Multiple Pet Profiles

OWNER-FRIENDLY FEATURES
Easy for you
We keep your pet safe and are safe for your pet with our exclusive SafeLink® FM technology and safety features (such as AutoMemory®, TattleTale™ and SmartFence WebApp alerts) and settings that can be individualized for all breeds, ages and pet personalities.
Proven Training Program
All DogWatch Dealers provide on-site training using a safe and effective training program that includes visual recognition of boundary flags, learning to retreat from the audible (or vibration) warning signal and learning that there is an unpleasant sensation if they cross the boundary.
Flexible, Affordable Containment Areas
Over the river and through the woods? Backyard only . . . but not the pool and flower garden? Create a swimming area in the lake? It can be done. A hidden fence is more flexible and less expensive than a traditional fence. And your dog can’t jump over, dig under or chew through a hidden fence!
Works for Cats (and more!)
All DogWatch products are effective for cats, too! Create an invisible boundary that keeps your cat in your yard and out of the kids’ sandbox. You can also create an indoor cat 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! Also works for other “pets” including pigs, goats, sheep and more! Read more.
Longest Battery Life
The DogWatch SmartCollar™ battery lasts up to one year, compared to 3-4 months for most other pet containment systems. Fewer batteries are good for your wallet and better for the environment. And, most importantly, safer for your pet!
Lifetime Equipment Warranty
Our Hidden Fence products are built to last. We offer a no-nonsense Lifetime Equipment Warranty on our SmartFence™ containment system (SmartFence™ Transmitter and SmartCollar™) – including dog chews!
HIDDEN FENCE FEATURES
SafeLink®
Our patented digital SafeLink® FM technology provides the maximum protection against false activation caused by stray radio signals. FM technology is less prone to interference than the AM systems used by other brands, and that makes DogWatch the most secure hidden fence available.
Receiver Status Light
DogWatch receivers have a unique status light that provides valuable information to help keep your pet safely in your yard. It also lets you know if the receiver battery is low and if your pet has recently challenged the hidden fence.
Flexible Training Levels
The DogWatch transmitter and receiver offer up to twenty unique options (plus audible only) to ensure safe, appropriate containment for all pets. The settings are easy to understand and user adjustable (no service call required).
Range Setting
You can adjust the signal range (the distance the signal travels from the hidden wire) to meet the needs of your pet(s): a larger signal distance if you have large animals or a smaller range for small pets.
Lightning Protection
DogWatch Hidden Fences include the very best lightning/surge protection available as a standard feature. External protection directs power surges and lightning away from your home; internal protection suppresses surges coming in through your house wiring.
PowerPak™
Our optional PowerPak keeps your fence working temporarily if you lose power. With a PowerPak, you have added protection to ensure your pet’s safety. Provides up to 8 hours of backup protection.
FastReact®
DogWatch has the fastest reaction time in the industry. If your dog runs at the boundary, the receiver reacts with the warning signal before he reaches the wire, not while he is traveling over it.
AutoMemory®
This patented safety feature automatically adjusts the receiver’s correction level if your pet challenges the boundary. This discourages additional boundary challenges. The receiver automatically resets to the original level after 24 hours without a boundary challenge.
TattleTale™
If your pet challenges his boundary, the status light on the receiver double flashes, an indication that you may need to adjust the fence settings. The receiver resets after 24 hours without a boundary challenge. TattleTale™ is a patented safety feature from DogWatch.
Audible or Vibration Warning Alert
All DogWatch systems include a warning signal to alert your dog that he is approaching the boundary. We offer either an audible or a vibration alert. Your pet quickly learns to stop at the warning signal – before he reaches the hidden wire.
GentleFit™ Contact Posts
Optional GentleFit™ Contact Posts are easy on your dog’s skin. They are smooth like our standard stainless steel contact posts to minimize friction and low profile for a comfortable Pet-Friendly™ fit.
Automatic Shutdown
The DogWatch system is designed to protect your pet from an over-correction in the unlikely event that your dog stands in the signal field and does not quickly exit. The receiver will automatically reset once the dog leaves the signal field.
High Impact, Waterproof
The DogWatch receiver is tested to withstand the harsh outdoor elements of rain, sleet and snow, as well as rigorous play!
Loop Monitor
Our Loop Monitor alerts you if there is a break in the boundary wire. This is an invaluable safety feature for underground fences.
Please Note:
The SmartFence does not send out alarms or alerts if your dog activates the collar. The activity tracker is not real-time but gives you an overview of your pet’s activity in any 24 hour period and a historic record of collar activations. The SmartFence still includes the TattleTale feature which is included with our Performance Fences. See Hidden Fence Features.
