The next generation of hidden dog fences

Exclusive Features

Status Alerts

The SmartFence is designed to keep you informed, with customized notifications that tell you exactly what you need to know. This crucial safety information includes: DogWatch SmartCollar® battery status alerts, boundary wire break alerts, power loss alerts, system connectivity alerts and boundary challenge alerts. You can add multiple contacts - such as family members, pet sitters or dog walkers - and choose which notifications or email messages you want them to receive.

Activity Tracking

Monitor your pet’s daily, weekly, and monthly activity levels. Find out if your dog has been Active, Moderately Active, Lightly Active, or Resting.

Monitor System Settings

Review your system settings anytime, anywhere. The DogWatch SmartFence® App displays your DogWatch SmartCollar® training level and the Transmitter’s training mode, rate, frequency and range.

SafeLink®

Our patented digital SafeLink® FM technology provides the maximum protection against false activation caused by stray radio signals. FM technology is less prone to interference than the AM systems used by other brands, and that makes DogWatch the most secure hidden fence available.

FastReact®

DogWatch has the fastest reaction time in the industry. If your dog runs at the boundary, the receiver reacts with the warning signal before he reaches the wire, not while he is traveling over it.

AutoMemory®

Our patented AutoMemory feature automatically adjusts the correction after your pet challenges the boundary. This discourages additional boundary challenges. If your pet challenges the boundary with the receiver set to level 4, 5 or 6, AutoMemory will be initiated. For the next 24 hours, the correction will be equivalent to the next level if the dog attempts to re-enter the signal field. For example, if AutoMemory is triggered with the receiver set at level 4, the correction will be equivalent to level 5 for the next 24-hours. After 24 hours with no boundary challenges, the correction returns to the original setting.

TattleTale™

If your pet challenges his boundary, the status light on the receiver double flashes, an indication that you may need to adjust the fence settings. The receiver resets after 24 hours without a boundary challenge. TattleTale™ is a patented safety feature from DogWatch. With your DogWatch SmartFence App, you can view and track your pet’s daily, weekly, and monthly boundary challenges via the TattleTale graph.

Longest Battery Life

The DogWatch SmartCollar® battery lasts up to one year, compared to 3-4 months for most other pet containment systems. Fewer batteries are good for your wallet and better for the environment. And, most importantly, safer for your pet!

Receiver Status Light

DogWatch receivers have a unique status light that provides valuable information to help keep your pet safely in your yard. It also lets you know if the receiver battery is low and if your pet has recently challenged the hidden fence.

Audible Warning Alert

The DogWatch SmartFence® includes an audible warning signal to alert your dog that he is approaching the boundary. Your pet quickly learns to stop at the warning signal – before he reaches the hidden wire.

GentleFit™ Contact Posts

Optional GentleFit™ Contact Posts are easy on your dog’s skin. They are smooth like our standard stainless steel contact posts to minimize friction and low profile for a comfortable Pet-Friendly™ fit.

High Impact, Waterproof

The DogWatch SmartCollar® is tested to withstand the harsh outdoor elements of rain, sleet and snow, as well as rigorous play!

Automatic Shutdown

The DogWatch system is designed to protect your pet from an over-correction in the unlikely event that your dog stands in the signal field and does not quickly exit. The receiver will automatically reset once the dog leaves the signal field.

Lightning Protection

DogWatch Hidden Fences include the very best lightning/surge protection available as a standard feature. External protection directs power surges and lightning away from your home; internal protection suppresses surges coming in through your house wiring.

PowerPak™

Our optional PowerPak keeps your fence working temporarily if you lose power. With a PowerPak, you have added protection to ensure your pet’s safety. Provides up to 8 hours of backup protection.

Loop Monitor

Our Loop Monitor alerts you if there is a break in the boundary wire. This is an invaluable safety feature for underground fences. With your DogWatch SmartFence® App, you can check on the status of your boundary wire anytime, and be alerted to any breaks or disruptions.

Range Setting

You can adjust the signal range (the distance the signal travels from the hidden wire) to meet the needs of your pet(s): a larger signal distance if you have large animals or a smaller range for small pets.

Flexible Training Levels

The DogWatch transmitter and receiver offer up to twenty unique options (plus audible only) to ensure safe, appropriate containment for pets of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. The settings are easy to understand and user adjustable (no service call required).

Proven Training Program

All DogWatch Dealers provide on-site training using a safe and effective training program that includes visual recognition of boundary flags, learning to retreat from the audible warning signal and learning that there is an unpleasant sensation if they cross the boundary.

Flexible, Affordable Containment Areas

Over the river and through the woods? Backyard only . . . but not the pool and flower garden? Create a swimming area in the lake? We can do that! A hidden fence is more flexible and less expensive than a traditional fence. And your dog can’t jump over, dig under or chew through a hidden fence!

Works for Cats (and more!)

All DogWatch products are effective for cats, too! Create an invisible boundary that keeps your cat in your yard and out of the kids' sandbox. You can also create an indoor cat fence to keep kitty off the kitchen counter, away from your new sofa and out of the baby's room. And you can use the system for cat containment and dog containment at the same time! Also works for other pets including pigs, goats, sheep and more! Read more.

Lifetime Equipment Warranty

Our Hidden Fence products are built to last. We offer a no-nonsense Lifetime Limited Equipment Warranty on our DogWatch SmartFence® containment system (DogWatch SmartFence® Transmitter and DogWatch SmartCollar®) - including dog chews!

30-Day Money-Back Guarantee

We work hard to make sure DogWatch products are the best in the business. We back that up with a 30-day money-back guarantee. We want to make sure your pet is safe and you are happy with your purchase!

The First Connected Fence Know Before They Do At Your Fingertips Customized for Your Pet Customized for You

The SmartFence keeps you informed, with customized text and/or email messages to help ensure your pet’s safety and give you even more peace of mind. The SmartFence lets you know if your boundary wire is disconnected, if your pet’s SmartCollar battery is low, if you lost power, and more. The SmartFence lets you monitor your pet’s activity, and analyze daily, weekly and monthly trends. The SmartFence is customized for your pet, and includes individualized profiles for families with multiple pets. You can tailor your SmartFence App notifications so you’ll receive only the information you need, when you need it.

Stay connected with your pet.

Customer Story

"We have two dogs, one is a runner, bolting any chance he gets. We met with our local DogWatch Dealer and had the SmartFence installed. It has been great! No more runaways! Our trainer was very dedicated and worked with us and the dogs to make sure it was successful! It is so nice to be able to let the dogs out and run in the yard without worrying about them running, getting lost, aggravating the neighbors or getting hit by cars. We highly recommend DogWatch!"
