Freedom & safety for your pet

DogWatch® Hidden Fences keep your pets safe and are safe for your pets. Our hidden fences allow pets to run, play and exercise so they stay happy and healthy. With DogWatch, your pets will stay safely in your yard and away from places you don't want them to be. 

The most advanced safety technology.

safety features

SafeLink®
Our patented SafeLink® FM Digital Technology provides the maximum protection against false activation caused by stray radio signals. SafeLink Digital Technology is less prone to interference than the AM systems used by other brands, and that makes DogWatch the most secure hidden fence available.

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®
Our patented AutoMemory feature automatically adjusts the correction after your pet challenges the boundary. This discourages additional boundary challenges. If your pet challenges the boundary with the receiver set to level 3, 4, 5 or 6, AutoMemory will be initiated. For the next 24 hours, the correction will be equivalent to the next level if the dog attempts to re-enter the signal field. For example, if AutoMemory is triggered with the receiver set at level 4, the correction will be equivalent to level 5 for the next 24-hours. After 24 hours with no boundary challenges, the correction returns to the original setting.

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.

Relax with ProFence.

collar features

Longest Battery Life
All DogWatch Hidden Fence collars have a longer battery life than other brands. Our standard R9 collar has a battery life of up to 2 years. The R9V (with the vibration feature) has a one-year battery and our small R7mini (great for small dogs and cats) has a 6-month battery. Other brands usually need a new battery every 3-4 months. Fewer batteries are good for your wallet and better for the environment. And, most importantly, safer for your pet!

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.

Audible or Vibration Warning Alert
The DogWatch ProFence includes an audible warning signal to alert your dog that he is approaching the boundary. The R9 Receiver Collar is also available with a vibration alert, an option that works well for dogs who have a hearing impairment. With either type of warning signal, your pet quickly learns to stop 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.

High Impact, Waterproof
The DogWatch receiver is tested to withstand the harsh outdoor elements of rain, sleet and snow, as well as rigorous play!

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.

Small package. Outstanding Performance.

transmitter features

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.

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.

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.

Designed with both you and your pet in mind.

owner-friendly features

Flexible Training Levels
The DogWatch transmitter and receiver offer up to twenty unique options (plus audible only), designed to ensure safe, appropriate containment for all pets.

Proven Training Program
All DogWatch Dealers provide on-site training using our trusted and effective PetFriendly™ 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.

Lifetime Equipment Warranty
Our Hidden Fence products are built to last. We offer a no-nonsense Lifetime Limited Warranty on our ProFence system - including dog chews!

30-Day Money-Back Guarantee
We work hard to make sure DogWatch products are the best in the business. We back that up with a 30-day money-back guarantee. We want to make sure your pet is safe and you are happy with your purchase!

If I could give 10 stars I would do so! I retired about 2 years ago after 35 years with the same company. I wanted to give back in many ways, so one thing I began doing was fostering dogs. Tim came to my house and within literally minutes my foster dog who used to escape and run away was safely contained!!! He is a big strong dog with high prey drive, so I honestly had my doubts if this would work???? It worked like a miracle within minutes!! I am no longer completely anxious of his escaping any more! Thank you Tim and Dogwatch!!

Tim did a great job from start to finish at our house in Alpine. The installation was clean, professional, and everything worked exactly like he said it would. We were looking for a reliable hidden dog fence system to keep our dogs safe without ruining the look of the yard, and DogWatch was the perfect solution. Tim was knowledgeable, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the whole process. He took the time to explain how everything worked and made sure the system was set up properly for our property. You can tell he really cares about the quality of his work and customer service. Highly recommend DogWatch of San Diego and Inland Empire if you want a dependable hidden fence system that actually works and keeps your dogs safe.

Tim from DogWatch of San Diego was great! He is honest and very knowledgable. He installed the job quickly and checked back with us to make certain everything was working good for our pup. Thanks Tim for a great job and experience!

Highly recommend this company! We've had their fence installed for years it is effective and safe. We recently had some yard work done and they accidentally clipped the electric fence wiring in the ground, Tim came out and fixed it almost immediately. He provided us with two new collars and batteries too. If you are worried about your pups hopping your fence give DogWatch a call installation is quick and easy!

The hidden fence system works. I was able to see it in action for a few days and was impressed by its performance. The dogs are kept safe from any possible danger outside of their designated areas. It is a stress-free experience to be able to let the dogs roam freely without constant worry that something could go wrong. Tim happens to love dogs and understands the need of restricting a pet's ability to wander. Tim is sincere in his desire to help with any indoor and outdoor problems of pet containment and training.

Tim from Dog Watch Fencing methodically walked our 3 acre property and made sure our invisible fence was set up to ensure our dog Prince from jumping out of our property to go explore. Tim was very easy to work with and genuinely cares about the families and dogs he works with. We have so much peace of mind now and can finally relax knowing our dog is safe which is priceless!

Tim was very polite and aware of my dogs needs. We were going to try and re-home our dog due to his ability to steal the next door neighbors food. Also the only green lawn to poop on is across the street. NOW all the neighbors are happy. Great system, after Tim walked the dog around once, he has obeyed ever since..

Had a very pleasant experience with David when researching containment systems. He could have recommended a product that would have earned the company money but would also have been overkill for our needs. Instead he provided recommendations for a product that would suit our needs at a lower price point after researching products on Amazon. This type of honestly and integrity is a rare find. Thank you! Highly recommend!

We are so pleased with our fence! Jaz is doing very well. She respects the boundaries and responds immediately if she hears the "tone". The DogWatch fence is not confusing to her like the other invisible fence was.
