A hidden fence is often referred to as "invisible." Dog fence systems, however, are not all the same. Exclusive safety and convenience features make DogWatch Hidden Fences the best choice in the pet containment fence industry.

SafeLink™ FM Technology!
DogWatch is the only Hidden Fence System that uses an FM radio (fences from all other pet fencing brands use AM radio) signal. SafeLink provides your pet with the best protection against unintentional stimulation from stray radio signals (e.g., garage door openers, televisions and computers). Police, fire and aircraft equipment all use an FM system. SafeLink is more safe and secure for your pet.

Extended Battery Life For Greater Safety and Consistent Performance!
The R8 receiver deliver two-year battery life — eight times longer than the battery life of an Invisible Fence® receiver! The less often you change batteries, the less likely your containment system will fail due to a loss of battery power. And there's the added bonus of being more environmentally friendly — in 10 years, you'll be using only five DogWatch batteries instead of 40 Invisible Fence® batteries!

Lower Maintenance Costs!
Not surprisingly it also costs less to buy five batteries than 40! In short our batteries last longer, cost less and are more easily obtainable!

Convenient Features for Pet Owners!

• Our status light tells you if the receiver is operating properly, indicates what training level you're using, and when the battery power is low.
• DogWatch includes a unique feature that allows you to correct your dog with an audible-only reminder when he approaches the electronic fence. This Pet-Friendly™ feature is available on all DogWatch products.
• DogWatch features the broadest pet training range in the industry. Whether your pet is timid or energetic, we have a training level that will uniquely meet their needs.
• YOU can adjust our receiver to the training level that works best for your pet's personality and size. No need for a service call or any other charges.

• Our exclusive AutoMemory™ feature constantly monitors and automatically adjusts the training level for your dog if he "challenges" his boundary. It's available in the R7 and R8 receivers.
• Both receivers also feature FastReact™ — the fastest response time in the industry. At .125 of a second, if your pet challenges the electronic fence the receiver will react immediately — at the beginning of the avoidance zone — not when he's half way through. This feature helps ensure your pet responds to the radio dog fences' signal while still INSIDE the containment area.
• Our Pet-Friendly™ audible-only training option allows you to have your pet receive an audible "beep" tone before he feels a correction OR  you can have him receive just an audible-only tone without a correction at all.
• DogWatch transmitters constantly monitor your electronic dog fence and lets you know if you have a break in your underground wire with an audible warning.
• Your DogWatch Hidden Fence System has a lifetime transferable equipment warranty when installed by The Dog Guy Pet Containment.

Digital modulation (DM) is a generic term. DM is not a form of a signal. In the pet containment industry, all AM and FM signals are DM similar to what you would find in a car radio. Fences from Invisible Fence®, Pet Stop®, and other brands all use forms of Amplitude Modulation (AM). DogWatch is the only vendor in the pet containment industry with Frequency Modulation (FM). The differences between AM and FM are substantial:

– AM receivers are susceptible to interference from other products such as computers, garage door openers, and televisions.

– FM signals are used by police, fire, and aircraft equipment because the reception is much more immune to interference.

DogWatch is the only manufacturer of Hidden Fences with a patented FM radio signal. We believe FM is more secure and offers major safety advantages for you and your pet, so it doesn't get an improper correction as a result of interference.

An FM radio system allows us to offer the consumer a greater number of features. An FM radio wave is more concise and therefore allows faster reception of the signal than waves from an AM radio. Fences from DogWatch can pack more features to protect your pet (FastReact™), and are convenient for you (AutoMemory™), while providing the longest battery life in the industry.

With a two-year battery life, there is less chance of your receiver not working due to a dead battery — and this is safer for your pet. A two-year battery life has additional advantages: it’s more convenient for you, since you have to change the battery only once compared to eight times in two years with an Invisible Fence® receiver. And as an added bonus, a two-year battery life is much more environmentally friendly: in ten years, you’ll use five DogWatch batteries compared to 40 Invisible Fence® batteries.
