Dog fence installation is one of our Custom Fencing services, and it’s a physical fence — not an underground electric or invisible fence, which is different technology installed by a different kind of company. What we build is a real fence sized around your dog and your yard, not a generic template.

Why Thornton Homeowners Choose Us for Dog Fencing

We ask about your dog before we talk fence height or material — a determined jumper, a digger, or a dog that’s already found the weak spot in your old fence all need different answers, and we’d rather get that right the first time than have you calling us back in six months.

80%+

Of Surveyed Thornton Residents Have Seen a Coyote Near Home

Why a Secure Fence Matters More Than People Think

Coyotes are common across Thornton and the surrounding suburbs. In a Colorado State University survey, more than 80% of respondents in Westminster, Thornton, and Northglenn said they’d seen a coyote near their home in the past three years. Regional data on coyote conflicts shows the vast majority involve pets, and most of those incidents happen right at the resident’s home or backyard, not out on a trail. Conflicts also tend to run highest from December through March, when natural food is scarcer and coyotes range closer to homes looking for it.

That changes how we think about a dog fence. It’s not just about keeping your dog contained — a fence with no gaps, a secure gate, and the right height is real protection against something getting in, not just your dog getting out.

Sized Right for Your Dog

Jumpers & Climbers

Larger, athletic dogs need real height and a fence they can’t get a paw up on to climb — a determined dog treats a low fence as a ladder, not a barrier.

Diggers

For a dog that’s already proven it’ll dig, we bury fencing material at the base or add a buried barrier along the line, since a gap underneath makes a tall fence pointless.

Growing Puppies

A puppy that can’t clear a 3-foot fence today will grow into a dog that can — we build for the dog your pet is going to be, not just the one you have now.

Materials and Gate Details

Material matters less here than height, gap size, and gate hardware. We build dog-proof fencing in wood, vinyl, or chain link depending on what fits your yard and budget — real containment comes down to the details, not which material you pick.

Gate hardware matters more than people expect. A self-latching gate that a determined dog can’t nose open is worth the extra cost, especially with kids in and out of the yard all day who might not always close it behind them. For yards with real coyote pressure, we can also add coyote rollers along the top of the fence — a spinning bar that keeps predators from getting the grip they need to climb over, which protects your dog without changing how the fence looks from the yard.

Some dogs also do better behind a solid fence than an open one like chain link. Watching people, cars, or other dogs go by all day can wind up a reactive dog fast, and a solid wood or vinyl fence removes that trigger entirely instead of just containing the dog that’s already worked up.
