Mixed Breeds come in many different shapes, sizes, weights, and more. Typically, mixed breeds are pretty smart and active. With the right socialization, they can be easy to train. There are an infinite number of different mixed breeds in the world, so when it comes to training it's important to get a feel for how the dog will respond best. Whether that be through really exciting and positive training or consistent and firm training, figuring out the best teaching environment for your dog will give you a great start. With the help of our certified trainers, Mixed Breeds can learn their boundaries quickly and confidently.
Here is Willow's story:
Willow is almost a 2-year-old Pit Mix with a piggy-like snort. She lives in Pittsford, New York with her dog parents and sister Ruby. Willow loves being outdoors and playing with her sister as much as possible.
Why did Willow's parents contact Invisible Fence of Upstate New York?
Willow and her family live close to a fairly busy road and their next-door neighbor is a small farm with goats, chickens, and various other foul. When Willow's mom, Jamie, noticed just how much the girls loved being outside hanging out, she knew she wanted to keep them safely contained in their yard. Like many pet parents, Jamie also wanted to give Willow and her sister maximum yard space. So, Jamie contacted Invisible Fence of Upstate New York for a quote and to learn more about outdoor containment for her yard.
"Both of our dogs absolutely love the outdoors. We know we can let them out without worry" - Jamie
How did Invisible Fence of Upstate New York help?
Jamie worked with her local Invisible Fence Dealership to learn about all the different containment solutions. Invisible Fence of Upstate New York talked to Jamie about our Boundary Plus® Line of Outdoor Solutions which protect pets from chasing cars, roaming the neighborhood or running off. With an Invisible Fence containment solution and our Perfect Start™ Plus Training Program, Willow and her sister were set up for success.

In addition to giving Willow and her sister freedom to play in their yard, our Invisible Fence system also gave Jamie the confidence that the girls would be protected from the busy road and the critters next door.
