogs are scared to go in the yard. They stay close to the house, and are mortified of the yard. The terrier down the road did a back flip when she was shocked."
-- T. C., Webster NY
"My sister has the Invisible Fence Brand® system, and they charged her $35 for a battery, a year after the salesman told her they were free"
-- The Rohdes Family, Rochester NY
"The Invisible Fence® Brand of Rochester quoted me $2650, and when I told them I was meeting with you, they lowered the price to $2200, then to $1800. I told him I don't do business with companies that go high, and lower the price, like a used car salesmen"
-- G. S., Greece NY
"You mentioned that you have a worst case scenario, if my dog was stubborn with the training. Your stopper program guarantees to keep my dog in the yard no matter what."
-- J. B., Naples NY
"Your collar is so small & lite compared to the Invisible Fence company"
-- V. B., Geneseo NY
"The Invisible Fence company didn't explain how the system works. I didn't know you could keep my dog in the front, or back yard with one wire"
-- M. O., Victor N.Y.
"When you explained to me dog's behavior and how they learn things, I couldn't believe how knowledgeable you were compared to the Invisible Fence company sales lady"
-- J. F., Honeoye Falls NY
"You were the only one that could do a half of a loop in the front, to the back yard fence"
--K. D., Fairport NY
"When you made me feel the shock of the collar, and showed me how low you use on the dog while training, I was sold."
-- K.C., Spencerport NY
"When we met you at GardenScape, you explained how the system worked, and shocked me with the collar, and I barely felt it. The Invisible Fence company did not explain how the system worked, and said that they don't recommend feeling their collar's shock. They were just interested in getting an appointment."
-- K. H., Penfield NY
"My brother is a veterinarian, and has a fence with the Invisible Fence company. All three of his dog will run through when they see something. They had to purchase a regular fence because the company told them that their 3 dogs were to stupid for their fence. He now recommends you exclusively because you have a stubborn dog training collar & training program that stops any type of dog."

Here are some things our customers tell us when asked...
Why did you trade the Invisible Fence Brand system and upgrade to a Hidden Pet Fence system?
"Invisible Fence company told my next door neighbor there was a $200 discount for being a cop, and quoted them $300 more than they charged us (identical size yards). With their discount, it was more. Plus, it was for the basic system (with a one-year warranty). Then, when you told me you could used my existing wire and sell me a new system for what they wanted for 1 new collar, batteries and training for my new dogs, my cop friend and I were sold."
-- T.C., Irondequoit NY
"When my system quit working, Invisible Fence said the whole wire needed to be replaced. You were honest and said I could use the existing wire, but recommended upgrading the system. I got a new system, with free batteries, and all new wire for what they quoted me to replace just the wire."
-- J.K., Victor NY
Invisible Fence® Brand Customers, that we have serviced, had this to say about the Invisible Fence® Brand of Western Rochester:
"I had the Invisible Fence brand of pet fence for my 3 dogs for 3 years. For 3 years one of my dogs had to be tied to a tree, as the other guys could not keep her in. They put 3 shocking collars on her and held her into the shock zone, and she would still run through the fence. Then I found you guys, and now after 6 months all 3 of my dog's can run together. Trixy was trained properly, and only wears ONE collar to keep her in."
