What Is a Hidden Pet Fence?

DogWatch hidden pet fences use an electronic radio signal transmitted through a buried or hidden boundary wire. Your dog (or cat) wears a special collar with a receiver that detects the radio signal and alerts the dog when he gets too close to the buried wire. Using an electronic radio pet fence is easy and it is safe.

Hidden fences are sometimes referred to as underground dog fence or underground fencing, radio pet fence, wireless pet fence or "invisible fence."*

What a Hidden Pet Fence Is Not

The DogWatch pet containment system is not an electric dog fence! The buried wire is not electrified.

DogWatch and other ‘invisible’* underground pet fence systems are a form of electronic dog fence which use a radio signal. The dog wears a special collar that detects the radio signal.

Hidden and "invisible" pet fences should not be mistakenly referred to as 'electric fences'. They are radio fences, not electric fences.

How the Hidden Fence Works To Keep Your Pet Safe

Through an easy training process, your pet learns to identify and stay within your pet containment area. He learns to respond to an audible signal (a beep that comes from his collar). If he continues to go beyond the audible signal, he receives a mild correction transmitted through the receiver collar. Most dogs learn easily and quickly to respond to the audible warning signal when they get too close to the hidden fence.

DogWatch Hidden Fences are safe for your pet and they are effective at keeping your pet safe. Veterinarians, pet professionals and pet trainers all over the world own and recommend DogWatch Hidden Fence pet containment systems.

Whatever your pet containment needs are, a DogWatch Hidden Fence is the best way to give your pet the freedom he deserves while keeping him safe.
