Owner Friendly Features
A DogWatch® hidden pet fence offers the very best system for giving your pets freedom where it is safe for them to play while keeping them out of areas you deem “off-limits.” You can easily and safely keep your pets in the yard and out of the flowerbed, kids play area, swimming pool, BBQ pit or any area you designate - outdoors and indoors, too. If your property includes a gated driveway, you can keep your pet in your yard when the gate opens and closes. Did we mention that both our indoor and outdoor pet fence systems also work great for cat containment?

Optional Accessories
PowerPak™
The optional PowerPak keeps your pet fence system working temporarily should you lose electric power. After training, most dogs will stay within the hidden boundary even when the system is not on, but with PowerPak you have added protection to ensure your pets safety when the power goes out. Provides up to 8 hours of back-up protection.
System Panel
Keep everything together with a convenient, simple, inexpensive system panel. The transmitter is mounted on the panel and there are perfectly sized pockets for keeping your DogWatch® equipment, tools and materials organized and together in one location.
DogWatch® Transmitter Features
It all starts with the transmitter, and ours has many unique features and benefits.
SafeLink
Our patented digital FM technology provides the maximum protection against false activation caused by stray radio signals. DogWatch® is the ONLY pet fence system that offers FM technology – and that makes DogWatch® the most secure hidden fence available.
Flexible Training Levels
The combination of settings on the DogWatch® transmitter and receiver offer up to twenty different correction levels to ensure safe and appropriate training for your pet. You can also set your system to “audible only” to introduce your dog gently to the training and his boundaries.
Range Setting and Loop Monitor
This dual function display allows you to set the signal field width to best meet the needs of your pet(s): a broad outdoor dog fence field for a larger animal or a smaller range cat fence for your favorite feline. It also alerts you to any change in the strength of boundary signal or to a break in the boundary wire. This is an invaluable safety feature for underground fences and fences that are invisible to the eye.
Lightning Protection
Feel confident that your DogWatch® pet fence 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. External Surge Protection directs power surges and lightning from the boundary wire to the ground rod into the earth and away from your home. Internal Surge Protection suppresses surges coming in through your house wiring and diverts them to your house ground.
DogWatch® Receiver-Collar Features
Small package. Outstanding performance.
The lightweight waterproof radio receiver-collar worn by the dog identifies the coded FM radio signal transmitted through the hidden boundary wire. The same collar works on both indoor and outdoor systems.
There are several receiver models depending on the system that is right for you and your dog. The receiver can be attached to a variety of different collar colors and styles.
SafeLink®
Our Exclusive-Patented digital FM technology provides the maximum protection against false receiver-collar activations caused by stray radio signals. DogWatch® is the ONLY pet fence system that offers FM technology – making ours the most secure hidden fence system available. The advantage of this technology is peace of mind that your pet will never be shocked by accident. It's common with ALL other AM-Radio brands of hidden fencing for household items such as television remotes, garage door openers, etc. to arbitrarily set off the receiver-collar, causing a great deal of discomfort and anxiety for your pet. With DogWatch®, thanks to our digital FM design, you never have to worry about this happening. Your pet will always be comfortable in your home, as well as safe in the yard. The source of this advantage comes from the differences between FM and AM radio signals.
2 YEAR Battery Life
The DogWatch® model R9 receiver-collar has a 2 year battery life which is 8 times longer than the rest of the industry. When you add up and compare the money spent on collar-batteries over the full lifecycle of a hidden fence, DogWatch® has the lowest Total-Cost-of-Ownership in the business. Changing collar-batteries less often means you are less likely to forget, making DogWatch® the safest choice for your pet as well as the least expensive....
AutoMemory®
This Exclusive Patent-Pending safety feature automatically increases the receiver-collar correction level if your pet challenges the boundary. If he doesn't enter the fence zone again over the next 24 hours the collar automatically sets it back down to the original setting. The advantage of this feature is automatic correction level adjustment for those times when your pet could use some added "incentive" to remain in the yard, yet a higher correction setting is not needed all of the time...
Audible Warning
All DogWatch® systems include an audible warning to alert the dog that he is approaching the boundary. Your pet will learn to stop at the audible warning before he reaches the hidden wire.
Status Light
Only DogWatch® offers a status light to confirm that you pet’s receiver is functioning properly. It also lets you know when the receiver battery is low and if your pet has recently challenged the hidden fence. This important feature provides valuable information to help ensure your pet stays safely in your yard.
Automatic Shutdown
The DogWatch® system is designed to protect your pet from an over-correction in the unlikely event that your dog stands inside the signal field and does not quickly exit. The receiver will also 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!
FastReact®
DogWatch® offers the fastest receiver-collar reaction time in the industry, (1/8th or 0.125 second). The nearest competitor to DogWatch® is 5 times slower than this. The advantage of this Exclusive Patent-Pending feature is that if your pet runs toward the fence at top speed, the DogWatch® receiver-collar will react before he reaches the boundary wire, not after he has already moved beyond the other side of the fence zone and out of your yard...
Outdoor Hidden Fences
Hide the Fence. Not your yard!
A small area – or up to 200 acres – whatever is right for you. Our outdoor pet fences allow you to give your pet access to your entire yard or a smaller designated area. And unlike more costly wooden or chain link dog fences, your pet can't jump over, dig under or chew through a DogWatch® hidden fence. In addition to being less expensive than traditional pet fences, an underground pet fence safeguards your landscaping rather than hiding it. It is the sensible solution for protecting both your pet and your property.
Your local Dealer can recommend and install an outdoor pet fence system that is right for your yard. We have installed systems in all kinds of terrain – including orchards, barnyards, a swimming area in a lake and across woodland streams. Whatever it takes we work so dogs can play!
Works well for cat containment too!
Did you know that DogWatch® is not just for dogs? Our DogWatch® pet fence system works well as a cat fence, as well. The DogWatch® outdoor pet fence system and all of our indoor pet fence products are very effective for cat containment.
If you have a dog and a cat? No problem. You can use a DogWatch® hidden fence system as a cat fence and a dog fence at the same time. And, if you have several dogs and cats? No problem. Our hidden fence systems can handle multiple pets. And since no two pets are alike, the collar settings and can be individually adjusted to suit the breed, size, age and temperment of each pet on the system.
Some basic hidden fence configurations:
A customized outdoor boundary loop lets your dog run free and play over your entire property. Smaller inner loops can keep your pet out of the garden or pool area. Our boundary wire is specifically designed for longlasting underground durability.
Indoor Hidden Boundaries
Your pets easily learn where they can go, and what is off-limits...
Your pet is welcome in most parts of the house, but maybe there's one room or piece of furniture you'd like to keep pet-free without raising your voice or installing unsightly gates. You can effectively keep your pet off the couch, away from the trash, out of the dining room, and off of your kitchen counters with our indoor pet fence systems.
Our indoor pet fences work wherever you need them, quietly, effectively, and hidden from view. A harmless, noiseless FM radio signal lets you control where your pets roam in the house. The systems work with the same DogWatch® receiver collar your pet wears outside, so it's a great way to expand the value of your Hidden Fence purchase.
Installation is simple and convenient...
Just place the transmitter in the area you want to protect and create an instant hidden fence, easily adjusted by you. Our indoor systems are the perfect solution for keeping your dog away from the cat litter box! For simple applications, try one of our 'wireless' fence units. *
If you want to keep one pet or multiple pets out of several rooms, your DogWatch® Dealer can install a fully wired hidden indoor system for you. The result will be appreciated by every pet (and person) in your home.
* "Wireless" units do not require boundary wires; the signal radiates directly from the transmitter and the signal can be adjusted to create the boundaries you need. The transmitters plugs into any wall outlet; they are NOT battery operated.

Dogs love to run and jump. Dogs love to dig. Sometimes they bark. Sometimes they steal your socks. Fortunately, dogs are pretty smart, so with a little training, you and your tail waggin' buddy can enjoy each other's company even more than you already do. Your dog is happiest when he knows he is pleasing you - you can see it in his tail. But without training, he may not understand what is 'good dog' behavior and what is 'bad dog' behavior. As far as he knows, he is just doing what comes naturally - - being a dog!
Effective Dog Training: With the BigLeash remote trainer, training your dog is easy, safe, and effective. Remote trainers have been used safely as an effective behavioral training tool for more than forty years. Here's why...
Precise Timing: One of the benefits of using a remote trainer is that the behavior correction can be more precisely applied in association with the behavior. Keeping the training message clear helps your dog learn.
Consistency: Consistency is key. Make your training message precise and keep it consistent and your dog will understand what you expect. He'll be happier and so will you!
Remote Application: There are times when remote application of a behavior correction is important - like when your dog is running away from you. A remote correction is not possible with other training approaches.
DogWatch® training products are safe for your pet and they help keep your pet safe.
The BigLeash Remote Trainer is appropriate for training companion dogs, field trial training and for hunting and sporting dogs.
