What Our Customers Say
Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. No one has gotten back to me in 5 days to provide a replacement receiver in 5 days of calling! My dog is getting out every day. Can’t get it but from your local dealer. WTH!?Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been with DogWatch of Columbus for 33 years. They are dependable, courteous and always available when needed. In that 33 years I have had several dogs and they were all kept safe because of DogWatch's invisible fence.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Pat and Emily were amazing. We had our original dog watch fence put in 9 years ago by them, and always worked great. When our beloved Gunner passed away unexpectedly a year ago we had no intention of getting another dog but changed our minds recently. When I turned the dog fence on there was a break in the line and I called for service and to have our new puppy trained. Pat came out, fixed our broken line, and trained our new puppy. They’ve been doing this a long time and are very professional and dependable. Prices were reasonable and instructions for the remainder of training outlined. We couldn’t be happier with the customer service and care they provide. We highly recommend them for your dog fence needs!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Would I use DogWatch again? Yes Pat and Emily are great and we really enjoy our hidden fence. Our BernieDoodle does great with it and all has been good with three years. While I would definitely use them again, two challenges I have. 1) Super expensive for any repairs and the lines are not dug deep. 2) When you need to get ahold of DogWatch the phone message system is frustrating and not ideal to say the least. Again the fence is great and I would install again but when you have issues it leaves something to be desired.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend DogWatch of Columbus. They installed our fence over 15 years ago and it is still working perfectly.

You Asked, We Answered
A ‘cat fence’ is the same DogWatch Hidden Fence that is used for dogs. We just call it a cat fence when we are using it for cats! Actually, the hidden fence can be used for both cats and dogs at the same time. The hidden fence uses an electronic FM radio signal to keep your pet in a designated containment area, such as a yard or specific areas in your house; or away from an area, such as the kitchen counters, the couch or favorite ‘scratching post’ chair, the swimming pool or garden. You can use the same collar with our indoor cat fence and our outdoor hidden fence.
For outdoor fences, a hidden wire, buried underground, carries the harmless, low level FM radio signal around the containment area. Your pet wears a receiver on a collar that picks up the radio signal and emits a mild electrical stimulation (also called a correction) if it gets too close to the boundary. Using visual flags and an audible signal, your pet is trained to recognize where the boundary is. After training, it is unusual for pets to receive the correction as they know to avoid the boundary area. With consistent boundaries and good training, pets can play happily knowing where they should and shouldn’t go.
With our indoor cat fence, the transmitter emits the radio signal directly from the portable transmitter to create an “off-limits” area up to 10 feet in diameter. Or it can be used with a wire that you can hide around your couch or other containment area to create an indoor “fence”. All of our other Indoor Pet Fences can also be used with our cat fence collar.
Yes. We have successfully trained many cats to use indoor and outdoor hidden fences. Because cats can climb trees (etc.), your DogWatch Dealer will work with you to establish an appropriate plan for your outdoor fence. The fence configuration may need to be a little different than a fence that is only for dogs. Training a cat to use the fence is also a little different than training a dog to use the fence. Contact us for more information.
Instructions are available here for training your cat to the indoor fence. If your local DogWatch Dealer is installing your cat fence or indoor fence, training assistance is usually included. Cats learn the containment area through visual cues (flags) and audible warning signals from the receiver collar. For outdoor cats, training is generally done indoors before introducing the cat to the outdoor system.

Yes. There is no limit to the number of cats or dogs (or both!) our hidden pet fencing can protect at one time.
