Services
Outdoor Hidden Dog Fences
Our outdoor hidden fences use FM frequency technology to create secure boundaries for pets. The system includes a buried wire transmitting signals to a collar, training pets to stay within designated areas. With lightning protection and a lifetime warranty, our fences offer durability and safety for dogs of all sizes.
Indoor Pet Fences
Indoor pet fences prevent pets from accessing restricted areas like kitchens or furniture. Wireless units and boundary wires create customizable zones without physical barriers. Ideal for multi-pet households, these systems use the same FM technology for reliable, safe containment within homes.
Electronic Dog Training Collars
Our training collars reinforce commands and correct unwanted behaviors. Features include adjustable stimulation levels, no-bark solutions, and leash-pulling correction. The systems integrate with containment boundaries, ensuring consistent training for improved pet behavior and owner confidence.
Custom Containment Solutions
We design systems to fit unique property layouts and pet needs. Services include boundary adjustments, multi-pet configurations, and integration with existing structures. Custom solutions ensure pets enjoy maximum freedom while staying safely contained within personalized zones.
Pet-Friendly Training Programs
Our training programs teach pets to recognize boundaries through flags, audible warnings, and gentle corrections. Post-installation sessions ensure pets adapt quickly, with ongoing support for reinforcement. The method prioritizes safety and positive reinforcement for stress-free containment.

Questions
How do hidden dog fences work?
Hidden fences use buried boundary wires transmitting radio signals to a pet's collar. The collar emits warnings and mild corrections to train pets to stay within designated areas.
Will the collar stimulation hurt my pet?
No. The stimulation is unpleasant but safe, similar to static shock from carpet. It does not harm or injure pets.
Can hidden fences be used indoors?
Yes. Indoor systems create boundaries around furniture, trash cans, or rooms using wireless units or boundary wires.
What is the cost of a DogWatch system?
Costs vary based on property size and system features. DogWatch is often cheaper than traditional fencing, with financing options available.
Do you offer training and support?
Yes. We provide initial training, unlimited follow-up sessions, and ongoing support to ensure successful pet containment.
What warranty does DogWatch offer?
DogWatch includes a Lifetime Limited Warranty covering battery replacements, lightning damage, and system durability.
