# DogWatch > DogWatch is the original hidden dog fence company, founded in 1990 and based in Massachusetts. It designs and sells underground/hidden dog fences, indoor pet boundaries, GPS wireless fences, and electronic training collars, sold and installed through a network of local, independently owned dealers across the US, Canada, and internationally. DogWatch is often confused with the generic term "invisible fence," which is actually a separate registered trademark of Invisible Fence, Inc. DogWatch differentiates itself with patented FM SafeLink® signaling (vs. AM signals used by competitors), two-year collar battery life, Pet-Friendly™ training methods, and a lifetime limited equipment warranty. Products are purchased and installed via local dealers rather than direct retail. ## Products - [Outdoor Hidden Dog Fences](https://www.dogwatch.com/products/outdoor-hidden-fences/): Underground boundary wire fence systems for containing dogs in a yard. - [SmartFence](https://www.dogwatch.com/products/outdoor-hidden-fences/smartfence/): Entry-level outdoor hidden fence system. - [ProFence](https://www.dogwatch.com/products/outdoor-hidden-fences/profence/): Mid-tier outdoor hidden fence system. - [ProFenceX](https://www.dogwatch.com/products/outdoor-hidden-fences/profencex/): Advanced outdoor hidden fence system. - [1200Fence](https://www.dogwatch.com/products/outdoor-hidden-fences/1200fence/): High-capacity outdoor hidden fence system for larger properties/multiple dogs. - [SkyShepherd GPS Dog Fence](https://www.dogwatch.com/products/outdoor-hidden-fences/skyshepherd-gps-dog-fence/): GPS-based wireless containment system, no buried wire required. - [Indoor Pet Fences](https://www.dogwatch.com/products/indoor-electronic-dog-fences/): Indoor boundary systems to keep pets off furniture, out of rooms, or away from counters. - [MB-1 Wireless Indoor/Outdoor Fence](https://www.dogwatch.com/products/indoor-electronic-dog-fences/mb-1-indoor-outdoor-wireless-dog-fence/): Wireless indoor/outdoor boundary unit, no buried wire. - [MB-2 Dual Function Indoor Fence](https://www.dogwatch.com/products/indoor-electronic-dog-fences/mb-2-dual-function-indoor-dog-fence/): Indoor fence with dual containment/off-limits functionality. - [Cat Fences](https://www.dogwatch.com/products/cat-fences/): Hidden fence systems adapted for cats. - [Electronic Dog Training Collars](https://www.dogwatch.com/products/electronic-dog-training-collars/): Standalone training tools separate from containment fences. - [BigLeash Remote Trainer](https://www.dogwatch.com/products/electronic-dog-training-collars/remote-trainers/bigleash-s-15-remote-trainer/): Remote-controlled training collar. - [BarkCollar BT-7](https://www.dogwatch.com/products/electronic-dog-training-collars/no-bark-collars/barkcollar-bt-7-no-bark-trainer/): No-bark training collar. - [SideWalker SW-5](https://www.dogwatch.com/products/electronic-dog-training-collars/sidewalker-sw-5-leash-trainer/): Leash-training collar. - [Trade-in Opportunities](https://www.dogwatch.com/products/trade-in-opportunities/): Program for upgrading from competitor or older DogWatch systems. - [DogWatch Store](https://www.dogwatch.com/dogwatch-store/): Online shop for accessories, parts, and supplies. ## About & Differentiation - [About DogWatch](https://www.dogwatch.com/about-dogwatch/): Company background;
