Hear from Our Customers

We had an Invisible Fence - loved the concept but the follow-up service was expensive and unpleasant. Switched to DogWatch and couldn't be happier! We have 7 large dogs who stay safely inside the property line. If we ever need support, our DogWatch Dealer understands how important it is to get it fixed right away, and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Lower cost, better service, and better product.

If you have an Invisible Fence and are sick of all the fees and limitations with that brand, it's time to upgrade to DogWatch. The absolute BEST feature that I love is the fact that I can control the settings on the collar.

John L., Litchfield, CT

DogWatch came out promptly and helped train our Jack Russell and our Husky. Both have stayed in the fence without issues. The peace of mind is worth the investment. A much better investment than Invisible Fence brand. I had them at one point at another home. I am far more impressed with DogWatch. The collars last longer, and it’s much more affordable with great customer and pet care.

I had the best experience with DogWatch of Chattanooga. On our new home build we decided to try them instead of Invisible Fence whom we had for decades. Richard responded very quickly to our quote request. He was terrific. Excellent service, excellent people, great product, and reasonable cost. I highly recommend DogWatch.

Steve W., Chattanooga, TN

We had quotes from Dog Watch of New Mexico as well as Invisible Fence. The wonderful reviews about Yale's love of dogs along with his professionalism were what won our business. Yale made suggestions to our boundaries that were much better than what we envisioned. Our Molly and Millie will be able to explore while we enjoy sitting on our back porch! Thank you Yale and DogWatch of New Mexico.

Carol W., Santa Fe, NM

I had Invisible Fence as a kid and my dogs were always running through, so I was not at all convinced this would work. DogWatch eased my worries with their containment guarantee and their unique safety features, which we definitely never had with the Invisible Fence system. I can genuinely say the DogWatch team, their support, and their product have given me TOTAL peace of mind. Worth every penny.
