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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Fantastic! We fenced in a 3 acre family compound of 2 homes with 4 dogs and they haven't left the property since. 2 of the dogs used to take off hunting and travel through the bush, swamp, across a highway sometimes etc,.....it was a nightmare. Not one incident since! The batteries don't have to be constantly charged either which is a big help with busy adults..... they lasted 2 years! Dylan the installer was fantastic....the dogs were trained the same day! We did change out one collar because the dogs tend to grab each other by the neck when wrestling and the teeth wore through the fabric collar eventually. One got lost in the winter but was found in the spring and worked 100% perfect after having 2ft of snow piled on it for a couple of months. We replaced the collar with a non-fabric type from Pet Value. There are no regrets here!! Janette Wilberforce. ONT.Posted on Google![]()

Such a game changer.... We have a year old Golden and live on a busy country road with a speed limit that ppl double. Our big fear was our Ivy deciding to chase after that stray cat or rabbit just wanting to play with some one. Nick came, installed, showed us everything we needed to know and left us with everything we needed to get started. Ivy had it down pat in a couple of days. One ball over the line and now there no chance she's going to get get it. Thank you so much Nick you changed the game for us and you were great all around. Highly recommend Dog watch Ann+1Posted on Google![]()

We had Nick over recently to install our Dog Watch unit from our previous home and install a new wire. He was very helpful with answering all our questions and had it all set up cleanly. We are happy to have this great system again in our new house, knowing our dogs are safe to explore our larger yard without wandering into the neighboring farm fields. I would highly recommend DogWatch of Southeastern Ontario for piece of mind on any size property.Posted on Google![]()

Only had the system a few days so we're still in the training mode but already seeing our dogs responding to the boundary flags . I think this will be the best containment system for our dogs. Thanks Nick, great jobPosted on Google![]()

We recently had a fencing system installed on a 3 acre property and so far couldn't be happier with the product and service. Nick and his team were very helpful and professional with any questions or concerns. The install was done with quality and can't beat the warranty they offer. Thank you Dogwatch for your service!Posted on Google![]()

The set up of our fence went very well. Nick was very professional and took the time to explain the set up and the proper way to teach our dog so that she would not be afraid. It is working perfectly and our dog is now happily running in the yard.Posted on Google![]()

This is my 2nd house that we have had a Dog Watch fence installed at. Great product and great service. Nick and his team were responsive, and in under a week I had my fence installed and running. Highly recommend.Posted on Google![]()

Amazing results! We live near a highway and had a few scares with our dog getting out. Nick was great, installation was quick, and the training he provided gave us the confidence to trust the system and have confidence our dog will be safe. Highly recommended.+0Posted on Google![]()

We have been customers of this franchise for 29 years. During this long time we dealt first with Brad, then Keith and Trixie, and now Nick and Pam. Every interaction with all of them has always been outstanding. They are honest, sincere, hardworking, compassionate, kind, efficient, economical, and a absolutely effective. Whether it was the initial installation, subsequent modifications, equipment replacement due to lightning strike, collars or batteries, they have always delivered far above and beyond all expectations - up to and including this morning when Pam added us as a late entry to Nick's schedule to locate and repair the underground Dog Watch wire accidentally severed by a Bell sub-contractor running underground fibre optic cable. Pam and Nick's prompt action kept our three dogs safe and sound as always. Thank you both so, so much from my wife, me, and our three canines. Great work and fantastic support as always. Customers for life!Posted on Google![]()

I cannot say enough about Nic. He was courteous and very knowledgeable! He explained and gave advice as to where and how to put the fence in. I live on a lake with two golden retrievers that love to swim. However they would escape out of the water and run into the woods. Nic figured out how to allow them freedom to swim but contain them so they don’t run away. He and Lacey worked efficiently and were so nice!! I would highly recommend themPosted on Google![]()

I waited a couple weeks before posting a review. My springer pretty much figured it out the same day and both my dogs respect the boundaries. Eric was friendly and a pleasure to work with stating the different options available and made a good case to use his product (dogwatch) over competitors.. It is not cheap but certainly provides the control we needed.Posted on Google![]()

Great people to work with. Installation took place on scheduled date agreed upon and was completed as planned. The install team took the time to inform of the best approach too. Thank you!

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do hidden dog fences work?
Hidden fences are created by burying a ‘boundary wire’ a few inches underground around your property. The buried wire carries a harmless, low level radio signal from a transmitter installed in your house or garage. Your pet wears a lightweight, waterproof receiver collar that recognizes the radio signal. As your pet approaches the buried wire, the receiver collar emits a warning signal (audible or vibration). If your pet travels further, he will receive a mild electrical stimulation (also called a “correction”) from the receiver collar. Through a training program, your pet learns to recognize his fence boundaries and learns to stop at the warning signal. Although there are differences in some of the product features, this is how all hidden fences work (DogWatch®, Invisible Fence® and other radio fence brands.)
With an indoor system, the hidden wire runs around your couch, under the lip of the counter, around the trash or across a doorway or wherever you need to create either a containment area or an “off-limits” area. We also have “wireless” indoor units that do not require placement of a boundary wire. Give us a call to discuss your options.
How does my dog learn where the hidden fence boundary is?
Training is an important part of the process. After we install the hidden fence, we work with you to train your pet. The training includes teaching your pet to recognize the containment area boundaries through a combination of voice commands, audible warning signals from the receiver collar and visual flags that are set in the yard where the pet hears the warning alert. With training, the dog remembers the placement of the flags and associates the flags with the warning signal. As your pet learns, the flags are slowly taken away. Your pet also learns that if he continues beyond the flags and warning alert, he will receive a correction (a mild electrical stimulation from the collar). After training, most dogs do not cross the hidden boundary; they usually stop before the warning signal to avoid the correction.
We will initiate the training and provide instructions and support so you can complete and reinforce the training. After the initial training, your dog goes through a training session with you for a few minutes each day for about two weeks. We will develop a plan to meet the specific training needs of your pet(s).
Will the stimulation from a hidden dog fence collar hurt my dog?
The “stimulation” from the collar is a sensation similar to the static shock you receive after walking across a carpet in your socks. It is a brief, unpleasant sensation designed to deter a pet from leaving the boundary. After training, most dogs do not cross the hidden boundary and thus do not receive a correction.
The electronic stimulation will not “burn” your pet. In rare instances, prolonged or improper use of an electronic collar has resulted in a pet developing pressure sores on their necks. This situation is easily avoided by ensuring that the collar is fit properly and removed regularly. DogWatch strongly recommends removing your dog’s receiver collar daily when not in use.
How much do hidden fences cost?
The cost for a DogWatch Hidden Fence is almost always much less than traditional fencing. The cost varies based on which system is right for you, the number of pets, the size of the property, how many sidewalk and driveway cuts, if you want internal “garden loops”, etc. Contact us for a free consultation and an estimate for your property.
In addition to costing less than traditional fences, hidden fences provide more flexibility and more secure containment than traditional fences. For example, you can contain your dog in your yard, but keep him out of a pool area, garden or driveway gate. Plus, your dog cannot jump over, chew through or dig under a hidden fence. And hidden fences don’t need to be painted and don’t deteriorate like traditional fences.
There usually isn’t much difference in the cost of a DogWatch® fence and other Dealer installed brands (such as Invisible Fence®.) Retail brands may seem to cost less than the Dealer installed brands, but they do not include installation (which can be challenging), training (which is very important), ongoing support or a good Warranty program. Also, Dealer installed products tend to be better quality than retail brands.
Is there a guarantee on the DogWatch Hidden Fence system?
We offer a Lifetime Limited Warranty on our outdoor systems professionally installed by DogWatch of Southeastern Ontario. There is also a limited 30-day money-back guarantee if you are not satisfied with the system.
