How The DogWatch® System Works
 Our indoor and outdoor pet containment systems keep an eye on your dog or cat by transmitting our exclusive SafeLink® FM radio signal through a buried underground wire installed around your yard. This signal is picked up by a lightweight waterproof receiver worn by your pet. Your DogWatch Dealer will adjust the range that is most suitable for your pet and your property. When your dog gets close to the hidden fence, an audible warning reminds your dog not to cross. If the warning is ignored — rare after training — the collar emits a mild stimulation.
Whether your dog likes to run all day, play with the kids, or just relax in the grass, you can feel confident that he is safe in the yard thanks to your DogWatch Hidden Fence.
A DogWatch Hidden Fence is the best way to give your dog the freedom he deserves and keep him out of harm's way — from chasing joggers, bicycles or cars, not mention just roaming the neighborhood.
Adjustable Features The DogWatch system has several adjustable features that ensures the greatest safest and flexibility for your pet. In fact, it is the only 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
(Your Dealer will recommend when your puppy is ready.)

Best Battery In The Pet Containment Industry You'll change the battery in your DogWatch R8 receiver once every 2 years, compared to 4 batteries a year for competitor brands. And you can buy your batteries from us or any source you like. That means consistent containment for your dog and no "hidden" battery costs. Ask your DogWatch dealer for details.
Short battery life can compromise your dog's safety. When the battery runs out... guess who else runs out?
 Lightning Protection 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 warranty with your transmitter when your system is properly installed and grounded by your Authorized DogWatch® Dealer.
DogWatch cannot change Mother Nature or eliminate surges from hitting close to home, but we can help minimize the potential damage caused by surges to your DogWatch Hidden Fence System.
Internal Surge Protection
 The DogWatch transmitter and power supply are each equipped with surge protectors to suppress surges coming in through your house wiring 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. |
