Pet Stop Info

Pet Stop® President John Purtell is the original founder and first president of the Invisible Fence Company®, and now runs the fastest-growing professional pet fence company in the industry.



Whereas virtually all of Pet Stop’s® competitors have outsourced production to China in order to cut costs (at the expense of quality and reliability), John’s of pride in managing Pet Stop® is in producing top-grade equipment designed and manufactured under the same roof in Morgantown, Pennsylvania. Your pet’s safety is too important to be trusted to a shoddily-assembled product.

Former Chief Engineer of the Invisible Fence® brand, Scott Touchton remains a leader in pet containment. A crucial player in the development of Pet Stop’s® groundbreaking designs, Scott has composed several patents while overseeing the development of numerous products that have gone on to define the industry standard.

Like several other Pet Stop® team members, James Deery got his start with Invisible Fence®, Inc. as an IT Manager. Today he is responsible for designing the software for Pet Stop’s® receiver collars. We like to think that Jim helps our products “think,” making Pet Stop® products the smartest on the market.
