A Kinder Way to Teach Boundaries
At Pet Stop of Eastern Washington, we believe your dog deserves to feel safe, not scared during training. That’s why we use GentleSteps™, a low-stress method that helps dogs learn their boundaries calmly and confidently.
We’ve helped families from Wenatchee to Spokane Valley introduce their pets to underground fences without the stress you might expect from traditional training. Whether you’re in the heart of Chelan County or out near Ephrata, our approach is the same: simple, humane and tailored to your dog.
How Our Training Works
Instead of harsh shocks or confusing corrections, GentleSteps™ uses a gentle, adjustable level of stimulation — more like a tap on the shoulder than anything scary. We guide your dog through short, consistent sessions, gradually building up their understanding of where it’s safe to go.
Most dogs catch on quickly, and our team customizes the pace to suit their personality. From high-energy pups in Spokane to more timid dogs in Leavenworth, we’ve helped hundreds learn with confidence.
Where We Work
We’re based in Eastern Washington, so whether you live in a neighborhood in Spokane, on a few acres near Wenatchee, or out in Okanogan County, chances are we’ve worked in your area.
Our team regularly provides training and installations in places like:
Chelan, East Wenatchee and Leavenworth
Spokane Valley, Mead and Liberty Lake
Smaller communities across Douglas, Grant and Lincoln Counties

Tailored Training, Backed by the Right Equipment
Great training only works if the system behind it supports it. That’s why we use Pet Stop® equipment — American designed and built with trusted global parts, adjustable and designed to give your dog a safe comfortable experience as they learn.
From the lightweight EcoLite® with Link™ to the adaptable OT-300 transmitter, everything we install is customized for your dog and your property. It’s a big part of why so many of our customers see quick, lasting results — especially when compared to one-size-fits-all or DIY setups.

Why Families Choose Us
Over the years, we’ve worked with hundreds of pet owners — from new puppy parents in Quincy to longtime dog lovers in Davenport — and one thing keeps coming up in their reviews: they appreciate how patient, honest and reliable we are.
We’re local. We know the terrain, the climate and the challenges of living in this part of Washington. We bring that experience to every fence we install and every dog we train.
