  Rob of Dogwatch of Litchfield County went above and beyond to help me fix my dog’s collar. He went out of his way to repair it as soon as possible and saved me a lot of money.

From having our fencing installed to wire repairs to fixing the collar Rob always has been prompt, friendly and super helpful! I would highly recommend Dogwatch to anyone that is looking for invisible fencing.

  Great service, communication, and overall grateful to work with a company like this. They are few and far between now. I had mice eat through my wires and they were out within a day to fix. As my dogs grew, I had to order a larger collar. The post office lost the contents of the package and Rob has another out the next day. Even offered to deliver himself. I’m very grateful to have done business with them. 10/10 would recommend.

  I purchased a DogWatch fence for my yard, and it has truly been a game-changer for both me and my dog. Installation was quick and easy. Customer service is top notch. They are great about checking in with how training is going and answering any questions on the system. I’m very satisfied with my dog fence. It’s given me peace of mind knowing my dog can roam safely within the yard without the risk of running off.

  DogWatch has been such a blessing to have. Our dog is free to roam around the yard without us worrying. We have a german shepherd and he learned very quickly, from Liz, how to navigate the yard. She was absolutely amazing at training him for just 3 days. We also had a lot of help from Rob, he answered all our questions and was very helpful. I highly recommend DogWatch if you’re looking for safety and peace of mind for your dog to be able to roam outside without a leash. Thank you DogWatch!

Customer Testimonial

I have been a DogWatch customer for 5 years now. I have always been so so happy with the results for my farm dog and my bulldog. I made a big mistake and purchased a HALO collar for my new dog. It was so confusing, and frustrating… and my dog was not safe. We did all the required training and it just was not for us… I called my Dogwatch of Litchfield crew and they were out here THE NEXT DAY with solutions to keep ALL my dogs a SAFE! Their customer service is top notch and the trainer is so sweet. In 3 quick training visits my dogs are safe! There is nothing better. Don’t waste your time trying any of the “new” hype collars. Dog watch is tried and true and works like a charm!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a hidden fence?
A hidden fence is an underground pet fencing system that uses a radio signal to keep your dog in a designated containment area, such as a yard; or out of an area, such as a swimming pool, patio, or garden. Hidden fences can also be used to create Indoor Boundaries that work inside your home to keep your pet off a couch, out of a room or away from a kitchen counter.
Hidden fences are often mistakenly referred to generically as “invisible fences”. Invisible Fence® is a brand name and Registered Trademark of the Invisible Fence Company.
How do hidden dog fences work?
Hidden fences are created by burying a ‘boundary wire’ a few inches underground around your property. The buried wire carries a harmless, low level radio signal from a transmitter installed in your house or garage. Your pet wears a lightweight, waterproof receiver collar that recognizes the radio signal. As your pet approaches the buried wire, the receiver collar emits a warning signal (audible or vibration). If your pet travels further, he will receive a mild but safe stimulation (also called a “correction”) from the receiver collar. Through a training program, your pet learns to recognize his fence boundaries and learns to stop at the warning signal. Although there are differences in some of the product features, this is how all hidden fences work (DogWatch®, Invisible Fence® and other radio fence brands.)
With an indoor system, the hidden wire runs around your couch, under the lip of the counter, around the trash or across a doorway or wherever you need to create either a containment area or an “off-limits” area. We also have “wireless” indoor units that do not require placement of a boundary wire. Give us a call to discuss your options.
How does my dog learn where the hidden fence boundary is?
Training is an important part of the process. After we install the hidden fence, we work with you to train your pet. The training includes teaching your pet to recognize the containment area boundaries through a combination of voice commands, audible warning signals from the receiver collar and visual flags that are set in the yard where the pet hears the warning alert. With training, the dog remembers the placement of the flags and associates the flags with the warning signal. As your pet learns, the flags are slowly taken away. Your pet also learns that if he continues beyond the flags and warning alert, he will receive a mild correction (a stimulation from the collar). After training, most dogs do not cross the hidden boundary; they usually stop before the warning signal to avoid the correction.
We will initiate the training and provide instructions and support so you can complete and reinforce the training. After the initial training, your dog goes through a training session with you for a few minutes each day for about two weeks. We will develop a plan to meet the specific training needs of your pet(s).

Will the stimulation from a hidden dog fence collar hurt my dog?
No. The “stimulation” from the collar is unpleasant, but it will not “burn” or injure your pet. It is a sensation similar to the static shock you receive after walking across a carpet in your socks. It is uncomfortable, but it does not harm you.
How much do hidden fences cost?
The cost for a DogWatch Hidden Fence is almost always much less than traditional fencing. The cost varies based on which system is right for you, the number of pets, the size of the property, how many sidewalk and driveway cuts, if you want internal “garden loops”, etc. Contact us for a free consultation and an estimate for your property.
In addition to costing less than traditional fences, hidden fences provide more flexibility and more secure containment than traditional fences. For example, you can contain your dog in your yard, but keep him out of a pool area, garden or driveway gate. Plus, your dog cannot jump over, chew through or dig under a hidden fence. And hidden fences don’t need to be painted and don’t deteriorate like traditional fences.
There usually isn’t much difference in the cost of a DogWatch® fence and other Dealer installed brands (such as Invisible Fence®.) Retail brands may seem to cost less than the Dealer installed brands, but they do not include installation (which can be challenging), training (which is very important), ongoing support or a good Warranty program. Also, Dealer installed products tend to be better quality than retail brands.
