Laurie HackMarch 9, 2024The people at DogWatch are so patient with me! Haha! Every time I manage to disconnect my fence or break the line they are back right away with a smile in their face!!

Lara Valdes-PostulaFebruary 17, 2023This company was very easy to work with, and I thought reasonably priced. They installed an invisible dog fence, and showed the kids and I how to ‘train’ our dog to stay inside of it. My dog was trained 100% within a couple of days, which has been Life changing really. I don’t worry anymore about her getting out or running away, which gives us all peace of mind. Best money ever spent. I Would definitely recommend Dog Watch to others.Posted on Google

Lynn KershawSeptember 14, 2022We got a new puppy and have a big unfenced yard. The invisible dog fence was the perfect choice. Our puppy learned very quickly where she could go. It has been peace of mind since the day it was installed.Posted on Google
Monica DelgrossoApril 18, 2022Hey did a great job. Got it in south quickly and it works greatPosted on Google
Danielle PetersonJanuary 3, 2022We had DogWatch come and install an electric fence in our yard for our two dogs. They made the process quick and easy. I was worried about what it would do to our landscaping since we have a mix of gravel, concrete and grass but to our surprise their installer used a machine that installed the line perfectly. The installer was amazing from start to finish. He was super friendly and went above and beyond during the entire process. He even spent extra time working with our dogs to help them get use to it. Their fencing has been a game changer for us and helping keep our dogs safe. I highly recommend this company for your fencing needs! You won’t be disappointed!Posted on Google

Joan Zimmerman BorderNovember 16, 2016We purchased are fence 9 years ago. This past week one of our receivers quit working. I called them. They had me send the receiver back and in 2 days I had a brand new receiver AT NO CHARGE. how many companies in this day and age would stand behind their product for nine years? They are WONDERFUL.

Customer Testimonial
We love the DogWatch system and so does our lab, “Bear”. We have trained him three times a day for seven days now. He is running in our yard and we are now training him to catch a Frisbee (which is going to take a little longer than the training for the DogWatch system!)

How Do DogWatch Underground Hidden Dog Fences Work?
A hidden fence is an underground dog fence system that uses an electronic signal to keep your dog within a designated area and away from potential dangers. An underground wire transmits a radio signal to your pet's receiver collar. Watch the video to see how it works!
DogWatch has been making Hidden Dog Fence systems since 1990. Our fences are sold and installed by our network of over 200 independent DogWatch Dealers worldwide.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do hidden dog fences work?
Hidden fences are created by burying a ‘boundary wire’ a few inches underground around your property. The buried wire carries a harmless, low level radio signal from a transmitter installed in your house or garage. Your pet wears a lightweight, waterproof receiver collar that recognizes the radio signal. As your pet approaches the buried wire, the receiver collar emits a warning signal (audible or vibration). If your pet travels further, he will receive a mild electrical stimulation (also called a “correction”) from the receiver collar. Through a training program, your pet learns to recognize his fence boundaries and learns to stop at the warning signal. Although there are differences in some of the product features, this is how all hidden fences work (DogWatch®, Invisible Fence® and other radio fence brands.)
With an indoor system, the hidden wire runs around your couch, under the lip of the counter, around the trash or across a doorway or wherever you need to create either a containment area or an “off-limits” area. We also have “wireless” indoor units that do not require placement of a boundary wire. Give us a call to discuss your options.
How does my dog learn where the hidden fence boundary is?
Training is an important part of the process. After we install the hidden fence, we work with you to train your pet. The training includes teaching your pet to recognize the containment area boundaries through a combination of voice commands, audible warning signals from the receiver collar and visual flags that are set in the yard where the pet hears the warning alert. With training, the dog remembers the placement of the flags and associates the flags with the warning signal. As your pet learns, the flags are slowly taken away. Your pet also learns that if he continues beyond the flags and warning alert, he will receive a correction (a mild electrical stimulation from the collar). After training, most dogs do not cross the hidden boundary; they usually stop before the warning signal to avoid the correction.
We will initiate the training and provide instructions and support so you can complete and reinforce the training. After the initial training, your dog goes through a training session with you for a few minutes each day for about two weeks. We will develop a plan to meet the specific training needs of your pet(s).
Will the stimulation from a hidden dog fence collar hurt my dog?
The “stimulation” from the collar is a sensation similar to the static shock you receive after walking across a carpet in your socks. It is a brief, unpleasant sensation designed to deter a pet from leaving the boundary. After training, most dogs do not cross the hidden boundary and thus do not receive a correction.
The electronic stimulation will not “burn” your pet. In rare instances, prolonged or improper use of an electronic collar has resulted in a pet developing pressure sores on their necks. This situation is easily avoided by ensuring that the collar is fit properly and removed regularly. DogWatch strongly recommends removing your dog’s receiver collar daily when not in use.
How much do hidden fences cost?
The cost for a DogWatch Hidden Fence is almost always much less than traditional fencing. The cost varies based on which system is right for you, the number of pets, the size of the property, how many sidewalk and driveway cuts, if you want internal “garden loops”, etc. Contact us for a free consultation and an estimate for your property.
In addition to costing less than traditional fences, hidden fences provide more flexibility and more secure containment than traditional fences. For example, you can contain your dog in your yard, but keep him out of a pool area, garden or driveway gate. Plus, your dog cannot jump over, chew through or dig under a hidden fence. And hidden fences don’t need to be painted and don’t deteriorate like traditional fences.
There usually isn’t much difference in the cost of a DogWatch® fence and other Dealer installed brands (such as Invisible Fence®.) Retail brands may seem to cost less than the Dealer installed brands, but they do not include installation (which can be challenging), training (which is very important), ongoing support or a good Warranty program. Also, Dealer installed products tend to be better quality than retail brands.
Is there a guarantee on the DogWatch Hidden Fence system?
We offer a Lifetime Limited Warranty on our outdoor systems professionally installed by DogWatch Hidden Fence of Utah. There is also a limited 30-day money-back guarantee if you are not satisfied with the system.
