How the system works

Whether your dog likes to run all day, play with kids, or just relax in the grass you can feel confident that he is safe in the yard thanks to DogWatch®. The DogWatch Hidden Fence System® is the proven way to give your dog the freedom he deserves and keep him out of harms way -- from chasing joggers, bicycles or cars, not to mention just roaming the neighborhood.

Pet friendly. Vet friendly.

The DogWatch® Performance Series™ system is the safe, proven way to keep your pet safe on your property. It's been thoroughly tested by one of the nation's leading veterinary colleges for safety and effectiveness, and veterinarians throughout the world recommend the DogWatch® system.

How it works

Our system keeps and eye on your dog by transmitting a coded FM radio signal through a boundary wire installed around your yard at ground level or just below. This harmless signal is picked up by a lightweight waterproof receiver collar worn by your dog. Depending on the size of your property and the needs of your dog, signal range may vary from the boundary wire. We will adjust the range that is most suitable for your dog and yard. When your dog gets close to the boundary wire, an audible warning reminds your dog not to cross. If the warning is ignored -- rare after training -- the collar emits a mild stimulation.

Adjustable Features

The DogWatch® system has several adjustable features that ensure the greatest safest and flexibility for your pet. We offer user-programmable receiver that you can customize to the training level that is right for your pet. Other benefits include:

* Works with all breeds and ages of dogs
* Effective after a few simple training sessions
* Good for even the most sensitive or timid pet
* No limit to the number of dogs per system
* Owner's guide and Instructional DVD included
* 30-day money-back guarantee
* Lifetime Equipment Warranty -- including dog chews!

*Your dealer will recommend when your pet is ready.

Hidden Costs

Unlike some of our competitors, there are no hidden costs when you purchase a DogWatch Hidden Fence. One battery in your R8 receiver lasts two years -- the longest in the industry! Ask us for details.

Lifetime Warranty

DogWatch® wants you to feel confident that your DogWatch® system is protected should your home experience an electrical surge due to lightning. That's why we've gone to extremes, like no one else, to equip your DogWatch Hidden Fence® with both internal and external surge protection.
This means you have ultimate protection from electrical surges that travel (1) into your house through other sources or (2) through the underground boundary wire in your yard. This unique two-way protection was developed and thoroughly tested by experts in the field of lightning expressly for DogWatch products. We're so confident that our lightning and surge protection is unsurpassed that we provide a lifetime warrantee with your transmitter when your system is properly installed and grounded by us. DogWatch® cannot change Mother Nature or eliminate surges from hitting close to home, but we can help minimize the potential harm caused by surges to your DogWatch Hidden Fence System®.

Lightning and Surge Protection

Internal Surge Protection

The DogWatch® transmitter and power supply are each equipped with surge protectors to suppress surges coming in through your house wire and divert them to your house ground.

External Surge Protection

The DogWatch® external surge protector directs power surges and lightning from the boundary wire to the ground rod into the earth and away from your home.

The DogWatch® power supply and surge protector are also UL -- approved in the United States and Canada.

DogWatch Hidden Fence Systems® are also recognized as a Consumers Digest Best Buy.
