To Laurie Spain, Stateline DogWatch -
I would like to thank Laurie for going out of her way and well beyond the call of duty to troubleshoot and fix our Dog Watch system. Laurie put in special effort to contact us, then offered to come out and help us at 7pm the night before Thanksgiving! We had installed the system in 2005 for Nellie (see attached pic) and it has worked without fail until this spring when the line was broke due to a landscape project, followed by a lightning hit. She knows the system inside and out and quickly found cable issues, fixed them and repalced the transmitter.

All this work took just less than an hour, the cost was amazingly low, and she was a wealth of information about the system and best practices for installation and maintenance of the system. Thank you so much for your unselfishness and great service. You did exceed my expectations!

To Shannon and Brent Potvin - DogWatch of Metro Atlanta
My family has two 2-legged kids and two 4-legged kids. We can tell our 2-legged kids to stay in the yard and they do (most of the time). But our 4-legged kids tended to wander, especially our lab/bloodhound mix, Calvin. The Invisible Fence brand just wasn't working and Calvin got out everytime. After researching the DogWatch Hidden Fence I was convinced this was the product for us in helping keep our "problem child" in our yard: FM signal, extended battery life and lightening protection. So I purchased the product and have been pleased with it since day 1. We are a much happier family. Calvin is a much happier dog. Thanks DogWatch Hidden Fence.

To Rich Caron, DogWatch of Appalachia
I wrote earlier this week concerning some problems I was having with my new system. . . .  I received an immediate call from your dealer, Rich Caron, and he came to my house yesterday and helped me with these issues. . . . I want you to know that I am now very satisfied with my system. Your dealer trained my dog so well that I never had to do any further training myself.

(My dog) has never attempted to cross the boundaries. This fence has made him a much happier dog as he can go outside at any time to run and play. It is nice for me not to have him cooped up in the house all the time. I will be recommending your products to my friends and neighbors.

I very much appreciate the ongoing support of your dealer, Rich Caron. I also was thrilled with the photograph he sent me of my dog. . .  I can't say enough about Rich's kindness and sensitivity toward my animals.

I am very much looking forward to finishing the training of my cats so that they will be safer, also. Thank you for such a good product and excellent followup support.

To Lori Russell - DogWatch Hidden Fences of Tampa Bay
(formerly DogWatch of SE Pennsylvania)
Dear Lori: Thank you so much for solving our Siberian Husky problem. We had a lot of trouble containing our Husky with a competitive brand. Our dog, Moby, did not even break stride as he walked through the boundaries. We were planning on building a run for his safety since the competitive brand failed to contain him. Then we received a recommendation from a friend about the Dog Watch system. We immediately called and were pleased by your knowledgeable insight into our specific problems and the prompt attention we received. With the Dogwatch system, we have successfully managed to train our Husky and keep him safe, with the added bonuses of a more economical system (batteries) and friendly personal customer service.

Thank you very much for sending me the replacement collar so quickly. I want to thank you for warranting your product even after almost 10 years of use. I was not sure that your company would honor it after such a long time. I am glad I purchased your system and would recommend your pet fences to anyone. It has allowed my family and me to enjoy all six of our beagles and also allowed them to enjoy the freedom of being able to run, play and exercise. I know my beagles enjoy healthier and happier lives because of the DogWatch system.
Thank you very much for a great product.
Sincerely,
William J. Dowd, Hampton, NJ
To Robert Girolami - DogWatch of the Carolina Coast
I had purchased an Invisible Fence brand system that was not working. The DogWatch representative was much more helpful than the Invisible Fence representative so I changed to a DogWatch system. It was a pleasure working with Robert!
Stephanie Harben, Wilmington, NC
To Tim Smith - DogWatch of Sarasota
I made the decision to purchase a DogWatch Hidden Fence to keep our one year old lab in our yard. Most of my neighbors had purchased the Invisible Fence brand. I had their representative come out and give me a quote. I went on the internet and found another company DogWatch. I talked to their representative and found the technology and cost was better with DogWatch. DogWatch uses FM band whereas the Invisible Fence uses AM band. The battery used by DogWatch lasts 2 years whereas the Invisible Fence company replaces their battery every 3 months and they can only be purchased from Invisible Fence. The local representative from DogWatch was Tim Smith. He was very comfortable to work with and was most patient with all my questions. He also did a fabulous job installing the system. I am a very happy and satisfied customer. Thanks.

To Michael Kinneer - DogWatch of Southeast Ohio
We love the DogWatch system and so does our lab, "Bear". We have trained him three times a day for seven days now. He is running in or yard and we are now training him to catch a frisbee, which is going to take a little longer than the training for the DogWatch system.

The local dealer, Mike, is a compassionate dog lover and this fence has made it possible for Bear to run in the yard and not be on a leash. Listen to this education and you can't go wrong!
P.K. and Paula, Cambridge, OH
To Hudson Valley DogWatch
I purchased the containment system to protect our Ridgeback puppy and our new shelter dog from running off of our seven-acre property and I was so impressed with, not only the system, but the service that Dave and his team provided us. Dave is obviously a qualified dog-trainer and understands how to quickly, and efficiently, teach the dogs about the property boundaries and understands the dog's response to the system so that the settings can be set for that individual dog.

After our great experience with the containment system, we also purchased the "Big Leash" Remote Trainer for the Ridgeback and, within a day or two, she stopped tackling running children and listened and learned the commands we were trying to teach her . It saved us a ton of money on the trainer that we were about to hire. We also bought a few "Skedaddle" systems to keep her from counter-surfing. We move them around as we need them (placing one on a table outside when we have food on it; another in front of a doorway when we don't want her to enter a specific room) and, after our last Ridgeback ruled our life with his food obsessions, we are so relieved that we do not have to deal with that this time around.

In addition to the amazing products, Dave and his team have the most amazing follow-up consultations I have ever seen in a company. The experience is not just one training session and a manual. They have extensive follow-up calls to see how things are going and their staff is professional and reliable. This is probably what separates them for many of the other companies out there.
Customer from Kinue Millbrook, NY
To Lori Russell - DogWatch Hidden Fences of Tampa
(formerly DogWatch of SE Pennsylvania)
When my husband and I first began researching hidden pet fences we found many options available. We had never personally seen any of them in use so we had to start from the beginning. When we narrowed them down we had three different companies come to our house to show us what they have to offer. DogWatch pet fences were far above the others in terms of both features and training. I especially liked the extra-long battery life that none of the others could come close to matching.

We were also concerned that a hidden fence would not be a possible option for our 8-month old Alaskan Malamute as many people said dogs of her breed were too difficult to train and would run through the fence. We have proven them all wrong! During the first week McKinley did test the fence just once and ran through. I was very concerned and called Lori Russell who reassured me that this does happen in the beginning as they are learning. The very next day we were back to reinforce to McKinley what she had learned that first day. It was great knowing that if we ever have any concerns or questions they would be there to help us. Of course, we have not had one incident since!

I now do not have to worry that McKinley will run away when we are playing fetch and running around outside. The additional exercise she gets now makes her a much happier dog when she is inside (a tired and happy dog!) and I know she would love to thank Lori and DogWatch as well for enriching her life with the great outdoors! Thanks for everything...I don't know how we managed without our DogWatch fence!
M. Dougherty
To Dave Benfield - DogWatch of Central Florida 
We are so happy with your fence system! Your installer, Neal Watson is simply THE BEST! He is knowledgeable - not only about the fence system, but about dogs in general. His training skills are wonderful, he has the patience of ten men and his demeanor is friendly and kind. The system is working great for our Cooper - and gives us great peace of mind knowing he can romp around and get all his energies spent and we don't have to worry about him leaving our yard. Thanks so much to DogWatch and Neal.

To Shane Brzezinski - DogWatch Central Wisconsin
I purchased the DogWatch Hidden Fence System three years ago when my dog was one year old, it was the best investment I ever made. I live on a busy highway and I can let my dog run outdoors without worrying about her running out into the road. What is really great about this system is the battery in the collar is guaranteed to last for two years. Actually, after three years it is the first time I had to change the battery. So it lasted a whole year longer than expected. When I called Shane, my dealer, for a new battery it arrived in the mail the very next day.

To Mark and Laurie Spain - Stateline DogWatch
Sometimes it is worth taking the time to let someone know that their costomer service went above and beyond expectation. Stateline DogWatch came to my house to install the fence within days of my inquaries. Explained how to work with the fence and my dog to have the most success. They were wonderful.
Julie Burfoot
To Ty Kretzinger - DFW DogWatch 
Thank you for the outstanding service and patience you've extended to me and my family. You met our time constraints, honored your bid and sent a very efficient and knowledgeable crew to install the system and provide initial training for our dog. 

About your installers, Ryan and Paul: They were not only very efficient and knowledgeable, but extremely friendly and "invested" in us and our dog, Max. They were quick to listen and offer insights, and they were also very helpful in explaining the system, etc. In short, they went above and beyond the call of duty. If I were in the business, I'd hire them.

I am very pleased with your company and product. I will be recommending you to anyone who asks or I find out is seeking an underground pet containment system. Blessings to you, your family and company.
William Coull, Wylie, TX
To Mark and Laurie Spain- Stateline DogWatch
Laurie and Stateline DogWatch did a fantastic job setting up a system for our black Labrador Retriever, Obi-wan. It worked perfectly!! We followed the 2 week training plan that Laurie provided but quickly figured out that he was trained by the 3rd day... simply amazing. The parade of furry visitors we have through our yard had us worried but he never left the yard.
The installation was performed very professionally; lightening protected, no exposed wires and no unsealed holes between the controller and the yard. The hardware is holding up very well rain or shine.
Thanks again Stateline for a job well done!
Mike Salem, Electrical Engineer
To Lori Russell - DogWatch Hidden Fences of Tampa Bay
(formerly DogWatch of Southeast PA)
I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful 1st day Cricket has had w/ her new freedom. The 1st few times I had her out she mainly stuck close to the house and I'd have to tug @ her to go near the flags. She knew better and didn't want anything to do w/ them. Each time I took her out the better she felt. She ran like a wild puppy, romped and played in the snow and had such a great time. She wandered towards the flags twice and turned right around at the 1st little beep. I was so proud of her!!! I just wanted to let you know what a positive investment this was for our pup. Thanks for taking all the time that you did training us & working w/ Cricket!
Pat and Rod Pfoutz
To David Rodenberry - DogWatch of Central Georgia
We purchased two systems from David eight years ago and I would recommend him to everyone! His service is exceptional and has been for the entire eight years that we've had the fence. He has always been available and prompt when you have a problem.
Kathy Ramey
To Maryann Bean - DogWatch of the Endless Mountains
Mary Ann is so informative, professional, punctual, accommodating and most importantly has great manners and is nice to talk with. We are very excited at how perfect this system works for our family including our 4 dogs and 1 cat. We would also like to thank Mary Ann for the tremendous job she did in the installation and training of Scamp, Buddy & Sheba on our DogWatch Hidden Fence System. We can now let them run with our children in the yard and not worry that they will run into the road. Even the neighbors that walk and jog on the road don't have to worry that they will chase them. The peace of mind it has given us is priceless. To my knowledge no other underground dog fence service offers what you do and in my mind that makes it an obviously easy choice to single out Dogwatch above the rest.
Joseph & ReBecca Zawisky
To Dave Benfield - DogWatch of Central Florida
Having four German Shepherds in a residential area with no fence and the outdoor trail system running through the backyard would be a challenge for most. But with our  DogWatch Hidden Fence we have no worries!
 
You are always quick to respond to any problems that may occur, usually at the hands of the lawn company, and your friendly nature and gentle spirit is something I have come to expect and you have not let me down.
 
Thank you for not only helping me keep my dogs safe in their yard but also offering a sense of comfort to my outdoor loving neighbors!

Lori:  I just wanted to let you know how much we are enjoying the new fence system!!!  My Hugo is so much more content and happy to be outside.  It didn't take long at all for him to train to the system.  Not once has he crossed the line to leave the yard since your last visit to train him. We LOVE it!!  This was the best decision we could have made for our family. Thanks so much again!!!!
Sherry Nelson
To Chris Dolan - DogWatch of Greater Gainesville/Ocala
I had to have something done quickly so we wouldn't lose our beloved pit, Amish, a wonderful dog and great companion to our family. I worked days and my husband who has dementia would let the dog out during the day not knowing the trouble he would get into visiting his friends, the dogs behind our home. Chris came into our life offering a solution but we had little money on hand to accept your offer. When Chris heard this, he said he would accept payments so Amish would be safe and I could work and not worry. We now have our fence, and Amish is safe. Chris continued to work with my dog for a few days and did not leave it all up to the owner. We thank you for the compassion you have shared with us to keep our dog safe and put our mind at ease.
Kathryn Dborak
To Peter Harvey - DogWatch of SE Wisconsin
Pete has been TIRELESS in his support of our very difficult 3 year old golden. He has come out and trouble shot our system and given us countless pieces of advice. I am very happy we chose DogWatch over Invisible Fence. Pete has been awesome.
Robert Ford
To David Wingfield- Hudson Valley Boundaries
For you dog owners with challenging dogs, or dogs you have been told will be difficult to train to an invisible fence, know this:  Dogwatch Dave at Hudson Valley Boundaries will get the job done.  Dave took on the ultimate challenge of a dog named Nomad ( who came with his name, and had a long history of living up to it) and came up with novel ideas which were absolutely the key in keeping this dog contained. 

Look no further, you have found the man who will patiently work through the training process for your challenging, but oh-so-special canine companion.
Laurel Okorofsky
To DogWatch of Northern Florida
My neighbor and I have 40 acres and 6 dogs, combined.  It had been our desire to link 32-34 acres of our properties so the dogs could interact and would also stay out of the deer plots on the remaining land.  We tried a do-it-yourself system from the builder’s supply but it did not have the power to stop our dogs from violating the perimeter and the customer service folks at that company could not help us. So, after a couple of years of trying one thing or another and then nothing for a while, I noticed your ad in the yellow pages that said it was for acreage. 

DogWatch pet fence was effective from the outset.  That is due in part to the hardware and in part to the time that you spent working with our dogs.

Finally, I want to acknowledge and thank you for the service-after-sale.  We've had breaks in the wire from deer hooves (particularly in swampy areas) and even from an armadillo.  The repairs have been prompt and accomplished patiently.  Likewise, when we added a dog, you responded very soon after notice and worked to acclimate her to the system. 

Thank you for providing a great product and for the manner in which you deliver it and provide support.
Sincerely,
James Parham

To Donna & Jack - DogWatch of Delaware Valley
Ken and I want to thank you for the tremendous job you did in the installation and training of Pepper on our DogWatch Hidden Fence System.

Some years ago on a former property I had dogs on the Invisible Fence System for over 15 years so I was familiar with the concept of having a dog trained on this type of system. While researching pet fences for dogs for our current property I became interested in Dogwatch initially because of the FM technology and the advantages it offered over the other competitor’s system. After speaking with Donna on the phone I became aware how much more individualized and comprehensive the training is with each dog that is trained with the Dogwatch system and felt it offered a big advantage over any other system I researched.

As I mentioned we had two dogs trained on The Invisible Fence system back in the mid 1980s. Immediately after installation of the system the training basically consisted of showing the dogs the flags, giving a correction and having the pet owner take it from there. While some dogs do okay with this method - it does not take into consideration each dog’s unique needs, temperament etc. We had an older female black lab that, after receiving the first correction, was very fearful to leave the house and go out into the yard. The initial correction / training was too rushed for her and she would crouch and cower on the lawn upon going out the door. Needless to say it caused us a lot of heartache to see her so scared to go out into her own yard!

Because of the time you took to get to know Pepper and therefore train and progress at a pace that worked for him - he is not only safe but HAPPY in his yard. To my knowledge no other underground dog fences service offers what you do and in my mind that makes it an obvious and easy choice to single out Dogwatch above the rest. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!    Sincerely,
Sandy Otton

I wanted to write a little note to compliment you on your professional and courteous customer service as well as the quality and performance of your product. I have had the privilege of owning several dogs over the last twenty some years and through those years I have had the opportunity to purchase various forms of pet fences for dogs to keep mine safe and at home. I am pleased to say that after approximately six years of using the DogWatch System (and numerous dogs) I still feel it is the best product on the market.

I have used with much difficultly one of your competitors underground dog fences and was not only disappointed with its ability to contain my dogs, but their customer service did not even compare to yours. When my dogs were on your competitors system they would constantly beat the fence by draining the batteries on the average of one a week. At one point, your competitor suggested that my three German Shepards wear two collars each. This technique was not successful. Beyond the cost factor, the safety of my dogs was significantly jeopardized. We were at out wits end and planning to invest thousands of dollars to physically fence in our 4.5 acres with traditional fencing. I found DogWatch on the internet, purchased one of your pet fences and have not a problem since. I currently have two Akitas and one Shepherd who are very happy and safe staying at home.
Warmest regards,

To Lori Russell - DogWatch of Southeast PA
Mike and I are so pleased with the Hidden Fence System from Dog Watch.  The Fence combined with great service made the experience so satisfying.  We were really worried about our Gigi, as she is so active, and chases everything.  Thought for sure she’d go through it.  But, both Gigi and her sister Sydney are doing so great!   They get so much exercise and love the freedom to run and play, and chase to a certain point.  By the end of the day they are so exhausted and ready to relax.  I would highly recommend you and Dog Watch, as it provides a safe and comforting way to allow our girls their freedom.  Thanks Again!
Deb & Mike Gaugler
To Scott Kriger - DogWatch by Kriger Fence
First off let me say what a pleasure it was doing business with you. The time you took to explain everything about your fence system was reassuring. The book was helpful, the DVD was helpful, but the fact that you came to our home and actually showed us how to train our dog to use the fence left me feeling completely comfortable. Everyone was pleasant and friendly.

It's also nice to know that if we have a problem with the system, or even if our dog decides to ignore it, we have someone to turn to for help. The peace of mind it has given us is priceless. We can let Tea' run with our children in the yard and not worry that she will run into the road. Even the neighbors that walk and jog on the road don't have to worry that she will chase them.

Thank you so much for helping us keep our Tea' safe, and for the friendly service.

To Fred and Nicole Valiquette, K-9 Containment - VT
We purchased a DogWatch pet fence several years ago. It's a great system, and works for even the most "bone-headed" dog on earth - our chocolate Lab. The Valiquette's did a great job installing it exactly where and how we wanted it. I've recommended you folks many times to many people who were looking for fences for dogs and wondered how we kept our dog contained. She loves being able to run around our property, keeps her weight down, and keeps out of danger from cars in the road. Very cool. And much more attractive than a chain-link fence.

To Tom Gray and Ken Bentley - DogWatch of South Florida
I am writing this letter in hopes that this can reach the owner of this great organization, to inform them of how wonderful Ken Bentley, Tom Gray and Jim are. These individuals work in the South Florida area. From the sale of this great product to the installation it has been nothing but a great knowledgeable experience. These gentlemen were so informative, professional, punctual, accommodating and most importantly great manners and nice to talk with. All they wanted was for the customer to be happy no matter what it took. I made changes after they had completed the job and they were so generous in taking their own time to make the change I wanted. They took as much time as I needed to explain the system and how it works until I was comfortable with using it.

It is so great to see that this kind of professionalism is still out there. It is not too often you find dedicated and enthusiastic professionals who take pride in their work and believe so much in the service and product they are providing you. As a business owner myself I would be extremely thrilled and grateful if I had such wonderful individuals on my team representing my company. You should be honored.

I am very excited to see how great this system works for my family including my three dogs. I wish I would have gotten this 6 years ago!!! I will definitely spread the word about your underground dog fences and the individuals I have encountered during this project.  Sincerely,

We want to tell you how much we all love DogWatch Hidden Fence. Maggie is doing so well with it, within the first few days she was doing great. The big test was Easter Sunday when my whole family showed up at once and Maggie stayed right in the yard and waited very patiently for everyone to come over that line and say hello, I was very impressed!! She really did catch on quick! Thank you for everything!
Kathy Doran
To Jeff Chase - DogWatch of the Mid-South
We recently moved to a new home on a golf course. Naturally, we didn't want pet fences spoiling our view, but even more importantly, we didn't want our Scottish terriers Nicklaus and Palmer to be restricted by walking with a leash. Our DogWatch system was the perfect solution! Our Scotties are free to run and play with us, and we all love it! Terriers tend to be a bit determined, but each of them only "tested" the system once. It has been a terrific experience, and Jeff's presentation, installation, support and follow-up have been superb! I highly recommend DogWatch and Jeff Chase! Thanks a million!

(DogWatch of Southeat PA)
Lori - I just want to say THANK YOU again for the quick response in getting our DogWatch fence installed. Reno (our Rottweiler) is doing great...it only took 1 day for him to learn the ropes. We were at our wit's end with putting him on the 30 foot lead. We had to replace it twice in one month. When I told people that we were getting the DogWatch fence installed, they were skeptical. Two people indicated that there was NO WAY it would hold him. Well, I'm happy to say...they are wrong!!! You guys are great...and I'd recommend DogWatch underground dog fences to everyone. Thanks for your professionalism and help through the process.

To Curt Little - DogWatch of Central Indiana
I have sent you my comments before when I first bought my fence. I told you how happy I was and how great the fence works. It has been two years since my fence was installed and I just want to let you know that I am so happy with it still. The SERVICE is second to none and the value and protection for my dog and family is first class. I have met others who have the competitor's pet fences and have nothing but bad luck and awful service. I tell them about how I can call Curt and have a new collar for Zoey in a matter of minutes or  troubleshoot my fence or collar right over the phone. A solution is a "right away" thing with Curt. He never leaves me without my fence. I have bought items that cost a ton of more money and never gotten this kind of service. I just wanted to say THANK YOU and tell you again how much I LOVE MY DOGWATCH FENCE. I can never say enough good things about our fence and Curt!

To Donna Winters - DogWatch of Delaware Valley
Hi Donna:
I wanted to drop you a line to tell you what happened this morning (or what didn't happen.) Bailey, Lola and Jesse are barking in unison non-stop while I'm trying to get a few more ZZZs in. I get up to open the slider to let them out and give myself some peace. As I'm watching, all three of them b-line it toward the field in the back. I'm thinking there's no way they can brake in time to not cross over because they are flying so fast. I instinctively yell out my motherly "CAREFUL!" All of a sudden I see three big deer galloping away in the other direction. Smart deer! All three dogs stop right before the line and watch the deer go off. (I need to check for skid marks later on.)

When they finally came back in later I realized (as usual) Lola's collar wasn't on (Jesse pulled it off again). Even with her collar off and with three big deer they (all three) stopped short of the boundary line. This DogWatch fence is truly working incredibly and we are very pleased with it and with our decision to go with you versus going with competitor pet fences. I really think that the training all came in their first two days and the rest was just reinforcement. You are a wonderful trainer! I wanted to write to thank you for their safety, for our peace of mind and wish you a peaceful and hopefully snowy Christmas!

Pete Harvey - DogWatch of SE Wisconsin
I first had an experience in Maryland with Gary Glaser...I thought he was wonderful to work with and very thorough and followed through. I since have moved to Wisconsin...and now am dealing with Pete Harvey. What a great experience. What great people you have working for this company. I am so impressed. In today's world when customer service and quality don't appear to be foremost in a company's mind...that's not the case for DogWatch. Your folks are extremely professional, personal and customer service-oriented. I recommend your underground dog fences and services to all my friends. Thanks for making our "electronic fencing" experience a great one.

To Dave Benfield - DogWatch of Central Florida
Normally I don't send thank you letters, but it is rare you purchase something for your home that seems to be worth every penny and the company is easy to deal with.

The system works exactly as you outlined it to be before the purchase. Fletch (my 90 pound Weimaraner) had been roaming the neighborhood and wreaking havoc. Then we had the system installed. We were skeptical. Fletch is a large dog and doesn't seem to catch on quickly.

Your installer, Alex, was extremely helpful in explaining and assisting in the training of Fletch. The follow-up was great as well. We even had the line severed by the cable company and Alex came right out to repair the underground dog fences’ broken line and get the system up and working. Also, we had several follow-up questions in the weeks after the installation and Alex was there to answer. Great service.

Now our neighbors, like us again, and Fletch can be left out in the yard. He roams the yard, but does not leave the confines of the yard. We simply don't have to worry about him getting loose anymore. Having this peace of mind that he will not bother the neighbors, and he is SAFE made the purchase worth every penny.

My family (and my neighbors) thank you and your company.
S. J. Holloran
To Dave Benfield -DogWatch of Central Florida
Dear Dave: Thanks to you and Alex for installing the DogWatch Hidden Fence last March. You have unlocked our yard for us.

Having two large dogs living near the water in Florida can be a dangerous thing. I often times see alligators on the lake and know that my labs wouldn't stand a chance against them. We installed a regular fence but this restricted the family to a small portion of our 2 acre yard. Installing the hidden fence has allowed our family to spend time together no matter where we are on our property. We now have the added security that the dogs are safe without having to take a second mortgage.

My wife also loves the benefit of not having to watch the dogs when the front and side doors are open. Also, with two kids under four I can't tell you how good that makes her feel.

I appreciate your patience when we were deciding on what to do. When we finally decided on your pet fences the installation process was quick and professional. You were right - when properly trained, the fence works like a charm.

Please feel free to have any potential buyers looking for fences for dogs that are sitting on the "fence" to call me. I'll be happy to help them see the benefits we have been enjoying.

To Lee Myers - DogWatch of Charlotte Company

Just to let you know, I dealt with one of your authorized dealers today. His name is Lee Myers and he covers the Charlotte/Lake Norman area. My (transmitter) quit working last night. I panicked. It was such a relief to find out that the (transmitter) had a lifetime warrantee. It was very nice to come home and have a working system again. I have two labs which I love very much. I have been a customer since 1993 and I tell people from everywhere of your great system and (you) even offer to help train their pet if they purchase it from you. Thank you very much and it makes me proud to be a customer of Dogwatch. Thanks to Lee Myers!

Dear Tom: I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and your company for installing DogWatch at my home. I was very pleased with Mike and Ken's efficiency and courtesy throughout the entire process. Mike was very kind assisting with the training.

 

We all have busy schedules and I appreciate the prompt service I received from you and everyone involved. Once again, thank you for the exceptional customer service.

(formerly DogWatch of Southeast PA)
We're so glad we had Dogwatch put in our Hidden Fence System - our lab loved to run away as soon as he got outside, but since we've put in the fence, he hasn't left our property once......not even when other dogs come by. The system has never given us a problem and when we did call for a new battery or questions regarding training, Lori's response was always prompt and professional. She was also very patient and gave us the encouragement we needed with the initial training. We liked our system so much, we recommended it to our neighbors who have two dogs, one which we thought would never stay on his property , but it works great for them now as well. What a relief it is to be able to go outside and know that your dog is safe within the boundaries of your property. Thank you, Dogwatch!

I just wanted to commend Rick Battalino on his service that was so prompt and communicative - for we dealt with another (competitor) dealer from our area and got nowhere a few years ago. Rick is the best!

To Curt Little - DogWatch of Central Indiana
I've had one of your pet fences for over a year now and I will tell you there are so many great reasons I chose yours over the other fences for dogs. I did an interview with all the systems out there and Curt Little was the top of the line - selling me the system with his honest answers. The presentation was above the others - he was not the cheapest but not the most expensive either. It was all the extras your company offered to make sure my fence would fit all my needs. I tell everyone how much I love my fence and would not trade it for any other of the fences for dogs out there even if they gave me my money back. Curt is prompt to any calls or concerns. He is an asset to your company and really supports your product to the fullest. I just wanted to take a moment to tell you how lucky you are to have him as part of your team. Please feel free to use me as a contact for anyone interested in DogWatch. I am sure they will love it as much as my family does.

I had a problem with PetSafe and called Bob. He was very helpful coming (out) even though I wasn't a customer yet. I really like this system better.

To Jim VanZant - DogWatch of NE Ohio

I am writing to let you know how happy I've been, not only with our hidden fence, but also with your company in general. I've called with questions, scheduling issues, etc. and Sharon has been so helpful and pleasant that she's one reason I'm compelled to write. The biggest reason I'm writing is to say what a great assest you have in Don. He is extremely timely, knowledgeable, helpful and just a pleasure to work with all around. I am very impressed by your product and the customer service your company provides. My dogs are very important to me and I truly appreciate how much DogWatch has given me the security of the safety.

To Scott Kriger - DogWatch By Kriger Fence, Pennsylvania
We own 2 coon hounds. One, the Walker, weighs approximately 90 lbs and is one year old. The other, a Black & Tan, is 7 months old. We live in the country and tried to let the dogs roam. Both are inside dogs and when nature called, we could not let them run free, for their "noses" always got them in trouble. Everything that passed through our yard, its scent was devoured by their noses and off they went. We quickly found out we could not let them run free. When nature called, we would taken them out on leashes or tie them up. My wife has emphysema and two trips outside with both dogs was very hard for her. Our solution? Call Kriger Fence. Scott Kriger returned our call immediately and came to our home. He gave us an estimate and explained how the system worked. We were so pleased with his courtesy, appearance, and professionalism that we called and scheduled an installation no more than 10 minutes after his departure. The DogWatch system was installed within a week, and Scott returned to help us train the dogs. Our coon hounds run free now that they know their boundaries. It is so nice to just open the door and let them out. Our only regret? Why didn't we call Kriger Fence sooner. Thanks, again, Scott and all at Kriger Fence.

To Guy Treanor - DogWatch of the Twin Cities, Minneapolis
I'll have to admit I did not want to have a hidden fence system installed when we purchased two golden retriever puppies four years ago. My husband saw all the problems I had walking two dogs outside in the yard (and so) we had the DogWatch fence system installed. The dogs were easily trained and I really love it. I feel good about letting the dogs out without having to go with them every time as we live near some busy highways and I had a fear of the dogs getting hit by a car. It works great and I love it!

Hi Lori, It has been 5 years since we had the DogWatch fence installed on our property. I was really worried that it would not work for my Jack Russel terrier. She was extremely active. Everyone said that it will not contain her. Well, you told me it would and it did. She has not gone through it at all. One night she was barking outside and I went out to see what it was that she was barking at. I looked up in the dark and there was a Buck Deer standing 5 feet away from our property line. And further back, there was the rest of the herd. Our Jack Russel did not go through. It was really remarkable. For anyone who has a Jack Russel Terrier, you know what I mean. With the DogWatch fence, she is very happy dog and we are very happy. Thank You!

To DogWatch of Greater Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas
I just wanted to tell you again how pleased my family is with the DogWatch indoor system you installed in our home for our Saint Bernards. It truly amazes me that my puppies learned "the ropes" in less than day with the training and techniques. It's such a better life for all of us not to yell at the dogs when they chase the cat in the formal living room, or eat all her food in the laundry room in a split second. We no longer have any worries as to where the dogs are at any given moment - they are always where they are supposed to be. AND best of all - the baby gates are now stored in the closet - baby gates are a huge hassle and can never be a sensible solution to keeping dogs contained in a house. We are just thrilled with the system and will highly recommend it to anyone with inside dogs. It was well worth the price, without question.

To Dana Tomlinson - DogWatch of Northern Colorado
I would like to take this opportunity to tell you how much we like your product. We have a small 80-acre ranch and run a few head of cattle and we also have two full grown black labs that love to run.

With us living in the country, it is just too much area to run and we do not like to see dogs chained up. Before DogWatch we would get phone calls from neighboring farms and ranches complaining that the dogs were bothering their chickens or other animals. DogWatch was just what we needed. We have three acres just around the house that the dogs can run and play as much as they want and they stay off the roadway and stay out of the cow pastures and barn area. We love it!

We just inherited a small Cocker Spaniel from our daughter and as she is just a puppy now, we want to train her as well to stay in the home boundaries. Thank you again. A Happy Wyoming Customer.
