Lightning Protection: The Dangers And How DogWatch® Keeps You Safe

Lightning Protection: The Dangers And How DogWatch® Keeps You Safe

Summertime and early fall bring an increase in thunderstorms and the heart of hurricane season. Hidden Fence owners might worry about their systems during inclement weather and what happens if the fence loses connection. DogWatch® Hidden Fences address these concerns with a robust design.

Understanding Electrical Surges

During thunderstorms, while we stay safe indoors, our electrical appliances are at risk. Most appliances operate on around 120 volts and can handle up to 170 volts. However, a lightning bolt can deliver 100 million to 1 billion volts, potentially entering through TV cables, satellite dishes, phone lines, or electrical service lines. Unlike other appliances, a Hidden Fence can’t be unplugged for safety reasons, necessitating DogWatch’s internal and external surge protection.

Internal and External Surge Protection

DogWatch®  Hidden Fence systems are shielded from both internal and external surges.

  • Internal Surge Protection: The first defense is a surge protection device on the internal transmitter. This device diverts surges through your home’s wiring into the ground, protecting the hidden fence system.
  • External Surge Protection: For external surges, the external surge protector and ground rod work together to divert surges and help protect your hidden fence line, help prevent breaks or damage. DogWatch offers a *limited lifetime warranty on all transmitters installed by DogWatch of Litchfield County due to confidence in their surge protection technology.

Why It Matters

Thunderstorm phobia is common among pets due to their fear of loud noises. Thunderstorms can cause pets to seek shelter or bolt from the property. DogWatch’s surge protection  helps prevents breaks in the hidden fence, keeping anxious pets safely within the property. To help pets during thunderstorms, create a safe space, provide background noise, and offer treats.

Checking Your DogWatch Hidden Fence System

To ensure your hidden fence is functioning correctly:

  1. Verify the green Power light on the Transmitter is on.
  2. When your dog is indoors, remove their collar and carry it outside towards the wire boundary to verify the system was not damaged.
  3. Hold the receiver at the dog’s neck height and approach the boundary.
  4. Listen for the audible warning signal in the warning zone. If you don’t hear it, your system might be down. Contact DogWatch of Litchfield County if you live in Litchfield Connecticut .

Conclusion

While DogWatch can’t prevent lightning strikes, they can help to minimize potential damage, and help to keep your property and pets safe. If your Hidden Fence Transmitter or Power Supply is damaged by lightning, it is covered under DogWatch’s *limited Lifetime Warranty. *Deductible may apply. Contact dealer for details.

April Showers Bring DogWatch

April in the northeast is an immensely unpredictable time. We experience glimpses of the hottest days of summer, followed by endless dreary days of rain, sleet, and dare I suggest… snow. Some days you can experience all four seasons in one singular day, no hormonal imbalance required! It is no wonder the notoriously ambivalent April Ludgate shares her name. When Mother Nature is feeling as erratic as she does in the spring, all we can do is hunker down and prepare for the unexpected. This leaves little room for routine, and pushes toward a life of flexibility and rolling with whatever each day has in store. You must be able to change your plans fast, and your clothes even faster. 

If the weather is less “spring,” and a little more “showers,” indicating more indoor playtime, your pets will be happily contained within our indoor hidden pet boundaries. But when those idyllic glimpses of summer do appear–as shown in the various Hallmark movies they’ve been filming around here lately–you and your antsy pets will want to take full advantage of outdoor time by utilizing our outdoor hidden fence. Spring is also the perfect time to remind your pooch of his or her manners. Spring cleaning does in fact include banishing all quarantine quirks, and freshening up on how to act properly in public. There is good and bad news surrounding our collective quarantine recovery. The bad news is that we humans need to just figure it out through awkward small talk and uncomfortably long gaps of silence. The good news is, DogWatch can help our four-legged friends recover a bit easier. We have the perfect device to help your pets readjust properly to the excitement of the outside world. The BigLeash is a fantastic training tool to reinforce training commands as well as to change undesirable behaviors… nobody likes a crotch sniffer. 

Don’t hesitate in reaching out to DogWatch of Litchfield County today for a free quote! I promise we are a very friendly group of people; you’ll only ever experience the spring and none of the showers.

Let’s Get Invisible

You may be wondering, why should I get a hidden fence over a regular old standard fence? Aren’t things that are visible much more appealing than those that are not? And to that, all I have to say is, I have yet to see The Tooth Fairy in person; but if I did, that would definitely make the entire process of losing a tooth far less magical, and far more creepy than the faceless routine currently in existence. Unlike The Tooth Fairy, you can gladly keep all of your teeth in exchange for a Dogwatch of Litchfield County hidden fence. The perks of our fences are seemingly endless!

What are the benefits to a Dogwatch of Litchfield Country hidden fence over a traditional fence?

  1. More Cost Effective
    A hidden fence is undoubtedly less expensive than a traditional fence. We also have a wonderful warranty program to ensure you are satisfied with our product and services. Even compared to other hidden fence companies, with Dogwatch of Litchfield County, you will save incomparable amounts of money on through utilizing our two-year batteries for our collars. We are happy to discuss how you may get a quote for your particular yard, today!
  2. Quicker Installation
    Installing our hidden fence takes only a matter of hours! Even the largest yards can be completed in one day of installation. This is much faster than a traditional fence, which could take several weeks to install. Your fence can be installed, and your dog can be fully trained, in less time than it takes to solely install a traditional fence.
  3. More Flexibility in Fence Placement
    There are very few constraints around where we can place the underground wire. We can even make garden loops to keep your pets out of your more delicate spaces! Let us know where you would like the wire placed, and we will work to accommodate your needs. Book an estimate for your yard here.
  4. Will Not Obstruct Your View
    There is nothing worse than living in a home with a beautiful view only to block it with an unappealing containment fence. With a Dogwatch of Litchfield County hidden fence, you can keep your views perfectly clear, while keeping your pet safe. We work on waterfront properties regularly!
  5. Better Containment for Your Pets
    A Dogwatch of Litchfield County hidden fence is much more reliable in containing your pets than a traditional fence. Dogs cannot dig under, or jump over, our boundaries. Each boundary is set to your pet’s particular tendencies and needs. Even if you lose power, there is an automatic battery backup to ensure that your pet is always safe.
  6. Zero Hassle for Humans Crossing Over
    A hidden fence allows your pets to remain contained, while the humans in your life are able to move about freely. People can easily cross the boundaries without any hesitation. This eliminates the fear of someone leaving a gate open and allowing a beloved pet to escape!
  7. Deters Intruders
    Nothing seems less appealing than messing with a home with a seemingly loose dog running around. By giving your pets the ability to roam free throughout your yard, you may keep your home safe from any funny business!

In choosing a Dogwatch of Litchfield County hidden fence, you are choosing a lifetime of reliability and ease. We will work with you one-on-one to tailor our products to your specific needs. See which outdoor hidden fence suits your needs best here. Grab your phone, your sweat bands, and your leg warmers, and let’s get invisible! Free Cute funny Yorkshire Terrier with fluffy muzzle playing with ball Stock Photo
