We Install DogWatch Hidden Fences in the Winter

Yes, We Install DogWatch Hidden Fences in the Winter! Here’s Why It’s a Great Time to Get One.

Winter in Litchfield County brings snow-covered landscapes, chilly temperatures, and cozy nights by the fire. But while we might be bundled up indoors, our dogs still need to get outside, stretch their legs, and enjoy some fresh air. If you’ve been thinking about installing a DogWatch Hidden Fence, you might be wondering—can it be done in winter?

The answer? Absolutely! In fact, winter is actually one of the best times to install a hidden fence. Here’s why:

1. The Ground Doesn’t Stop Us!

Many people assume that frozen ground makes installations impossible, but that’s not the case! Our expert team has the tools and experience to install your hidden fence year-round, even when there’s a little snow on the ground.

2. Beat the Spring Rush!

Spring is one of the busiest times for hidden fence installations as pet owners rush to get their systems in before outdoor season kicks in. By scheduling your winter installation, you’ll beat the rush and have your system up and running before the first signs of spring.

3. Keep Your Dog Safe in the Snow!

Winter can bring additional hazards for dogs—icy roads, deep snow, and even frozen ponds can all pose risks. With a DogWatch Hidden Fence, you can keep your pup safe while still giving them the freedom to roam in your yard. Our fences work in all weather conditions, so you don’t have to worry about your system failing when you need it most.

4. Training is Easy in Winter, Too!

Some pet owners worry that training might be more difficult in the winter, but with DogWatch’s gentle, effective training methods, it’s just as easy as any other time of year! Plus, winter training means your dog will already be fully trained and ready to go once spring arrives.

5. Flexible Payment and Scheduling Options!

We know the winter months can be a busy time, so we offer flexible scheduling to fit your needs. We can also help with payment plans if needed, so you don’t have to put off giving your dog the freedom they deserve.

Don’t Wait—Schedule Your Installation Today!

There’s no need to wait until spring (it’s right around the corner) to keep your dog safe. DogWatch of Litchfield County is ready to install your hidden fence today—so you can relax knowing your pup is protected year-round.

Spooky Season

Fall in New England is one of the most striking and picturesque times of the year. As one of the rare corners of the country with four truly distinct seasons, the transition from summer to fall is a time to be treasured. Fall has also become one of the trendiest times of the year; notorious for its wide brimmed hats, highly scented candles, and pumpkin spice lattes. Quaint Eastern Connecticut beach towns become literal ghost towns–pun intended, you can find dozens of actual ghost tours. Locals and influencers alike gather in our very own backyard to frolic in piles of leaves (eww ticks) while recreating iconic scenes from The Gilmore Girls. Caitlin Covington, the face of “Christian Girl Autumn,” even made her yearly trip north this month for optimal foliage content. It’s no wonder that fall ranks as America’s favorite season each year. If you happen to have a free moment between the 27 weddings on your October calendar, we’d love to tell you why Dogwatch is the icing on this prestigious month’s cake.

Lifelong New Englanders know that fall is the precipice of its far less popular cousin, winter. And what does that mean? Your current idyllic walks with your furry friend through peaceful, colorful foliage will soon turn into dreaded treks through dark and slushy terrain. As a wise Stark once said, “Winter is coming”; and it spares no one. Before the ground turns into an undesired public skating rink, call Dogwatch of Litchfield County to keep your pets safely contained in your yard this winter. So before you and your family embark on your spooky trek for treats as Barbenheimer this Halloween, remember to prevent the scariest thing of all: losing your beloved pet.

Happy Halloween from all of us at Dogwatch of Litchfield County!

Dogwatch Superlatives

This time of year you cannot drive very far without seeing countless graduation signs at the end of driveways. We would love to add our sign into the mix! With humans, graduations occur only a select few times a year. With Dogwatch, graduations occur nearly daily! It’s the perfect time to dust off the old yearbook and recount the most memorable superlatives from the job…

Best Breed to Train:

Any, with preference for those who don’t bite the trainer.

Best Age to Train:

Dogs – over 4 months of age

Owners – under 100 years old

Best Time to Install a Hidden Fence:

Any time of year! But is there any better time than the spring and fall in the Northeast??

Most Commonly Asked Question by Women:

“Do you sell hidden fence collars for children and/or husbands as well?”

Most Commonly Asked Question by Men:

“Wait, can you repeat all of the rules for training just told me?”

Most Commonly Asked Question by Teenagers:

“Can I try on the collar?”

Best Smile:

Bailey and Riley!

Best Head Tilt:

Too close to call…

Rip

Luna & Leryo

Best Training Partner:

Our patient, sweet, gentle, easygoing (the list could go on for days) training dog, Koda!

Class Clown:

Bubba, who also assists in trainings, but prefers relaxing in the driver’s seat of the electric training car.

We hope we can add you to the list of superlatives next year! Call for a free estimate today!
