DogWatch Hidden Fences
e peace of mind that your dog is safe and secure in your yard or on your property. Whether it's a gate opening or a vineyard, a landscaped area or a ten acre parcel, we have a Hidden Fence for all breeds and all situations. Your dog can run and play over your entire yard, and you can still protect planted areas and beds, a swimming pool, a play area, sport-court, BBQ, or other small areas. And, unlike more costly wooden or chain link fences, your dog can't jump over or dig under the DogWatch signal field. Our Indoor Systems can be used to block off a certain doorway, room or stairs, as well as keeping your dog off of the kitchen counter, away from a rug or sofa, or out of the kitty box. Just think: NO MORE BABY GATES. NO TETHERS. NO PENS, KENNELS or CAGES. You can give your dog the freedom to be happy and healthy...out from underneath your thumb, and back in your good graces. The R7 and R8 receivers continue our tradition of keeping dogs safe and happy at home. The R7 receiver is just right for even the tiniest dogs (and cats!) thanks to its sleek design and unique pet-friendly™ features. The R8 receiver is perfect for medium to large dogs and boasts a 2-year battery life — the longest in the industry!

Come. Sit. Stay Off the Chair!Indoor Pet Containment System
Your pets easily learn where they can go - - and what is off-limits
Your pet is welcome in most parts of the house, but maybe there's one room or piece of furniture you'd like to keep pet-free without raising your voice or installing unsightly gates. You can effectively keep your pet off the couch, away from the trash, out of the dining room, and away off of your kitchen counters with our indoor pet fence systems.
Our indoor pet fences work wherever you need them, quietly, effectively, and hidden from view. A harmless, noiseless FM radio signal lets you control where your pets roam in the house. The systems work with the same DogWatch receiver collar your pet wears outside, so it is a great way to expand the value of your Hidden Fence purchase.
Our indoor pet fence works well for both dogs and cats.
For simple applications, try one of our 'wireless' fence units.*
Just place the transmitter in the area you want to protect and create an instant hidden fence, easily adjusted by you. Our indoor systems are the perfect solution for keeping your dog away from the cat litter box!
* 'Wireless' units do not require boundary wires; the signal radiates directly from the transmitter and the signal can be adjusted to create the boundaries you need. The transmitters plug into any wall outlet; they are not battery operated.
Dogs love to run and jump. Dogs love to dig. Sometimes they bark. Sometimes they steal your socks...or your food. Fortunately, dogs are pretty smart, so with a little training, you and your tail waggin' buddy can enjoy each other's company even more than you already do.
Your dog is happiest when he knows he is pleasing you - you can see it in his tail. But without training, he may not understand what is 'good dog' behavior and what is 'bad dog' behavior. As far as he knows, he is just doing what comes naturally - - being a dog! Some dogs learn quickly; but most dogs need some help learning good behavior. Good training is an important part of helping you and your canine companion live together in peace and harmony. And, more importantly, good training helps keep your pet safe. So, if you love your dog, train him. You’ll both be glad you did.
Remote trainers allow you to communicate remotely with your pet. With proper use, they help reinforce your commands and correct your dog's unwanted behaviors. They provide the ability to train your dog with precise timing and with consistency, both of which are important for effective training.
How does a remote trainer work?
There are two basic components to a remote training system: a handheld “transmitter” and a “receiver” which is worn on a dog collar.
The transmitter sends a radio signal to a special receiver on the dog’s collar. The receiver on the collar “communicates” to your dog through a set of two stainless steel posts. The posts are part of the receiver collar and they are in contact with your dog’s neck.
You can use the remote trainer to send a wide range of training messages to your pet. Depending on the training situation, the training message may be delivered as:
- An audible tone or a vibration
- A brief stimulation* (1 second)
- A constant stimulation (up to 8 seconds)
The training message from the dog’s receiver collar can get your dog’s attention or distract him from an unwanted behavior. By obeying your obedience command or by stopping the undesired behavior, your dog quickly learns to avoid and/or stop tone or sensation which is delivered by the receiver collar.
*”stimulation” may also be referred to as “correction”, “training stimulation”, “training correction”, “training signal”; or “shock”
Will the stimulation signal hurt my dog?
The “stimulation” from the collar is intended to distract your dog by delivering an unpleasant but harmless sensation similar to the static shock you receive after walking across a carpet in your socks.
The BigLeash training collar provides you with multiple stimulation levels. Most dog trainers find they can achieve their desired results using a low intensity stimulation, often barely perceptible to humans. All BigLeash models also include an audible signal which allows you to condition your dog to associate the audible tone with the training correction, thus eliminating the need for the stimulation altogether.
The BigLeash with Good Vibrations™ includes both audible and vibration training options.
Which stimulation level is correct for my dog?
Always start with the lowest intensity level and work your way up as needed. You will know you have found the proper stimulation level when your dog responds to the stimulation with only a mild twitch or perk of the ears or like you have given him a quick tug on a leash.
What is the difference between “Brief” and “Continuous” stimulation?
Brief stimulation is a quick "attention getter" that lasts only for a fraction of a second, regardless of how long you press the button. This stimulation has been described as feeling like a mosquito bite.
Continuous stimulation is a pulsating stimulation that continues until you release the transmitter button (up to 8 seconds maximum).
What kind of safety features does the BigLeash have?
In addition to having 10 training levels as well as audible and vibration modes, the BigLeash can be set to “0” stimulation level so that you will not accidentally send a correction when you have the collar on the dog but are not actively using the trainer. Additionally, the BigLeash includes an automatic shut-off feature that limits the continuous stimulation to 8 seconds.
What age should my dog be before I can begin using an remote trainer?
The appropriate age depends on the dog and his readiness for training. Your dog needs to have a basic understanding of what is expected of him and he must understand basic commands. Some trainers recommend waiting until the dog is five or six months old; others will train younger dogs if they understand the basic commands.
What is the correct way to use a remote trainer?
Remote trainers are intended for two basic purposes:
To reinforce already-learned desirable behaviors, such as obedience commands. Your dog learns to "turn-off" the unpleasant stimulus by performing the command correctly.
To correct unwanted behaviors, such as digging, chewing, jumping up, etc. Your dog learns to associate the unpleasant stimulation with the unwanted behavior and, therefore, stops doing the behavior.
Remote trainers are not recommended for dogs with a history of aggressive behavior unless being used by experienced dog trainers.
