FAQ (page 2)
Q: Is the DogWatch fence similar to an electric fence?
A: No! The underground runs on radio signals. A transmitter (which is plugged in) allows the fence to emit radio signals, which are picked up by the receiver collar worn by the dog when he approaches or reaches the boundary.
Q: Will the stimulation from the collar hurt my dog?
A: No! This type of stimulation has been used in dog training for over 40 years. A dog’s skin resistance is about 20 to 25 times greater than of humans. Furthermore, the amount of correction can be adjusted so that a dog receives the appropriate level of stimulation for its size. DogWatch systems have been tested by a major veterinary college, and are used and recommended by veterinarians.
Q: Will the system work for more than one dog?
A: Yes. There is no limit to the number of dogs a system can protect at one time.
Q: Is the system safe during a lightning storm?
A: The DogWatch Hidden Fence System has lightning surge protection in the transmitter and uses an external surge protector. Of course, your dog should be safe in the house during a lightning storm!
Q: What if my dog gets past the fence – how does the system react?
A: The receiver shuts down automatically after 15 seconds to guard your pet against over-correction. In addition, our receiver offers the fastest reaction time if your dog challenges the boundary, thanks to our FastReact feature.
Q: How much does it cost? What if I move?
A: DogWatch Hidden Fencing can cost much less than traditional fencing. And once you buy the system, you can expand it or take it with you when you move. Contact your local dealer for an estimate on your individual yard.
