Welcome to our Pets of Invisible Fence® Brand blog series, where we share stories of pets who graduated our Perfect Start™ Plus Training program. This week, Invisible Fence of the Triad shares how Sam the German Shepherd stays safe in his yard with the help of Invisible Fence Brand's Boundary Plus® Technology.
Many people ask "Can German Shepherds be trained to use Invisible Fence?" The answer is YES! With our exclusive Perfect Start™ Plus Training, we can teach dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, sizes and temperaments to use our system - including Invisible Fence training for German Shepherds.

According to American Kennel Club, German Shepherds are very intelligent working dogs, typically in police and military fields. With the right socialization, they are easy to train and eager to please. Typically, this breed is loyal, confident and smart, so they respond well to consistent, positive, reward-based training. With the help of our certified trainers, German Shepherds can learn their boundaries quickly and confidently.
Sam is a three year-old German Shepard who lives in North Carolina with his dog mom (Ann) and one other dog sibling. He joined their multi-pet household on Christmas Eve 2018, and since then has become a proud graduate of Invisible Fence.
Sam's owners moved into a new house that backed up to beautiful woods that Greensboro, NC is so well known for. Like many pet owners, Ann wanted to give her dogs maximum yard space without a traditional fence blocking their view and interfering with the surrounding nature. So, Ann contacted Invisible Fence of the Triad for a quote and to learn more about outdoor containment for her yard.
Ann's local Invisible Fence Dealership recommended our exclusive Boundary Plus Technology because it offers 30% more yard space than other electric pet fences and would give her dogs room to explore all the way to the edge of their property without going over. This product is ideal when making the most of your yard space - especially when you have big dogs that need room to run!
In addition to giving Sam and his sibling freedom to play in a large yard, our Invisible Fence system also gave Ann a break from letting the dogs out to go potty. She no longer has to stand in the rain with them on a leash!
"I would recommend Invisible Fence as a great value for the money. I have two dogs whom I was unsure would stay in it, and it has worked wonderfully." - Ann
