i am using it to keep the bunnies away from my yard. So far it’s perfect! I had it professionally installed and they did not comment on any challenges.
This product worked great! I was a little nervous about the install on my chain link fence. However, shortly after the delivery I was contacted by the company’s preferred installer. He did the job and my dogs are happy to have free reign of the yard!
This Freestanding fence, using 100' of fence, up against a block wall, turned out great with some modifications due to mismeasurement on my part. My Grandson built it with the help of a few friends. The tops of the main poles mushroomed but didn't affect the integrity of the enclosure. The gate latch is a bit short but works. The plastic covers for the main poles don't stay in with the AZ winds but will glue them permanently. We connected the block wall to the fence with 2 shade tarps to give some protection from the AZ sun. Overall very pleased with purchase. Will be purchasing metal zip ties to replace plastic, as AZ sun will destroy eventually.
Great product and super easy to install along our wrought iron topper. We have had issues with rabbits hopping our wall to come in our yard for feasting on our grass and veggies. So far so good with this fencing installed.
We purchased this as an extra measure to keep our pups safe. They are the ultimate escape artists! It was super easy to put up once we got the hang of it. Everything came as described and correct in our order. We ordered 350 ft, so the kit was large! So far, it’s been jump proof! 🤞 I wasn’t quite sure how good it would look either, but it blends in really well since we have quite a bit of foliage around the house. The only cons are how cumbersome it is to put up the wire in 50ft rolls - it’s definitely a 2 person job!, the metal bars scratch the paint pretty easily, and the return/cancellation policy with the restocking fees.
Bit expensive but I still give it a high rating. You can use my picture in your advertising just send me 1% of proceeds 😆😂😆
I'm a renter so we put up a wire mesh fence with t-posts for our dog run. Jen at Dog-Proofer helped me figure out what I would need to integrate the 4.5' gate into our existing wire mesh fence. I just needed to purchase the extra hinge post and sleeve since I wasn't using the full fence system. Everything worked out amazingly and we are extremely happy with our decision of choosing Dog-Proofer. The only issue was the sleeves were very hard to hammer in and we used the top side of our t-post driver with placing some 2x4 scrap wood on top of the sleeve so we didn't damage the sleeve. I'd recommend that they provide the drive caps that come with the regular freestanding fence system. But overall, we are extremely happy how it turned out. Thanks to Jen & Dog-Proofer for making sure all our questions were answered prior to placing our order.
It took me two days to put up 150 feet of fence extension. I’m a 67 year old woman and put it up by myself. It was easy and I didn’t run into any issues. This is day three after putting it up and my cat has obsessively walked the perimeter and made several unsuccessful attempts to get out. I’m so glad I purchased this and highly recommended it for other cat owners.
Our vinyl fence is 6 feet tall around part of the yard and 4 feet around the rest. After about six months of golden retriever containment, our dog figured out how to scramble over the 4-foot section. We chose the Dog Proofer curved fence extension as a solution, and it’s been exactly what we needed.
We hired a local handyman for installation, and he had no issues. That said, vinyl fencing does require a bit of extra attention during install:
- The post caps had to be removed,
- A wood block inserted into the hollow vinyl post,
- And the extension bracket was drilled directly into the wood for stability.
We were initially worried about splitting the posts, but our handyman pre-drilled the holes and everything went smoothly.
It’s now been two weeks. Our dog immediately tested the entire perimeter and hasn’t escaped since. The system feels solid and secure, and we’re optimistic that she won’t be able to go over the top again.
Highly recommend for anyone with a vinyl fence and a dog determined to find the weak points!
This saved us from having to buy a new fence and at a fraction of the cost. It also solved the problem. It was easy to install. Good quality. Shipping was prompt and their customer service was super responsive and helpful. Best choice we ever made.
Our concerns about our growing pup’s ability to scale our 4-foot fence were completely put to rest with the installation of the Houdini-Proof Fence Extender almost two weeks ago. This cost-effective solution not only looks great but is also impressively sturdy. It's well designed and easy to install, thanks to the detailed instructions and the included supplies, which allowed us to securely attach it to our fence type. Now, we can let our pup outside with confidence, knowing he’s safe and secure.
We bought this ladder from someone who purchased and never used. We fell in love with it! Had 3 dogs, 55, 75 (now 100) and 85 lbs. They could all walk up and down this ladder, we did not have to lift them! One, very sad, day, the ladder sunk. I purchased a new one, because we can not live without it now! The new one has Styrofoam in it (as this has apparently happened before) so now it won't sink. BEST LADDER for my pontoon boat EVER!
Great idea but I don’t know if my dog can dig through yet as she has not even tried since put in. Seems sturdy and strong and well anchored.
We have had the system for several months now. There was one escape when our dog "bulldozed " through the base of our chain link fence. That has been secured with no further problems. He never even tried to climb or jump over the top which he used to do with ease. We have a relatively large area. The system took several days to install with some frustration. Overall it is a great solution for our athletic escape artist!
This is an expensive fix for my budget. Yet what can I say we love our dog!! This fence is the difference between keeping a Houdini dog or rehoming one. It went up easily although we still have a small section and a double gate to adjust. We have had many inquiries as to where we got it. If you wonder whether it's worth it, absolutely 💯 it is. I recommend this fence and company.
Installation wasn’t difficult but did take some time for me to adjust the existing fence hardware. I have a fence that ties into neighbors on both sides so had to get creative with shims in some areas. Overall, I put up 300’ and tied in two double gates and one single gate. This was a solo operation. After releasing my Husky she went straight to her normal escape corner and launched herself into the fencing. I had to laugh because she wasn't hurt but she can no longer escape.
We love our new dog fence extender! It keeps our 100 lb puppy from jumping the fence and swimming in the pond, chasing squirrels, etc. Also, pretty easy installation.
This product is GREAT! Easy to install and very well made. Just what we needed for our dog who can climb our 6 ft privacy fence!!
My Am-Staff/Pit mix started jumping my post and rail fence. And I’m now the proud owner of the Houdini-proof fence extension . Got it installed yesterday and my girl has tried jumping the fence multiple times today without success. I got the poly-mesh so I need to watch that she doesn’t chew it. But otherwise it works great and looks nice.
Our two weimaraners, 65 and 75 pounds, were trained on an inflatable pup plank. But, that no longer worked when we got a boat with a higher swim platform. We tried several alternatives that were either cumbersome or ineffective. Then we discovered the Waterdog product, four bolts later had it installed. Our 6 yo figured it out instantly. Our klutzy puppy is still learning to swim and only figured out the house stairs a few months ago. Even he had it dialed in during our first outing. The quality impresses. My only addition will be key chain floats on the two Detent Ring Pins.
We bought the 42" to make sure our long-legged Chi could not bounce out! This is a very sturdy and secure gap barrier! We have a white aluminum fence and from my neighbor's house you cannot see the barrier. It is not an eye sore. This is the best thing we have done for our tiny dogs! 100% safe, snug it properly and watch them run! We live on a lake and installed the barrier on the inside of our fence so it is least visible for our neighbors and HOA. Looks great! We got clear zip ties, the ones which came with the barrier are black. We are very happy!
Please note these dogs have extensive formal water training. We support use of canine floatation ( doggie life vest). Thank you so much for this ladder! This is our 4 th year of use!
Installed in april 2021, cannot see it from outside the fenced yard, has held up well through 2 Minnesota Winters and a few Derechos with a neighbors tree falling on our fence. Ironically now our 13 yo isn't physically able to jump the 6ft fence but a few years back she could easily clear it. Wish I had known about this product 10 yrs ago as have had horror stories of our dog jumping while attached to staked lead and almost hanging herself to her escaping and getting into very heavy traffic. So this system is priceless and will be used whenever we have new dogs someday! Even if we sold our house I would dismantle this system and take it with us. I do suggest the wire mesh netting, the heavier gage option if you have harsh climates. Ours still looks brand new.
Imported the Houdini-Proof Dog-Proofer Fence Extension Arm and Mesh as unavailable in U.K.
Great service from company with good communication throughout process. It was easy to order extra arms that were added to the kit order
Product is fit for purpose, brackets very sturdy and mesh is tough. Instructions very clear and easy to follow.
I was a little concerned about how it would look in my garden but the mesh blends in well with the foliage and the black brackets look ok with the fencing that is painted black. Houdini-Proof Dog-Proofer Fence Extension Arm Houdini-Proof Dog-Proofer Fence Extension Arm
Really pleased with this product, thankyou
