DogWatch Hidden Fence of Santa Barbara was established in early 1993 by Kirk and Karen Nielsen, a husband and wife team who have been Santa Barbara residents for over 45 years. As the original founders of their family-owned and operated DogWatch Dealership, they are 100% committed to the happiness of their customers and safety of their dogs.With over 20 years of combined experience in electronic pet containment and over 2,000 dogs personally trained and contained with the DogWatch containment system, they have worked tirelessly to proudly achieve a success rate of 99.9% . As a small part of 14 years of continued education and training, Kirk and Karen have received one-on-one instruction from Brian Kilcommons, a world renowned and internationally known animal behaviorist and dog trainer.
Kirk also regularly trains and mentors new Dealers for DogWatch Inc. as well as instructs and lectures at our National DogWatch Dealer Conferences on all aspects of containment training of all breeds and personalities of dogs on electronic pet fencing. Kirk and Karen have strived to provide their clients and their families' pets the best possible experience.
They are members of many professional organizations including the A.S.P.C.A. (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals), A.P.D.T. (Association of Pet & Dog Trainers), C.L.C.A. (California Landscape Contractors Association), B.B.B (Santa Barbara Better Business Bureau) just to name a few. They also support many local emergency agencies, schools, and charities.
Personal, prompt, courteous and professional service, experienced exterior and interior installation design, and thorough dog training are what sets them above the rest. Over their tenure, Kirk and Karen have seen other competing brands and dealers come and go. At this point, over 95% of their new work comes via an extensive referral network of happy, satisfied customers, vets, trainers, animal control agencies, pet adoptions facilities and groomers.
