Frequently asked questions:

How does a DogWatch Hidden Fence work?

A buried wire carries harmless radio signals around a boundary that you designate.

Your dogs wears a small receiver on his collar that identifies the boundary and warns him when he gets too close.

Will it hurt my dog?

Stimulation has been used in dog training for over 40 years.

The correction is strong enough to reinforce your dog's good behavior, not to hurt him.

Is it an electric fence?

The system runs on radio signals. The transmitter emits a FM signal to the receiver on the dog's collar, which then emits an audible warning to warn your dog when he gets too close to the boundary; followed by a mild correction, if he crosses into the designated signal field.

Once the fence is installed can I just let the dog out?

DogWatch Hidden Fence Systems of Western Mass. recommends a 7 to 10 day training process: twice a day, for a period of 15-20 minutes each.

The training sessions combine both a visual field (flags marking the perimeter) and using specific voice commands.

With proper training your dog will remember the placement of the flags, and with your positive reinforcement, he is easily taught to stay within his perimeter.

Will the Hidden Fence work for more than one dog?

Yes!  There is no limit to the number of dogs, and all receivers can be custom set for each dog contained.

Is the Hidden Fence safe during a lightning storm?

What's the difference between DogWatch and other brands?

DogWatch Hidden Fences should not be confused with Invisible Fence® or Invisible Fencing® which are products and registered trademarks of Invisible Fence, Inc.  A hidden fence is often referred to as “invisible.” Dog fence systems, however, are not all the same.  Exclusive safety and convenience features make DogWatch Hidden Fences the best choice in the pet containment fence industry.

This system, known as SafeLink®, is an exclusive patented DogWatch digital technology that provides your pet with maximum protection from unintentional stimulation caused by stray radio signals. Our competitors brands run on an AM radio frequency that often picks up stray signals and can cause you pet to receive a correction when not near the hidden boundary.

• Our Performance Series R 8 batteries only have to be changed once every two years.

• Our competitors require up to 4 batteries a year, per receiver.

• Our Performance receivers feature our exclusive " Auto-memory". The receiver constantly monitors your dog if he challenges the boundary.

• The DogWatch Performance Series receivers includes our pet friendly "audible" only training level that allows you to train your dog using an audible beep tone before your dog feels a correction.

• DogWatch Performance Series receivers includes our user-friendly programmable receivers, customized by you, for the training level that's correct for your dog.

• Lifetime equipment warranty on your DogWatch Hidden Fence when installed by DogWatch Hidden Fences of Western Mass.

What if I have underground utilities?

DogWatch of Western Mass will mark your property in compliance with Massachusetts DigSafe requirements, and will instruct you to call 1-888-DIGSAFE prior to actual installation.

What is DM? Is this important to me?

Digital modulation (DM) is a generic term. DM is not a form of a signal. In the pet containment industry, all AM and FM signals are DM; similar to what you would find in a car radio.

Fences from Invisible Fence®, Pet Stop®, and other brands all use forms of Amplitude Modulation (AM).  DogWatch is the only vendor in the pet containment industry with Frequency Modulation (FM).

The differences between AM and FM are substantial:

• AM receivers are susceptible to interference from other products such as computers, garage door openers, and televisions.

• FM signals are used by police, fire, and aircraft equipment because the reception is much more immune to interference.

DogWatch is the only manufacturer of Hidden Fences with a patented FM radio signal.

FM is more secure and offers major safety advantages for you and your pet.

And our most frequently asked question:

Will the fence work in the snow?

Yes! The DogWatch Hidden Fence range is usually set to 6 feet, property dependent, which radiates in all directions: above and both sides of the boundary wire. Our exclusive user friendly features on our transmitter allows you to adjust the signal field in heavy snow accumulation, if necessary.
