After serving four years in the United States Navy, I returned home to Minooka, Illinois in search of work. Not knowing yet what my calling would be, I transitioned from job to job, several times, before receiving a wonderful opportunity from Myles and Sue Smith. The Smith’s were the owners of Dog Guard of Illinois at the time and looking to begin retirement and train someone to take over their growing franchise… I jumped at the chance!
I grew up with animals of all kinds, but always have had a soft spot for dogs large and small. Quickly I began learning all I could about Dog Guard, about underground fencing, and began honing my training skills!
After a long transition period, of education and hands on experience, I am proud to say that I am now the owner and operator of Dog Guard of Illinois.
I am ever grateful to Myles and Sue for their support and for the support of my wife Haley during this transition period.

Chris McGuire, Owner
Dog Guard of Illinois
My name is Cliff Wheeler. I've owned and worked with dogs most of my life. I'm familiar with all breeds and sizes and I believe that all dogs should have the freedom to run around outdoors leash free.
My furballs are Violet who is a Great Dane, Lucy a playful Rottweiler and Pippy, my Chihuahua.
I look forward to meeting you and your pup soon!

“I really like how courteous and helpful Dog Guard of Illinois was in installing my electric pet fence. The staff was very helpful, friendly and made sure my puppy and I were very aware of how the fence worked. I would highly recommend them for any electronic fencing needs. They were very reasonably priced.”
