Why Choose Hidden Fence of MD & VA?

Hidden Fence owner Lester Pullen & son with Hershey (see lower right)Hidden Fence owner Lester Pullen has professionally represented several brands of products, including several years working for Invisible Fence®.  An interesting turn of events led Lester back to many of the engineers and former Invisible Fence® friends.

A Navy Rescue Swimmer, Lester applies the dedication, commitment and principles from that experience, along with his knowledge and experience in the early 90s working for the Invisible Fence Company, to provide creative professional designs, installation, service, and support in Maryland and Virginia. (HiddenFence.net is not associated with Invisible Fence® or the Invisible Fence Company)
 
Hidden Dog Fence Company was formed in 1996 as a way to provide a consumer friendly alternative to an industry with very limited choices.
 
Lester presenting at the 2001 annual IACP meetingAs technology improved, and as science provided a better understanding of how dogs learn, the obvious responsible choice was to combine the two. The result, a uniquely gentle and humane training process that Lester introduced to the industry in 2001 while speaking at the annual IACP meeting (pictured right). While other companies are just starting to recognize (and now promote) the value of this training process, their own technology limitations hinder their performance.
 
 
The Hidden Fence Company is the area's longest standing local pet containment company in the Maryland counties of Anne Arundel, Calvert, Charles, Queen Anne’s and Talbot and also services Fairfax County in VA. We're highly committed to customer satisfaction, both experience and awards from the top manufacturers in the world.
