About DogWatch® Hidden Fences and Pet Containment Systems

DogWatch. The Original Hidden Fence Company!

We Work So Dogs Can Play

At DogWatch, we understand that your pet is an important part of your family. With our indoor and outdoor pet fence systems, you can have confidence and peace of mind about the safety of your dog or cat.  Our Pet Fence systems are the most advanced and safest pet containment solutions available.

Hidden Fences Work For Cats, Too!

All DogWatch products are effective for cats, too! Create a hidden cat fence that keeps your cat in your yard and out of the kids' sandbox. You can also create an indoor pet fence to keep kitty off the kitchen counter, away from your new sofa and out of the baby's room. And you can use the system for cat containment and dog containment at the same time!

What Is a Hidden Pet Fence?

DogWatch pet fences use an electronic radio signal transmitted through an underground boundary wire. Your dog (or cat) wears a special collar with a receiver that detects the radio signal and alerts the dog when he gets too close to the underground fence. Using an electronic radio pet fence is easy and it is safe.

Hidden fences are sometimes referred to as underground dog fence or underground fencing, radio pet fence, wireless pet fence or "invisible fence."*

What a Hidden Pet Fence Is Not

The DogWatch pet containment system is not an electric dog fence! The buried wire is not electrified.

DogWatch and other ‘invisible’* underground pet fence systems are a form of electronic dog fence which use a radio signal. The dog wears a special collar that detects the radio signal.

Hidden and "invisible" pet fences should not be mistakenly referred to as 'electric fences' or 'electric dog fence'. They are radio fences, not electric fences.

How the Hidden Fence Works To Keep Your Pet Safe

Through an easy training process, your pet learns to identify and stay within your pet containment area. He learns to respond to an audible signal (a beep that comes from his collar). If he continues to go beyond the audible signal, he receives a mild correction transmitted through the receiver collar. Most dogs learn easily and quickly to respond to the audible warning signal when they get too close to the hidden fence.

DogWatch pet fences are safe for your pet and they are effective at keeping your pet safe. Veterinarians, pet professionals and pet trainers all over the world own and recommend DogWatch Hidden Fence pet containment systems.

Whatever your pet containment needs are, a DogWatch Hidden Fence is the best way to give your pet the freedom he deserves while keeping him safe.

A DogWatch Hidden Fence is not an Invisible Fence®

*The DogWatch "hidden fence" is sometimes mistakenly referred to generically as an "invisible fence". DogWatch Hidden Fences should not be confused with Invisible Fence® or Invisible Fencing® which are Brand names, products and registered trademarks of Invisible Fence, Inc.
