We've had our dog fence since September. What an awesome system this is! Day 1 we were totally at ease with our Golden puppy out in the yard. The crew who installed our system was incredible. They were informative, fast, and friendly. They spent a ton if time with our puppy learning the boundary and tou can tell they really love dogs. Over the span of 4 days I removed most of the flags. Our dog sprints around but knows her boundaries. She barely ever got shocked, it didnt take much at all. I highly recommend DogWatch of the Endless Mountains ! Thank you guys!

I waited a month just to make sure it wasnt too good to be true but i am super satisfied with the results from our dog fence,, a little tweaking on levels on collars first week or so but dogs will not go near the underground perimeter… on my property you never know what heard of animals are going to be outside every day.. turkeys deer bear whatever Northeast Pennsylvania is home to comes thru our yard.. and the dogs will chase.. i have a bermese mountain dog a Mastiff and a cocker spaniel and they had a habit of hearing kids at recess at school across the street and sometimes deciding to join them as well as participating in the highschool cross country practice when they run past house… all of that has stopped… no more anxiety when you hear a bark and having to wonder what they are chasing and how far are they going to go this time… it wasnt all the time but when they go they go…. And people also drive past house like its the pocono raceway… so anyway my dogs can be let out in morning in front yard and come in when they want… tried and tested… bears been in driveway and they wont cross line.. crows across the street and they run to line and bark but refuse to go into that danger zone.. deer in yard same thing… they will not leave perimeter… didnt realize what a relief this fence has become…. No more calls from elementary school that the bermese is trying to go down the slide with the 2nd graders….. very happy with fence and the cost is a fraction of what the vet bill would be if one of the dogs gets hit by a car….

What Pet Owners Are Saying

Real stories from local families who trust DogWatch® Hidden Fence to keep their pets safe.

“Hands down the best product out there, sold by the best business owner I’ve met in recent years. Maryann is top-notch! Her passion for the product is unparalleled, and she’s only a phone call away if you have a question or concern.
My husband thought we could just purchase a regular old fence from the internet and do it ourselves… you truly get what you pay for. The investment in DogWatch is worth every single dollar.”

Verified DogWatch Customer since 2015

“DogWatch was the answer for us. We adopted two shelter Beagles within a year of each other. Buddy came to us a mess — infected ears, infected teeth, cancer, and he wasn’t even neutered. He was around 7 or 8 years old and had probably never seen a vet.
DogWatch invisible fencing allowed us to give this old guy the freedom of being outside without a leash. He spent his days wandering the yard and howling.
Anyone who can train a Beagle… and an old one at that… is truly amazing. Thank you, Mare. Buddy crossed the Rainbow Bridge three years ago.”

“Maryann and her crew first set us up at one home and then moved us again three years later to our next one. After just one day with the new fence, our three crazy Labs stopped busting out of the cheap, homeowner-installed fence we tried first.
Since that day, we haven’t had a single break. Not one! Peace of mind… ahhhh!
Super service and an awesome product. I highly recommend this company.”

Frequently Asked Questions

A hidden fence (sometimes called an invisible fence) is an underground pet containment system that uses a buried wire to send a gentle radio signal to your dog’s receiver collar. This keeps your dog safely within a designated area of your yard — or away from off-limits spots such as gardens, pools, patios, or driveways.
Hidden fences can also be used indoors to create simple boundaries that prevent pets from entering certain rooms, climbing on furniture, or approaching kitchen counters.
Many people refer to all hidden fences as “invisible fences,” but Invisible Fence® is actually a registered brand name. DogWatch systems offer their own proven, reliable hidden fence technology that’s designed to be more user-friendly and more cost-effective over time.
Outdoor hidden fence systems work by burying a thin “boundary wire” several inches underground around the perimeter of your property. This wire carries a harmless, low-level radio signal from a transmitter installed in your home or garage. Your pet wears a lightweight, waterproof receiver collar that detects this signal.
When your dog approaches the boundary line, the collar first delivers an audible or vibration warning. If your dog continues past the warning zone, the collar provides a mild, safe correction. During training, your dog quickly learns to stop at the warning and respect the boundary. While individual brands vary in features, all hidden pet fences—including DogWatch®, Invisible Fence®, and others—operate using this same core principle.
Indoor pet fences follow a similar concept. A boundary wire can be placed along bookshelves, under counters, or across specific doorways to block access to certain rooms or surfaces. For added flexibility, DogWatch also offers wireless indoor units that require no wire at all.
To determine the right setup for your home and your pet, please contact us.

Training is the most important part of the hidden fence process, and we guide you through every step. After your hidden fence installation, we work alongside you to teach your dog how the system works using a combination of voice commands, visible boundary flags, and the receiver collar’s warning signal.
During the first phase of training, your yard will be marked with small white flags that show your dog exactly where the boundary begins. As your dog becomes more confident and consistent, you will gradually remove the flags — typically every other flag, every other day — until all of them are gone.
If your dog ignores the audible or vibration warning and moves toward the boundary, the collar delivers a mild, safe correction. This correction is simply a backup; the real goal is for your dog to stop at the warning signal long before they ever reach the correction zone.
We provide clear instructions and full support throughout the process. After the installation, your dog will complete short daily training sessions with you for about two weeks. Our team customizes the training plan to match your dog’s personality, energy level, and learning style, ensuring the process is positive, consistent, and effective.

No — the correction from a hidden dog fence collar is safe and humane. It is designed to get your dog’s attention, not to harm them.
The sensation is similar to the light static feeling you might experience after walking across carpet and touching a doorknob. It’s unpleasant enough to interrupt the behavior, but it does not burn, injure, or cause any long-term discomfort.
Your dog also learns through the warning first — an audible or vibration alert that signals they are approaching the boundary. The correction is simply a backup if your dog ignores the warning.
DogWatch collars are tested, adjustable, and engineered with multiple safety features so you can train confidently, knowing your dog is protected throughout the process.

DogWatch® Hidden Fence systems are typically far more affordable than traditional physical fencing. Pricing can vary based on the system that best fits your needs, the number of pets, the size of your property, whether we need to cross driveways or sidewalks, and whether you’d like optional garden or interior loops. For a personalized quote, you’re welcome to contact us for a complimentary consultation and estimate.
In addition to being cost-effective, hidden fences offer flexibility that traditional fencing simply can’t. Instead of enclosing your entire yard, you can use the hidden fence to keep your dog away from specific areas such as pools, gardens, or driveways. Hidden fences also prevent common escape behaviors like jumping, digging, or chewing through a fence — and they never require painting or long-term maintenance.
Compared with other dealer-installed brands such as Invisible Fence®, DogWatch® systems are generally priced similarly but offer advanced features, longer battery life, and a lifetime limited warranty. Retail “DIY” systems may appear less expensive at first glance, but they usually do not include professional installation, hands-on training, ongoing support, or high-quality components — all of which are essential for safe, reliable containment.

People often use the term “invisible fence” to describe any hidden dog fence, but Invisible Fence® is actually a brand name. DogWatch® is a completely separate company — and our systems offer several safety and convenience advantages that set us apart from Invisible Fence® and other hidden fence brands.
Here are some key differences:
  • FM signal technology, not AM.
    DogWatch is the only hidden fence brand that uses an FM radio frequency. All other major brands use AM, which is more susceptible to interference from outside electrical or radio sources. Interference can lead to false corrections even when a dog is nowhere near the boundary wire.

    Note: Digital modulation (DM) is used by both FM and AM systems — it is not a separate type of signal.

  • Much longer battery life.
    DogWatch receiver collars have an industry-leading two-year battery life — about eight times longer than most other brands, including Invisible Fence®. This means fewer battery changes, lower long-term costs, and less waste.
  • Lower battery costs and no service appointments needed.
    DogWatch batteries are less expensive, and you can change them yourself. You can also adjust your dog’s training level at home without needing to schedule (or pay for) a service call.
  • Easy-to-read status light.
    Every DogWatch receiver collar includes a status light that shows you the current training level, battery level, and whether the collar is functioning properly. It can even indicate if your dog has challenged the boundary — all from one small, easy-to-read light.
  • Gentle “warning-only” training modes.
    All DogWatch collars offer an audible-only or vibration-only setting, allowing dogs to learn their boundaries gently during training without receiving correction.
  • Training levels for every dog — and you can change them yourself.
    Whether your dog is timid, highly energetic, or somewhere in between, DogWatch has a training level that fits their personality. Adjusting levels is simple and does not require a technician, giving you full control and saving time and money.

GPS dog fences are a very new technology, and while they offer helpful features like tracking, they have several important limitations when compared to a wired hidden fence. The main goal of any containment system is to keep your dog safely within the boundary — not to track them after they get out. If a dog routinely leaves the boundary to “use” the tracking feature, something isn’t working properly.
Here are the key differences to consider:
  • GPS signals can shift up to 16 feet.
    GPS fences depend on satellite communication, which can be affected by weather (rain fade), tree cover, buildings, terrain, and other obstructions. Because GPS coordinates can drift by as much as 16 feet, GPS systems are not recommended for small yards or heavily wooded properties.

    With a wired fence, the boundary is always exactly where the wire is — no guessing, no algorithms, no drifting. The DogWatch FM receiver simply detects whether it is in the signal field or not. If it’s in the field, it activates; if not, it sleeps to conserve battery. Simple, consistent, and reliable.

  • GPS fences rely on a 2-dimensional map of your property.
    Satellite maps (like Google Maps) can’t see hills, slopes, dips, or elevation changes. Because GPS fences create boundaries using flat 2D coordinates, sloped or uneven properties often require trial and error to get the “coordinates” right — and even then, accuracy can be inconsistent.
  • “Safe zones” exist to reduce false corrections — but can also cause missed corrections.
    Some GPS models allow you to create a small “safe zone” around your house to compensate for false corrections caused by AM-based technology and drifting GPS signals.

    The problem? If the receiver is confused, it may also skip needed corrections outside the safe zone. This is precisely why DogWatch developed (and patented) FM receiver technology — to eliminate false corrections and provide consistent, reliable containment.

  • GPS collars drain battery quickly.
    Because GPS collars must constantly search for satellites, process data, and track movement, they consume a lot of power. Most require daily recharging — sometimes more. Once the rechargeable battery reaches its maximum charge cycles, the collar can no longer hold a charge and must be replaced entirely.

    Compare that with our ProFence receiver: a two-year minimum battery life, a replaceable battery, and a lifetime limited warranty.

  • GPS collars are large and bulky.
    To house the technology required for GPS processing, these collars are often too big for dogs under 20 lbs. Our DogWatch R7mini weighs only 1.1 ounces — roughly the weight of a single AA battery — making it comfortable even for very small dogs.
  • Many GPS systems require ongoing subscription fees.
    Some models charge monthly or annual fees to access full features or extended warranties. DogWatch Hidden Fences include all features upfront — no subscriptions or hidden service charges.
  • Support for GPS systems is usually online-only.
    Troubleshooting is often limited to scripted responses from remote support agents who have never met you or your dog. Complex behavior issues or unique property challenges may be difficult to solve this way.

    With DogWatch, you get hands-on support from a local dealer who knows your dog, has seen your property, and can provide personalized guidance based on real-world experience.
